Property Description

Welcome to a life beautifully lived in the heart of St. James Plantation.

3859 Fairhaven Drive — known as Southern Ways — is a Jack Satterwhite design originally showcased in the 2018 Parade of Homes. Offering over 3,000 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, this home blends timeless sophistication with effortless coastal comfort.

Designed for both gracious entertaining and quiet retreat, the gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops and island, Bosch appliances, a Thermador gas cooktop, and a generous walk-in pantry. It opens seamlessly to a warm, fireplace-centered great room and elegant dining space — perfect for hosting friends, holidays, or intimate evenings at home.

Multiple porches, including two screened retreats, invite morning coffee, afternoon reading, and relaxed evenings surrounded by coastal breezes.

The first-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering privacy, a spa-inspired bath with oversized walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet thoughtfully positioned near the laundry for everyday ease.

Upstairs, a versatile lounge and private guest suite with screened porch create a welcoming haven for visiting family and friends — or a peaceful space of your own.

Set on a beautifully landscaped nearly half-acre lot adorned with mature hollies and vibrant crepe myrtles, the setting feels both private and refined.

Life in St. James Plantation offers more than amenities — it offers connection. Enjoy a private oceanfront beach club, four championship golf courses, a full-service marina, tennis and pickleball, a wellness center, and over 100 clubs and social opportunities. Just minutes away, Southport’s charming waterfront and nearby beaches provide the perfect backdrop for a vibrant, active lifestyle.

Whether you’re seeking a luxurious primary residence or an elegant coastal retreat, this home offers comfort, beauty, and the freedom to enjoy the next chapter exactly as you envision it.
