704 River Island Court

River Island like New and HOT, HOT, HOT!!
Welcome to 5143 square feet of pure craftsmanship, designed for both elegance and everyday comfort. Built in October 2023 by Rob Lacher of Lacher Construction with plans by Megan Carranza of Gooj Design, this custom masterpiece blends timeless Southern charm with thoughtful modern features all in one of Evans' most prestigious neighborhoods.
From the moment you arrive, the light, bright, and airy feel sets the tone.
Step into a grand foyer where a beautifully proportioned home office offers a sophisticated space to work or create. The downstairs retreat doubles as a private guest suite with bedroom, full bath, and an incredible heated-and-cooled swim spa room with sliding glass doors to the patio and backyard. The great room stuns with custom built-ins, a striking fireplace, and soaring coffered ceilings, flowing seamlessly into the chef's kitchen—a dream for entertainers with like-new, top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances, a commercial-style gas range, vented hood, warming drawer, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. An oversized walk-in pantry with custom shelving keeps everything at hand, while the laundry room with dog shower, mudroom, and 3-car garage offer practical luxury.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary—complete with its own fireplace, custom built-ins, and a cozy sitting area. The spa-inspired ensuite features an expansive double vanity, serene soaking tub, generous tile shower, and a massive walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms, each with a private bath, complete this floor.
The top floor is all about fun—a media and game room ready for movie marathons or game nights. The projector, six like-new theater chairs, and arcade machines, stay, along with unique tech and special lighting that highlights the interchangeable movie posters.
One of the few River Island homes backing to private woods with no rear neighbors visible, the backyard offers a large grassy area perfect for play. The covered back porch is plumbed and wired for an outdoor kitchen, with built-in custom yard speakers creating the perfect ambiance.
They spared no expense—this is truly better than new, priced below the investment made. With incredible Masters rental potential, it's an opportunity to own not just a home, but a lifestyle in one of Columbia County's most sought-after communities.
