Porters Neck
Plantation |
||||
|
On land that was once the site of a historic
peanut plantation, Porters Neck Plantation is situated on 650 acres of
pristine coastal land adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. This private,
country club community offers an appealing blend of friendly, old-fashioned
neighborhoods and thoroughly modern amenities. Borrowing from the Low
Country sense of tradition and history, there is a handsome
eighteenth-century, Federal-style clubhouse, a sports center and a
championship 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Fazio that was ranked
number one on the North Carolina coast by Golf Digest. Beautifully
landscaped and manicured streets are lined with elegant custom-built homes.
Homeowners can select a site with views of the fairways, lakes or marsh and
choose from award-winning home designs. Home styles range from traditional
Colonial to European-inspired designs, including custom homes, patio homes
and townhomes. Porters Neck is north of Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach
just off U.S. Highway 17. For more information and a video tour go to the
