Property Description
Experience the best of St. Simons Island living at **197 Rice Mill**, an exceptional residence tucked behind the gates of prestigious Hampton Plantation and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Georgia coast. Set on approximately .43 acres, this impressive 3,856-square-foot home offers a rare combination of privacy, space and resort-style living, with sweeping views across two golf holes and the marsh beyond. Designed for both effortless everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept interior features generous gathering spaces and a beautifully appointed kitchen with multiple seating areas, abundant storage and a walk-in pantry. The thoughtfully designed main level includes the spacious primary suite, an additional bedroom and a dedicated office—providing exceptional flexibility for family and guests. Upstairs, a private bedroom with en-suite bath and bonus living area creates an ideal retreat for guests, children or extended family. A three-car garage and abundant walk-in attic storage add convenience rarely found in an island home. For added comfort and peace of mind, the property is also equipped with a **Generac generator**, an especially valuable feature for coastal living. The outdoor setting is where 197 Rice Mill truly shines. Step from the screened porch into your own private oasis, complete with a heated in-ground pool and spa surrounded by mature landscaping. Beyond the backyard, expansive golf course views stretch toward the marsh, creating a peaceful Lowcountry backdrop and a spectacular setting for morning coffee, afternoon swims and evenings spent entertaining outdoors. Recent improvements provide additional peace of mind, including a new roof, new pool system and new refrigerator in 2025. The property also features a dedicated irrigation well and water softener. Adding to the appeal is the **newly redesigned and renovated King and Prince Golf Course**, now open to membership and offering an exceptional golf experience just moments from home. Whether you're an avid golfer or simply appreciate the beauty and prestige of living along the course, this newly enhanced amenity further elevates the Hampton Plantation lifestyle. And the lifestyle extends beyond the fairways. **Hampton Marina is conveniently accessible through the owners' back gate**, putting boating, fishing and days on the water within easy reach. From golf and boating to poolside afternoons and tranquil marsh views, **197 Rice Mill isn't simply a beautiful home—it's an opportunity to embrace one of the most desirable lifestyles on St. Simons Island.**
