About this home

A truly rare offering, this property allows you to live just minutes from Historic Downtown Wilmington while being completely immersed in your own private 291-acre conservation preserve along the Cape Fear River. This remarkable sanctuary offers sweeping, ever-changing views of the river and its winding tributaries, creating a daily connection to the rhythms of nature. Wake to the sights and sounds of a thriving ecosystem, where fish move through the waterways, waterfowl and migratory birds glide overhead, and native wildlife like wild turkeys and otters share the protected wetlands and forests. Nestled among mature hardwoods and native plant life, the elevated two-level home is thoughtfully designed to blend into its surroundings. This environmentally conscious residence offers a peaceful lifestyle, featuring energy-efficient building materials, a rainwater collection system, solar/photovoltaic power, and other eco-friendly innovations that honor the land. The 2,335-square-foot open floor plan provides flexible living and working spaces bathed in natural light that highlights the home's architectural details. Expansive windows and private vantage points invite you to fully experience the breathtaking natural scenery from every angle. Protected by conservation easements, this extraordinary property ensures the lasting beauty of its landscape for generations to come. Despite its absolute seclusion, downtown Wilmington, local beaches, shopping, dining, and the arts are all just minutes away.
