Rourk Woods sits on the southwest side of Shallotte, tucked back among lots of tall trees and wide, half-acre lots, so there's plenty of privacy and lots of space. The homes have a Craftsman style, with touches like wainscoting, coffered ceilings, crown molding, and tall baseboards, which give them a solid, high-quality feel, and many houses have rocking chair front porches and large screened-in back porches with ceiling fans if you want to be outdoors but still in the shade. Most homes are two stories and have finished rooms over the garage-folks call it the FROG-that have their own bathrooms and make a nice spot for guests or extra space for yourself. Kitchens are modern with granite countertops, big islands, white cabinets, and stainless appliances, and there are open floor plans that flow into comfortable living spaces with hardwood floors and a gas fireplace with built-ins for your TV or books. Bedrooms are roomy, with three beds and three baths being common, and some have walk-in closets and spa bathrooms with tile and walk-in showers, and you might find a split-bedroom plan for added privacy.
The community includes both single-family homes and new townhomes that are move-in ready, with some houses offering solar panels and generators for backup power. Outdoor areas are well cared for, with an irrigation system and preserved woods around much of the site, and there's a real sense of quiet. You'll find a clubhouse, a salt water heated pool, an indoor pool, spa, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, sidewalks for walking, a putting green for golf practice, and a game room, movie theater, and music room for fun or gathering with neighbors. There's also a library and several activity rooms, so you can join resident-run programs like scheduled daily activities, movie nights, arts and crafts, or fitness classes, and there are outdoor programs as well. If you need help, services are there for transportation, parking, housekeeping, coordination for moving in, laundry and dry cleaning, concierge, and support for families, and staff can help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, with a 24-hour call system and supervision to make sure everyone's safe. Utilities are connected to municipal water and sewer, and each home has central air, heating from both electric and propane, and a fireplace, along with cable TV, high-speed internet, and phone lines. Furnishings come with the rooms if you want them, including private bathrooms and kitchenettes.
Rourk Woods covers about 2,314 square feet per home on average, and is built with solid materials, like brick, fiber cement, and wood frames with slab foundations and shingle roofs. The lots are big and you get an attached two-car garage plus paved off-street parking. Street lights and well-maintained grounds make it easy to get around. You'll be close to the shops and restaurants in Shallotte and not far from schools and the Township Park. The subdivision has a quarterly HOA fee, with the association maintaining grounds and shared facilities. Security features like smoke detectors come standard. Properties in Rourk Woods and sister communities come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and price points, depending on what you need, and you can search for details like days on market, lot size, bedrooms, baths, or find homes, land, commercial space, even boat slips, and properties go through listing companies like CB Sloane Realty. The community sits on the banks of Shallotte River, with all the preserved trees giving it a feeling that's a bit different from other places around, so you get both a nice setting and a full set of practical features without too much fuss.
