Porters Neck, Wilmington, North Carolina

Funny how the name "Porters Neck" just outside of Wilmington, North Carolina, conjures up different images, thoughts or an area to different people. 

There is the "Porters Neck" area, Porters Neck Road, various small buisnesses ...Porters Neck Hardware, Porters Neck Post Office, Porters Neck Golf Course, and of course the "Porters Neck Plantation and Country Club" 

As a Realtor in this beautiful area of southeastern North Carolina, I have come to appreciate, notice and understand the true life style consumers and homeowners are looking for in this unique community of Porters Neck.  Whether the climate, a job transfer, change of pace, retirement, or the beckoning call of some of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast, Porters Neck Plantation is a wonderous place to call home!

I recently had the pleasure of representing a retiring couple from the Cincinnati, Ohio area in the purchase of their new dream home.  They had reshearched numerous areas, looked at many homes throughout the south, and had thought that this area would be the perfect spot.  A multitude of reasons why they chose Porters Neck and the Wilmington area is....well, it's Porters Neck Plantation.

A little history is in order, Porters Neck Plantation was founded in 1989, and is tucked away in the northern section of New Hanover county in Wilmington, NC, along the Intracoastal Waterway.  It offers it's residents  650 plus acres of lush beauty, soft ocean breezes, thousands upon thousands of wild azaleas bursting with vibrant colors.  AND, and some of the most beautiful homes and home sites in North Carolina, many of which have won numerous medals and awards for their excellence of design and construction.

Many of the residents came for the security of a planned gated community, or the highly rated Tom Fazio designed Par 72 golf course, or the private community boat ramp with access to the Atlantic Ocean, or walking trails with picnic areas, or for the tennis programs, or the exclusive equity membership features Porters Neck offers including sports, dining, golf, and swimming in the larger than life pools.  All sorts of indivualized membership programs are available....pick and choose just what suits your fancy.

Social events abound... you would be hard-pressed to find an activity that did not meet with your life style...that's it!!  Life style!....Want a perfect life style, a mild climate, amenties second to none, and a dream home to appreciate for years to come?  Well then it is all here in Porters Neck Plantation.
