New NeighborhoodSeaSideOur newest neighborhood, SeaSide, offers a variety of floorplans, including the soon-to-open cottages at Sandy Cove – at a fraction of the cost. Priced from the $225s, SeaSide’s coastal architecture is timeless, inviting and full of curb appeal. Floorplans range from under 1,600 to right around 2,000 square feet. Lawn care and irrigation are entrusted to the association….leaving more time for Y.O.U. And, SeaSide is 5 minutes to the beach, around the corner from The Reserve Club golf course and clubhouse, steps from the SeaSide Club, and a gated entrance is nearby— offering convenient access to Southport.

Woodlands ParkWoodlands Park encourages neighbors to gather outdoors. Homes open to green spaces, walking trails and ponds surrounded by hundreds of acres of Carolina Bays wetlands. A lakeside park and amphitheatre plays host to concerts, plays and lectures. Everything about Woodlands Park was designed to blend seamlessly with the surroundings. The custom models in The Parkview Collection will highlight some of the Plantation’s most talented builders and will open for tours in Spring 2012!

The DeveloperFrom the beginning, St. James Plantation was a labor of love —a vision of Mr. Homer E. Wright, Jr. With what started as a search for the ideal place to retire, Mr. Wright uncovered something much bigger than a personal retreat. Near Southport, NC, he found wooded property that bordered the Intracoastal Waterway and he instantly fell in love. And, with developer, Claude Smith, and business partner, John Atkinson, the three began work on building St. James Plantation.

Through the years, the developers, all native North Carolinians, worked tirelessly to create a place that residents had always dreamed of. Each new neighborhood, amenity and golf course was planned and built to the founders’ exacting standards. In recent years, Wright, Atkinson, and Smith passed on their vision, wisdom and dedication to the next generation, and they have continued the tradition to this day. St. James proudly remains North and South Carolina’s most successful coastal community.
