One of our most popular home designs, the Cape Lookout Alternate, is now home to its new owners! We are thrilled to welcome them into their dream house in Castle Hayne’s lovely Sunset Reach community.

The Cape Lookout Alt II at a Glance

Distinct low country design is on full display, with a prominent front porch, fronted by stately columns, and backed by a bank of tall windows. Inside, the embrace of local design continues with shiplap wainscotting and natural hardwood floors, bringing warmth and charm to the home’s wide-open sense of space. That openness is truly felt in a four-seasons room, where walls of floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto glorious views of nature.

A Private Sanctuary Above

Of the many wonderful features throughout the Cape Lookout Alt II, the second floor is a standout among standouts. It functions as its own luxury apartment! Ascend a wide staircase to pass a full bath, continuing to a light-filled lounge area. Beyond a second pass-through, with closets on both sides, lies a bonus suite — with even more closet space!

But the most raved-about feature lies off the lounge: a covered porch. With a ceiling fan and space for outdoor furniture, this second-story perch is an amazing spot to take in the beautiful views across Sunset Reach.

Life in and Around Sunset Reach

Proximity to so much makes Sunset Reach such an enviable place to live. It’s a ten-minute car (or boat) ride to Downtown Wilmington, a dynamic hub where colonial history meets a cosmopolitan scene with a touch of Southern charm. A drive of about 15 minutes delivers you to some of the state’s most popular beach spots. All around Sunset Reach lie lakes, rivers, and wide expanses of untouched nature.

You may find it hard to tear yourself away from all that entices inside Sunset Reach! A private 12-acre lake is a wonderful place to go kayaking and paddleboarding. Amble along tree-lined walking and biking trails and take in a stunning sunset from the riverwalk. Meet up with members of the community to share a meal at the clubhouse, lounge by the pool, or get in a game of pickleball. Have a boat? The Sunset Reach marina has slips for sale and deepwater access to the Cape Fear River.

Mere words can’t capture all the Cape Fear Lookout Alt II offers. To learn more about building your dream home in Sunset Reach, or another sought after planned community in southeastern, NC, contact a member of the Hagood team here.
