Arbor Landing at Compass Pointe: A New Option for Senior Living

One of the reasons that Compass Pointe has become such a popular destination is the quality of life it offers. Many people choose to make this gated community home because of its exceptional beauty and its many amenities. The opening of Arbor Landing at Compass Pointe in fall 2021 allows residents and their families to remain in the community, near their friends and neighbors, even as they age or their health care needs change.

Why Buyers Love Our Newest North Carolina Gated Community: RiverSea Plantation

Living near a tidal river has its unique rhythm, one that is in tune with the natural environment and the cadence of the seasons. Situated along Lockwood Folly River, RiverSea Plantation is a North Carolina gated community in a lush natural setting. It offers a range of outdoor amenities, and its location in Bolivia, N.C. is an easy drive to the charming towns of Southport, N.C., Oak Island, N.C. and the beautiful beaches, Holden Beach and Ocean Isle. With the faster paced cities of Wilmington N.C and Myrtle Beach, S.C., are both a short drive outside the gates, about 30 minutes away.

Live Close to Nature

RiverSea Plantation is located on 540 acres with main entrances on Route 211. The Lockwood Folly River is its western boundary, and in between Route 211 and the tidal river are more than 20 ponds. With so much water to enjoy, RiverSea Plantation features boardwalks and walking trails that wind through stands of longleaf pines. 

Within the community, there is a boat ramp and dock on Lockwood Folly River. Other outdoor amenities include tennis and pickleball courts, an outdoor pool, and a community green with a fountain and benches. 

   

When the weather is less than ideal, residents gather at the community’s 2,000-square-foot clubhouse. It features a fitness facility, indoor pool, kitchen, meeting room, and social areas for gathering with neighbors and meeting new friends.

   

In addition to these amenities, residents of RiverSea Plantation can take advantage of an on-site storage area for their big toys, such as boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles. A homeowner association (HOA) ensures that the common areas and grounds are kept in pristine condition.

Homes as Inspiring as their Setting

As a planned community, RiverSea Plantation currently has 579 residential properties. Hagood Homes is proud to be able to bring our design sensibility to this premier community.

We currently have three new construction homes for sale in RiverSea Plantation. Two of these homes are among our most popular designs: Fort Fisher Cove and Pebble Cove. Each of these homes has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a welcoming front porch, and the charming coastal design elements that are hallmarks of all Hagood Homes designs. The third home, the Hewlett Creek, is a newly revised plan originally created for one of Hagood’s exclusive neighborhoods in Wilmington, Southern Oaks. 

These RiverSea Plantation homes have all the standard features that Hagood Homes are known for, that other builders consider extras or upgrades. A few of the standard features in our homes include shiplap, a signature custom drop zone, oversized garages, and energy-conscious features throughout.

Designer of every Hagood Home, Troy Kenny created the Baja Cove to offer a smaller footprint for the Catherine’s Cove community but it is quickly becoming popular outside of Catherine’s Cove as well!

This three bedroom, two and a half bath, two-story superior living environment features the owner’s suite on the first level with walk-in closet and over-sized, zero-entry shower.

A utility hallway, including laundry room and entryway to the garage, connects the owner’s suite to an open and airy living area, complete with a chef’s kitchen, dining room with a wall of windows and a first floor office.

The spacious front porch and screened back porch bring the outdoors in- perfect for entertaining and creating a cheery, happy home!

Upstairs, the Baja Cove features two additional bedrooms, a lounge, a full bath, and walk in attic storage, and as you can see in the photo below, not only the attic storage but the entire home is spray foam insulated! Learn more about this technology here.

    Top 10 Reasons to Relocate in Wilmington

    As a prominent coastal Carolina homebuilder and among the top home builders in Wilmington, NC, we have many clients that that relocate to the coast from all over the country. Whether they come to retire, move their family for a new job, or somewhere in between. According to United Van Line’s 2020 National Migration Study, just released, Wilmington, NC ranks as the top city in the nation for inbound moves this past year. North Carolina as a whole ranks #6.

    The study intrigued us as to what prompted the influx of people. It seems that the pandemic heavily influenced the decision for many, but there were others as well. Using the reasons cited in the study, and some of our own, here are the top 10 reasons we think people choose to live in Wilmington. 

    Jobs

    Those coming to Wilmington in search of new jobs is the number one reason for relocating to the area, making up 37.38% of the inbound migrations. Large institutions and organizations in healthcare, education, finance, energy, research, and pharmaceuticals in the area enticed would-be employees to come south.    

    Family

    Family is the number two reason many chose to relocate to the area in 2020. 27.87% of those surveyed wanted to be closer to family for not only comfort and support but also for financial reasons. 

    Retirement

    23.93% of the inbound migrations were retirees, according to the survey. That is no surprise as many dream of living out their golden years at the beach for the calming ocean air, active seaside communities, and natural beauty that our area has to offer. 

    Lifestyle

    Moving to Wilmington for a lifestyle change may be the most likely reason tied to the pandemic. 15.9% of movers in the study listed Lifestyle for their move. With more people working from home, the flexibility offers the chance for a change of scenery with a slower pace and less densely populated locations.  

    Health

    Health comes in last and fifth place at 3.44% as the reason for moving in 2020. With award-winning healthcare services and teaching hospitals in the area, those who did made the right move. 

    Location

    Centrally located on the east coast, Wilmington is an easy trip up north or down south with its quick access to major interstates and highways and a convenient airport, Wilmington International Airport (ILM), which offers competitive service for business or leisure travel. Just a two-hour drive away, the Research Triangle Park area is home to Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), renowned educational institutions, and cultural centers. 

    Weather

    For those looking to move to a city with milder weather, Wilmington has some of the best year-round weather in the south, with four distinct seasons and a mild fall and winter. 

    Culture

    Wilmington is a cultural hub boasting a spectacular art scene with plenty of galleries and the Cameron Art Museum. The historic Thalian Hall and the Wilson Center offer premier performing arts from local productions to Broadway and national touring concerts and musicals. The annual Cucalorus Film Festival draws crowds from across the country.

    Beaches

    Of course, they come for the beaches. From Wrightsville Beach to Carolina Beach, to a short drive to the Brunswick County and South Carolina beaches, they all offer a place to reconnect with the natural world, whether relaxing, walking, or enjoying outdoor activities. Wilmington is fortunate to be in close proximity to dozens of beautiful beaches.

    Riverfront

    Downtown Wilmington’s award-winning riverfront on the Cape Fear was recognized by USA Today as America’s best riverfront in 2015. It is home to more than 200 shops, restaurants, attractions, and tours, all within easy walking distance.

    Take the Virtual Tour>>

     

    Distinguishing Exterior Features

    The Portsmouth Island is a 2,611-square-foot home with four bedrooms, four full baths and one half-bath. Perhaps the most striking feature of the home is a massive covered front porch that covers more than 270 square feet. Its eight-foot depth makes it perfect for rockers or other oversized furniture. 

       

    The expansive three-car garage features carriage-style doors and a shingled awning for extra coverage. The additional space is a perfect solution for those with a golf cart or extra gear for all the outdoor activities that are popular in the area. 

    Curated Interior Selections

    Throughout the Portsmouth Island, we’ve chosen Hale Navy as an accent color. Select interior doors, the oversized kitchen island and exterior doors and shutters all feature this rich, sophisticated coastal color. 

    We’ve also chosen to include unique styles of doors off the kitchen and living room, such as pocket doors that lead to the front office and a barn-style sliding door that leads to the pantry. 

    One of our favorite features in the kitchen is the inlaid arabesque tile backsplash behind the five-burner gas stovetop in the kitchen. The arabesque tile feature is set against classic white, staggered subway tile.  

    Buyers absolutely love the home’s large sunroom, which is just off the main living area. It features floor-to-ceiling windows, all of which are double pane. This ensures unobstructed views of the outdoors without sacrificing energy efficiency. The room is also fully insulated so it can be used and enjoyed at any time of the year.

    Discover The Pebble Cove, Currently For Sale in Two Hagood Home Communities!

    First introduced in Catherine’s Cove, an exclusive Hagood Home neighborhood in Wilmington, NC, the Pebble Cove plan is quickly becoming a favorite among home buyers. Aligned with the vision of all Hagood homes, this plan is meticulously designed for “efficient & effective use of space” and brimming with high quality products like “James Hardie siding” and spray foam insulation.

    However, the Pebble Cove plan does have some distinct differences that distinguish it from other plans in the Cove Series.

    >>View the Pebble Cove Virtual Tour
    >>View Pebble Cove Flyer

    Spacious Functional Storage

    As you enter the Pebble Cove through the majestic 8 foot front door you’ll notice an oversized closet immediately sets the stage, displaying the first of many ways that Troy Kenny’s designs maximize storage space throughout the home. Wandering over to the right you’ll discover a well appointed laundry room that is one of the largest in the Cove Series. Functionality of this space can be enhanced by adding a laundry sink or a folding table. The Pebble Cove is also unique that the laundry room is separate from the walkway to the garage so the many daily tasks this room tackles is tucked away, keeping the high traffic areas of the home neat and tidy. In addition to these specialty features the Pebble Cove also includes, as every Hagood home does, a massive walk-in attic storage space, a signature drop zone and a closet under the stairs; every  inch of the home designed for functionality.

            

    Modern Farmhouse Features

    Reminiscent farmhouse features make their way into this home. The Pebble Cove is unique to our Cove Series as it features a deep sink below a “wall of windows” in the kitchen facing out to the screened-in porch, backyard and beyond. These three windows and a glass door offer an abundance of natural light in the kitchen creating an atmosphere of serenity as the chef of the home cheerfully prepares meals, plans dinner parties and entertains guests. 

    Other farmhouse features congruent to other Cove Series plans that can be found are shiplap enhancing the foyer, fireplace in the great room and along one side of the oversized island in the kitchen. The 8 foot barn door to the pantry also makes quite a statement!

    Retreat Master

    It’s no surprise that this home has a remarkable master suite since Troy Kenny has the innate ability to design master suites incorporating aesthetically pleasing and functional elements, and simultaneously serve as an efficient use of space thanks to her meticulous attention to detail. 

    A few elements in this part of the home that make this plan shine include the enormous zero-entry, smooth tiled walk in shower, one of the largest of all of our Cove Series plans. A shower this size can easily accommodate a variety of homeowner personalizations, including a bench or a reconfiguration to include a soaking tub if desired. Adding to the flexibility of this space is the closet is uniquely located in the master bedroom  The wall mounted rainhead and built in tiled niche to stow soaps and shampoo elevate Square windows help draw in the natural light.

    New for 2021 – Our Most Robust Set of Included Features Ever!

    At Hagood Homes, we have always strived to build quality and value into every single home we construct. One of the ways we do this is to include a number of upgrades as part of our standard features package. This means our extras don’t end up costing you extra. 

    For 2021, we have revamped our included extras list to be our most robust offering yet! Read below to learn more about some of the exciting changes and benefits that our buyers now enjoy.

    8-Foot Tall Sold Core Doors vs Hallow Core 

    Before 2021, all doors off the main living area in our homes were 8 feet tall versus a standard 6 foot, 8-inch-tall door. Starting this year, we’ll be using 8-foot-tall doors throughout our homes on the first floor. Plus, all bedroom doors are now solid core rather than hollow doors.

    Included Coastal Trim Package 

    The coastal trim package adds elegance to windows, doors and a number of other details. Example of the coastal trim package includes flat panels on the window casing, enlarged window headings and cove crown moldings. Previously these were upgrades that homeowners could add for an additional cost. Starting in 2021, the coastal trim package comes standard.

    Shiplap or Wainscoting in Foyer & Dining Area 

     Now buyers have a choice of shiplap or wainscoting in the foyer and dining areas. Previously, this upgrade was just offered in the foyer only. These enhanced millwork wall coverings offer elegance and class to any space. 

      

    Master Bathroom Zero-Entry Shower 

    A zero-entry shower means that there is no curb at the door or entry of the shower. This is one of our aging-in-place features that buyers love. For 2021, this upgrade that enhances the functionality and livability of a home is now one of our standard included features. 

    Full Overlay Kitchen Cabinets with Soft Close Doors & Drawers 

    Full overlay cabinets mean that the doors and drawers sit flush against each other. The frame behind them is not visible. This gives a kitchen a sleek and modern feel. Prior to 2021, kitchen cabinets had a standard overlay.  Plus, now all cabinets drawers and doors are soft-close. Previously just the drawers were soft-close. 

        

    Expanded Options for Cabinet Stain & Paint 

    Starting in 2021, we are offering 16 paint options and 11 stain options. These expanded offerings give our buyers more customization options at no additional cost. It allows them to create the home of their dreams without any unexpected cost increase. 

    Quartz Countertops in Guest Bathrooms 

    Previously, the standard offering for countertops in the guest bathroom was cultured marble. Our move to quartz countertops in the bathrooms has durability and maintenance benefits for homeowners. Quartz is a harder and stronger stone than cultured marble, thus making it more durable. Quartz countertops also do not scratch as easily and have a greater heat resistance than cultured marble. Because quartz is not as porous as marble, these countertops are not as prone to staining and do not require regular sealing.

    Increased Landscape Budget 

    The standard landscape budget was increased from $11,000 to $12,000. This increased budget enables buyers to include more shrubs and trees in their landscapes or pick out premium plant cultivars that they love. 

    Premiere Carolina Coastal Builder
