Pleasant Hill, also known as Rivenoak and Hawkins House, is a historic plantation house located near Middleburg, Vance County, North Carolina. It was built in 1759 and remodeled in the 1850s in the Greek Revival style. It is a 2+12-story, five-bay, Georgian double pile plan frame dwelling. It has a moderately steep gable roof with dormers and double-shoulder brick chimneys. The original dwelling was probably built by Philemon Hawkins, Jr., and birthplace of Governor William Hawkins (1777-1819).[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
