Architectural Caliber and Price Positioning

Waterstone homes are built to a standard that distinguishes them immediately from conventional Wilmington subdivisions. Buyers find custom and semi-custom construction featuring low-country influenced facades, brick and Hardie exterior detailing, open-concept interiors with coffered ceilings, and chef-grade kitchen appointments. Homes in Waterstone typically list between $550,000 and $950,000, with select larger estates reaching above $1 million depending on lot position and finish level. Floor plans generally range from 2,800 to 5,200 square feet, with generous lot sizes averaging between 0.3 and 0.6 acres. The community was developed primarily in the 2000s and 2010s, giving buyers newer construction with mature landscaping and established streetscapes.

Premier Neighborhoods and Enclaves Within Waterstone

Within the broader Waterstone community, certain streets and sections command consistent premium positioning. Homes along Waterstone Drive and within the Summerhouse section of the development draw particular interest for their larger lots, enhanced privacy buffers, and proximity to community amenities. Buyers who prioritize separation from neighboring homes often focus on the back sections of the community where wooded rear yards create a greater sense of seclusion. Waterstone is part of the Ogden area of northern Wilmington, placing residents within minutes of the Market Street corridor and easy access to I-140.

Lifestyle and Amenities for Discerning Buyers

Waterstone residents enjoy access to community amenities that reflect the neighborhood's upper-tier positioning, including a resort-style pool and clubhouse facilities. The community's location places it roughly 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, one of the most sought-after coastal destinations in the Southeast, and within 10 minutes of Mayfaire Town Center, Wilmington's premier outdoor retail and dining destination. For buyers who value both privacy at home and access to coastal lifestyle, this combination is difficult to match at any comparable price point in the Wilmington market. Airlie Gardens, a landmark coastal estate garden, is a short drive south, adding to the cultural texture of daily life here.

Presenting one of the most significant land opportunities in the Pender County market -- a rare 108 ± acre development portfolio located less than one mile from the heart of Historic Downtown Burgaw. This exceptional offering includes 98± acres of residential land, and a 10± acre tract well positioned for utility access, including sewer, water, power, and natural gas. With access from Stanford Avenue off 117 ( 70 ft Public right of way) ,this portfolio offers the scale, flexibility, and infrastructure necessary for a transformative master-planned development. Situated outside of a flood zone and strategically positioned between Highway 117, HWY 53, and the I-40 corridor, this property represents a truly rare opportunity for a developer with the vision to shape one of Southeastern North Carolina's most compelling mixed-use communities. As the county seat for the 5th largest county in North Carolina ( Pender) and a rich history, Burgaw is well positioned to make an impact on the NC town scene. The recently timbered 98-acre tract provides immediate visibility into the site's topography and development potential. The additional 10-acre parcel along Stanford Avenue, adjacent to an existing apartment community, further strengthens the site's long-term utility and access appeal. With current zoning classifications that includes O&I and R-20, this portfolio will require a thoughtful rezoning and entitlement strategy. However, the scale and positioning of the property make it ideally suited for a high-level mixed-use vision that could include apartments, townhomes, single-family residential, neighborhood retail, office space, recreational amenities, and thoughtfully integrated green space. This is more than just a land offering -- it is an opportunity to create a legacy project for Burgaw. A developer with the right vision could pursue a dynamic public-private partnership that not only unlocks the property's full value, but also contributes meaningful community enhancements such as stormwater and drainage improvements, walkability, and public recreation. Opportunities of this size, location, and long-term potential are increasingly rare. In the right hands, this property has the potential to become one of Burgaw's most impactful future developments -- a signature destination that blends growth, lifestyle, and community just moments from the town's historic downtown core. 108 Acres | Prime Location | Exceptional Mixed-Use Development Potential
