River Hills, a private, gated plantation and country club community on Lake Wylie, SC was developed in the early 1980's. The developer, the same one who developed Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island, detailed the preservation of the land and trees at River Hills. The master planned community developed into a beautifully maintained lake front community which boasts lake vistas, mature trees and large, densely wooded lots.
