Premier Neighborhoods and Enclaves

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. The privacy afforded by the club's controlled access creates a distinct residential character that serious luxury buyers recognize immediately.

Headwater Cove and Waterfront Lots

For buyers prioritizing water access, the waterfront enclaves within Porters Neck Plantation front tidal creeks and the Intracoastal Waterway. Headwater Cove is among the most sought-after streets, where deep-water lots allow private docking and direct boating access to the Atlantic via Masonboro Inlet. These properties command a meaningful premium over comparable inland homes within the same community.

Lifestyle and Amenities

Day-to-day life in Porters Neck Plantation centers on the country club, which offers golf, tennis, a fitness center, and dining within a private membership setting. Residents are approximately 15 minutes by car from Mayfaire Town Center, which supplies high-end retail and dining options, and roughly 20 minutes from historic downtown Wilmington. Wrightsville Beach sits within a 20-minute drive, making ocean access a routine convenience rather than an occasion. The community falls within the Laney High School district, part of New Hanover County Schools, which consistently draws positive attention from relocating families.

Rare opportunity to own a brand-new, custom-crafted sound-front home in one of North Topsail Beach's most coveted communities -- Crystal Shores. 411 New River Inlet Road puts you at the intersection of everything Topsail Island has to offer: the Intracoastal Waterway at your back door, the Atlantic Ocean a short walk away, and a private community that gives you access to both. Currently under construction by Ballast Point Building Company, Inc., this 3,215 sq ft coastal home is built to a no-compromise specification on a generous .65-acre soundfront lot. The property features an existing pier with a CAMA permit in place for a boat lift and a second slip.

Water and sewer service through ONWASA. This striking four-story design rises confidently on wrapped pilings, crowned by a cupola with 360-degree panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the ICW, and the sound simultaneously. Multi-level Trex composite decking wraps front and rear. Fiber cement board siding, a custom wood handrail system, and an Architectural Certified Landmark Pro shingle roof complete the exterior. An elevator reaches the main living areas for effortless access across all levels. Inside, 9-foot ceilings and LVP flooring set an open, airy tone throughout. The chef's kitchen anchors the main living level with WayPoint semi-custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers, solid surface countertops, a Z-LINE dual-fuel range with LP gas cooktop, full stainless Z-LINE appliance package, and an apron-front farm sink. Crown molding flows through all common areas and every bedroom. Red oak stair treads and 8-foot interior doors bring warmth and craftsmanship to every floor. The spacious master suite features a walk-in closet and a spa-caliber bath with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, furniture-piece vanity, and Delta fixtures. All secondary baths are finished to the same standard -- full tile showers, recessed lighting, and Kohler comfort-height commodes throughout. Open-cell spray foam insulation in the cupola, ground level, and band joists, plus R-15 batt insulation on the 1st and 2nd levels and soundproofing batt around the master suite. LP gas tankless water heater and WiFi smart thermostats keep the home efficient year-round. The electrical package includes an EV outlet, centrally located On-Q structured wiring panel, and TV rough-in locations in all bedrooms and living areas. Full landscape package, irrigation system, and a large rear yard ready for a future pool. Electrical already run to the pier for future expansion. 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath.
