Property Description

A truly rare offering: 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—fish moving through the waterways, resident waterfowl and migratory birds gliding overhead, neotropical songbirds filling the air with music, and native wildlife such as wild turkey and otters sharing the protected wetlands and forests. Here, nature is not a backdrop but a living companion.

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, restorative 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 and draws the outdoors in. Expansive windows and private vantage points invite you to fully experience the breathtaking natural scenery from every angle.

Protected by conservation and historic preservation, this extraordinary property ensures the lasting beauty of its landscape for generations to come. Despite its seclusion, downtown Wilmington, beaches, shopping, dining, entertainment, and the arts are all just minutes away. This harmonious blend of convenience and untouched natural beauty is exceptionally rare—an opportunity that may truly be once in a lifetime. 🌿
