Located near the historic village of Southport on North Carolina’s southeastern coast, St. James Plantation offers a friendly hometown atmosphere and a carefree coastal lifestyle. This master-planned, gated community of active adults revolves around club life, where sports and leisure pastimes are underscored by nature’s bounty and abundant water.St. James will soon boast 81 holes of golf, with the introduction of The Reserve, a nature-inspired neighborhood showcasing the community’s largest homesites. In addition to peaceful wooded and nature preserve locations, spectacular sites overlook the prestigious new golf course.
At the heart of the new neighborhood, The Reserve Club will offer a magnificent clubhouse and a championship-caliber, 18-hole course by Nicklaus Design, opening in spring 2006. The Nicklaus Design team has planned a coastal parkland-style par-72 layout that promises unique characteristics, intriguing strategy and sensational views.
The Reserve Club will join an exciting collection of challenging, scenic courses designed by P.B. Dye, three-time U.S. Open winner Hale Irwin and North Carolina native Tim Cate. Each course is decidedly different, with its own personality and gracious clubhouse.
Oceanside fun awaits at St. James by the Sea, a private beach club with nostalgic touches such as an old-fashioned gazebo and boardwalk overlooking the beach and Atlantic Ocean.
Situated directly on the Intracoastal Waterway less than one mile from the Atlantic Ocean, The Marina is a full-service harbor offering both wet slips and dry storage facilities. A spectacular amenity for boaters and non-boaters alike, HarborSide will soon become the marina’s new signature landmark. In addition to luxury condominiums and a ship’s store, the enclave will soon feature a casual restaurant and shopping.
Waterway Park, adjacent to the marina, is a nature lover’s delight featuring beautiful flora and fauna, landscaped fitness trails, a pavilion for gathering with friends and family, and fishing and picnic spots.
The Members Athletic Club offers indoor swimming and an expansive fitness room with weights and cardio equipment. There’s also an aerobics studio for group classes such as Pilates or yoga, plus massage, dry sauna and steam facilities. Two tennis centers and an outdoor junior Olympic-sized pool round out the community’s impressive recreational amenities.
Residents of St. James live just minutes from charming Southport, with its galleries, shops and sport fishing. Nearby Wilmington offers an array of dining, shopping and cultural activities, as well as major medical facilities and an international airport.
St. James Plantation’s extensive selection of homesites, single-family homes, condominiums and townhomes range from $100,000 to more than $1 million.
