This beautiful .30-acre marshfront homesite offers an incredible view and a rare combination of privacy, space, and access to an amazing neighborhood lifestyle. The lot is partially cleared and tucked alongside a drainage easement, providing additional open space and separation from the neighboring homesite. This offers an added sense of privacy and breathing room that is especially appealing in a coastal community. Across the street, a landscaped community common area with bench seating provides an attractive open space directly across from the homesite. Even better, this homesite is just around the corner from the community pool and clubhouse. The main amenity area is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a resort-style swimming pool and beautifully appointed clubhouse with a pool table, fitness room, indoor and outdoor bars, dining and gathering spaces, and inviting outdoor areas for enjoying the coastal lifestyle.

Life on the Cape Fear starts the moment the gate opens. Preservation Point is one of southeastern North Carolina's rare gated river communities -- and the lifestyle is the whole point. Spend your morning on the water from the community marina, where boat slips are available for separate purchase, your afternoon at the resort-style pool and clubhouse, and your evening on the community's private island, tucked along the Northeast Cape Fear River. This is coastal living the way it's supposed to feel. The home lives up to the setting. A 2025 Parade of Homes winner, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath, 2975 sq ft residence sits on a quiet cul-de-sac court and earns every bit of its award. Inside, French oak floors run underfoot, Vermont marble countertops anchor a kitchen outfitted with professional-grade Thermador appliances and custom cabinetry, and a linear gas fireplace grounds the living space. Specialty trim and moldings, solid-core doors, and a striking ambrosia maple ceiling in the study reveal the level of craftsmanship throughout -- while spray foam insulation, a multi-zoned high-efficiency HVAC system, a tankless water heater, and Andersen windows mean the home is built as beautifully as it shows. Then there's the location, which is almost unfair: minutes to the restaurants, galleries, and riverwalk of Historic Downtown Wilmington, and roughly 15 minutes to the sand at Wrightsville Beach. River in the morning, city at night, ocean on the weekend -- all from one address. Award-winning construction, resort amenities, and a location this connected rarely meet at one address on the Cape Fear. Come experience Preservation Point for yourself.
