Welcome to 711 Folly Drive SE, a beautifully crafted NEW CONSTRUCTION home by MDS Construction, a respected local builder with 40+ years of experience in Brunswick and New Hanover Counties. Located in gated River Run Plantation, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,724 heated square feet, Hardie board fiber cement siding, quality materials, thoughtful details, and timeless coastal style. Set on a beautifully wooded 0.29-acre homesite, the property backs to a 50-FOOT COMMUNITY GREENSPACE BUFFER, creating natural separation from neighboring homes and a peaceful, private backdrop. Mature trees throughout the property add to its charm.
