Why Are Southport And St James Plantation So Popular

By Jennifer Burns


If you're in the process of retiring and have plans to relocate, you need to consider the coastal Carolinas. This area of the country has breathtaking scenery and has been the favored spot for second homes of some of the most influential families in the United States. If you're interested in living in a place that has a strong sense of communal living, plenty of social opportunities and outdoor activities, you won't have to look much farther than St James Plantation.

This community was the brainchild of Homer Wright and his partners. Today it is home to nearly five thousand residents and encompasses six thousand coastal acres. The incorporated town has its own mayor, fire department, and emergency responders. A vigorous property owners association assures that the community remains vital and thriving. Management is still a family affair with the second generation maintaining an active interest in the integrity of their parents' vision.

The community's hometown is Southport. It has the amenities you expect to find in a much larger city, but embraces a small town feel. If you're looking for quaint shops, eclectic art galleries, and the freshest of seafood, this is where you will find it. You might stroll down the streets lined with colossal live oaks and grand antebellum homes. The stunning architecture gives visitors the feel of standing on a movie set.

If you love to golf, you will be happy to learn that the plantation is home to a quartet of championship courses. They were designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Tim Cate, P. B. Dye, and Hale Irwin. Because the climate is so mild, you may be able to enjoy a day on a course all year round. There are golf pros, driving ranges, practice greens, and tournaments and clinics going on all year long. You won't have to decide which course you prefer. You'll have access to all of them with just one membership.

If golfing doesn't interest you, no problem. There are state of the art tennis courts with plenty of partners ready to join you. The fitness centers have full time instructors to assist you. There are indoor and outdoor pools, and walking, biking, and kayaking clubs.

A full service marina is located on the Intracoastal Waterway. It provides safe harbor whenever storms hit the east coast. After spending a day on the water you could decide to stay at the marina and dine alfresco before walking over to the artisans gallery to check out the art.

You will a number of choices when it comes to your residence. You can opt for a low maintenance cottage or a town home with an open floor plan. You might pick a home with water views or one on the golf course.

If you want to be close to the new wellness that boasts an amazing pool complex, you have the opportunity to do that. You can build from the ground up on a wooded lot that has water views or nature areas. You must schedule a visit in order to fully appreciate all St. James has to offer.
