Which beaches will be your favorites?

Among the multitude of reasons folks move to the Carolina coast, one is an undeniable standout: the beaches. Living in East Wynd puts you close to…

  • Topsail Beach. On the southern end of Topsail Island, this pristine stretch of sand meets shimmering waters that welcome swimming and fishing, with a few inviting restaurants just inland. The famed pirate Blackbeard once stomped these shores. You can learn about that and more at the Missiles and More Museum.
  • Wrightsville Beach. This spot is popular with surfers, families, locals, and visitors alike. Fishing piers, oceanfront eateries, a history museum, and more add to the draw.
  • Carolina Beach. An old-school boardwalk with rides and attractions entices visits to this bustling seaside locale. Summer concerts, open-air dining, and lively tiki bars are all part of the Carolina Beach experience.
  • Kure Beach. Your Instagram will thank you for making a trip to this scenic spot, anchored by a historic fishing pier that feels lifted from a postcard. Discover the salt marshes of the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and get up close to marine life at the North Carolina Aquarium.

Summer in NC has us Dreaming of Summerhouse Living

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

It’s no surprise that this idyllic locale embraces its namesake season. Let’s look at what makes Summerhouse so amazing in the summertime and the beautiful Hagood homes you’ll find there.

Created With Summer in Mind

That’s Summerhouse! While the mild winters bring many to southeastern NC, summer is when residents can really embrace resort-style living to its fullest. Your day may begin with a refreshing plunge in the massive pool, easing into a float down its lazy river. Enjoy lunch inside the grand clubhouse or at a shaded poolside pavilion. Stroll lakeside nature trails and walking paths under a glorious summer sky. As the sun sets, get in a game of tennis on illuminated courts.

Ready to get out on the water? You can kayak or paddleboard on one of six private lakes. As nothing says summer fun like a boating excursion, Summerhouse’s location on the Intracoastal Waterway is ideal. Embark from the community docks and boat your way down King’s Creek to the scenic bays of the Atlantic Ocean.

Your Best Beach Life Awaits!

If you live in Summerhouse, the fantastic seaside spots of Topsail Island are practically in your backyard:

  • North Topsail Beach. Uncrowded and family-friendly, this beach is postcard-perfect. The 12-mile stretch of sand is home to the iconic Seaview Pier, a bike and pedestrian path, and a public park with shade pavilions.
  • Surf City. A variety of oceanfront eateries serve coastal cuisine, while an eclectic range of boutiques offer unique shopping experiences.
  • Topsail Beach. On the island’s southern end, Topsail Beach welcomes you with untouched sands, a quaint town center, and the Jolly Roger fishing pier.

There’s Always Something Happening on Topsail Island

Especially in summer! Bring a lawn chair and settle in for an evening of live music at the Topsail Sounds summer concert series, or enjoy a movie during Surf City Movies in the Park. Every Thursday in the summer, the Topsail Beach Craft Market offers one-of-a-kind handicrafts from dozens of local artisans. How about a ladies’ bingo night? If you like shrimp, you’ll love the Sneads Ferry Shrimp Festival. The list goes on and on!

Coming Soon…

Two Pebble Coves are coming soon to Summerhouse – one on Whispering Pines Lane and another on Summerhouse Drive. A contemporary take on traditional farmhouse style, the Pebble Cove plan exudes relaxed elegance with a brick foundation, a chef’s kitchen with a barn-door pantry and a farm-style sink, shiplap details throughout, and so much more!

Magnificence from the Ground Up

From the moment you step on the deep front porch, exquisite details catch your eye. The crushed-shell finish. The carriage lights. The stately columns and the distinctive James Hardie ceiling.

The interior greets you with a two-story foyer, presided over by the balcony of the upstairs lounge, with a dramatic coffered ceiling above. The coffered-ceiling design continues in an open-plan great room with rich, natural hardwood floors.

A chef’s kitchen, filled with natural light, perfectly blends luxury and functionality. In one of Hagood’s most popular configurations, all kitchen components line the outside walls, leaving a central, oversized island in the middle.

The Harbour Town III includes a four-season room with walls of floor-to-ceiling windows with gorgeous views of nature. The primary suite has a stunning ensuite with a long dual vanity, twin backlit mirrors, and a frameless glass zero-entry shower. On the second floor, a covered deck invites you to relax and enjoy the view.

Down below, an oversized two-car garage has a handy golf cart door. Residents of the Bluffs revel in cruising through the wide-open neighborhood on golf carts, visiting friends, stopping for refreshments at the clubhouse, and parking to laze away sunny days at a massive lakefront pool.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

With mild winters and balmy summers, the coastal Carolinas have some of America’s most desirable weather. Making it the perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities, of which there are plenty at The Bluffs!

Over 600 acres are available for roaming. Around 25% of the community is protected green space, with nature trails winding through tall, mature trees and flowering shrubs. A private fishing lake, with a launch for paddle boats and kayaks, is stocked with bass and bream.

Boating enthusiasts love the private marina and boat launch alongside a waterfront park with shade pavilions. A 25-minute boat ride down the Cape Fear River delivers you to historic Downtown Wilmington!

Your Beach Escapes Await!

One of the many perks community members can enjoy while living in The Bluffs is the access to a private beach club on Oak Island. Set just back from the beach, this well-appointed club has a full kitchen, spacious dining areas, and modern shower facilities. Settle into a rocker on the covered deck and enjoy sweeping oceanfront views.

The Bluffs on the Cape Fear private beach club

Hagood Homes Visits Carousel Child Advocacy Center

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Hagood Homes is no stranger to the communities of the Lower Cape Fear. With the work done through our nonprofit organization Hagood Hope for Children, we have been privileged to become acquainted with a number of organizations that have truly benefited the region. One recent afternoon, we were invited to join the team of the Carousel Child Advocacy Center in Wilmington, an agency long supported by Hagood Homes.

Members of the team got a closer look at the facility and met members of the staff, who gave an in-depth view of the work done on behalf of those it serves.

The Carousel Child Advocacy Center is called to aid child survivors of abuse and neglect, and their families, whether it is through victim support, medical services and forensic interviews, therapeutic services, case management, or a host of other activities that ensure that children who are survivors of abuse can heal, recover, thrive, and shine.

And most of all, Carousel Center professionals are advocates when children of abuse don’t have a voice of their own.

Because great homes belong in great neighborhoods, Hagood is building in Oyster Harbour. Let’s look at what makes this waterfront community in Supply, NC so desirable, as well as the Hagood homes you’ll find there.

Welcome to the Intracoastal Waterway

As you probably know from its name, this stretch of shimmering water takes you to the coast and can deliver you by boat to amazing seaside spots, including Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach, in mere minutes. It’s a scenic trip, winding through the idyllic South Brunswick Islands on your way to the Atlantic.

Life inside Oyster Harbour is equally impressive! Set on 400 acres amid mature oaks, magnolias, and holly trees, the gated community offers resort-style living at its finest.

   

Residents enjoy access to a large outdoor pool, a clubhouse with an owners’ lounge, a fitness center, and tennis and pickleball courts. Take in marshes, woodlands, lakes, and ponds along exclusive nature trails, with respites at lakefront gazebos. Boating enthusiasts love the community boat ramp and riverfront pier.

Hagood Homes in Oyster Harbour

The Cape Lookout

Recently awarded the Silver Award at the 2024 Wilmington Area Home Builders Association Parade of Homes, the Cape Lookout also took top honors in the Best Kitchen and Best Master Bath in its price range.

There are many reasons the Cape Lookout is our most popular floor plan! Some include a dedicated study off the main entrance and a large screened-in porch. A chef’s kitchen integrates with a great room featuring a twelve-foot-high ceiling, flowing to an ample dining space in an open-plan design.

The primary suite is a light-filled sanctuary with a sweeping bay window under a high-volume ceiling. The spaciousness continues with a dual-vanity ensuite with a zero-entry shower and the walk-in closet of your dreams!

The second story acts like an independent apartment, perfect for guests. A large lounge, a cozy guest suite, and a full bath create a separate sanctuary within the home.

The Harbour Side

Aptly named to reside in Oyster Harbour, the Harbour Side plan was a Diamond Award winner at the 2021 Wilmington Parade of Homes. Why the accolade? The cathedral ceiling in a spacious great room grabs attention. As does a four-seasons room with walls of windows and space for both dining and seating areas. How about a chef’s kitchen with an oversized island and a farmhouse sink under a pair of windows? Not to mention the gorgeous hardwood floors, custom millwork throughout, and many other design details that capture your eye.

Like the Cape Lookout, the Harbour Side’s second floor is a haven with a lounge and a full bath. Plus, there is tons of storage space in a massive walk-in attic!
