Porters Neck Plantation Country Club Sections

The gated sections surrounding the Porters Neck Country Club golf course represent the community's most coveted addresses. Fairway-fronting lots along Porters Neck Road offer direct views of the 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed course, and homes here rarely sit on fewer than half an acre.

These properties command a meaningful premium over comparable inland homes within the same community.
