Experience Luxury Living in Leland – Tour Our Open Model Home!

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

You can now experience Hagood’s Harbour Town III in the Bluffs on the Cape Fear in person. Let’s look at what makes this model, and this gated community so popular.

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.

Splendid Spaces Abound!

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

About a 30-minute drive from the Bluffs, Oak Island has miles of white-sand beaches, a nature preserve, fishing piers, and restaurants overlooking Atlantic waters.

Also nearby, is Wrightsville Beach, one of the area’s most popular seaside spots. Here, you’ll find an array of local eateries, walking paths, an expansive park with a playground, and long runs of spectacular sandy beaches.

Welcome to Olde Point! Hampstead’s Waterfront Golf Course Community

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Set along the Intracoastal Waterway, Olde Point has impressive homes – many with magnificent waterfront views – surrounded by majestic oaks and unspoiled nature. Boating enthusiasts love Olde Point’s deep-water access, which offers a scenic cruise past idyllic islands as you wind your way to the Atlantic.

Great Golf at Your Doorstep

Abutting select homes in Olde Point, the semi-private Olde Point Country Club has 18 holes amid lakes, streams, and wooded terrain. It also offers a large outdoor pool, tennis courts, and a restaurant. Membership is optional. Nearby Castle Bay Country Club has a Scottish-links-style 18-hole championship course. For a festive time out on the greens, head over to Hampstead’s Ironclad Golf & Beer Garden, with 18 holes, a driving range, plus food and music in a family-friendly setting.

A Unique Hagood Home in Olde Point

The Woods Cove. The home’s exterior welcomes with an oversized carriage-style garage and a distinctive columned porch with a crushed-shell finish that embodies coastal style.
Step inside to a spacious foyer with ten-foot ceilings, wainscotting, and custom crown moldings. Ready for even more space? The great room has a soaring cathedral ceiling, integrated with a chef’s kitchen featuring a massive nine-and-a-half-foot island. Rich hardwood floors throughout the common areas bring warmth and charm to the expansive split floor plan; the primary and guest suites are on opposite sides of the home.

The first floor also has a cozy office with a wonderful view of tall trees at the home’s rear. A four-season room with floor-to-ceiling windows offers sweeping panoramic views. The second-floor lounge area, with a full bath, serves as the perfect sanctuary. It’s next to a spacious walk-in attic, where you can see the open-cell spray foam insulation that keeps the home cool during even the hottest summers!

Nature is Always Near

Set just back from the Atlantic, Hampstead is a growing, close-knit town firmly rooted in coastal charm stretching back to colonial times. Much of the natural surroundings have remained untouched since the town’s founding in the 1700s. Extensive wooded areas and nature preserves give way to horse ranches and farms all around Hampstead.

Ready to hit the beach? Hampstead is a 20-minute drive from the seaside spots on Topsail Island. Surf City is home to an iconic fishing pier and serves as a launching point for ocean adventures of all kinds. Topsail Beach is a hub for biking, birdwatching, oceanfront restaurants, eclectic shops, and more. All along the 26-mile barrier island, you’ll find golden sands and inviting waters.

For cosmopolitan outings, Downtown Wilmington is about a 25-minute drive from Olde Point. The historic port city is renowned for its shopping, culinary scene, the Wilmington Riverwalk, cultural venues in the Brooklyn Arts District, and so much more.

The Castle Hayne Home that has it all: Cape Lookout Alt II

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

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.

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.

Hagood Homes is Now Building Along the Intracoastal Waterway in Oyster Harbour!

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

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.

Watch the video below to hear what Hannah and Nora have to say about this beautiful community!

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!

Hagood Homes Supports Transitional Housing Efforts in Brunswick County

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Through its nonprofit organization Hagood Hope for Children, Hagood Homes recently donated $15,000 to the Brunswick Partnership for Housing’s Build Hope Campaign initiative, marking a significant step forward in addressing affordable housing challenges in Brunswick County. Funds will not only help retire the mortgage that exists on its Southport transitional housing facility, but it will enable the organization to move forward with its plans for expansion.

The Brunswick Partnership for Housing provides support in three key areas – emergency shelter for families with children, transitional housing for families, and advocacy for workforce housing.

According to Patrick Kennedy, President of Hagood Homes, supporting the transitional housing efforts in Southport was a natural fit for both organizations.

“We have committed our lives to housing. Home is where we live, raise families, and build a life,” said Kennedy. “I can’t imagine not having a home. We’re happy to give back in a way that can give a family a permanent place they can call home.”

Hagood Hope for Children receives a donation of $2,000 from every home the company builds, and according to Kennedy, 90 percent of Hagood homes are built in Brunswick County.

“Our homeowners come to Brunswick County and build a new life here,” he said. “It’s important to us that they are happy here and know they are part of a strong, caring, community.”

The Build Hope campaign, aimed at retiring the mortgage on the Southport facility, is a key initiative for BPH. With a remaining balance of $30,000 at the time of the discussion, Hagood’s contribution has halved this burden, demonstrating a tangible impact on the Partnership’s efforts.

Sally Learned, Executive Director of the Brunswick Partnership for Housing, expressed gratitude for the generosity of Hagood Hope for Children, highlighting how this donation brings the organization closer to its goal of paying off the mortgage for its building. This collaboration reflects the strength of the community and its collective efforts to address housing challenges and support those in need.

About Hagood Hope for Children

In July of 2004, founders Jim and Troy Kenny created a non-profit organization, Hagood Hope For Children. The mission is to help provide basic necessities for life, food, clothing and shelter, for children around the world, while exposing them to the love of our lord Jesus Christ. The Hagood Homes foundation has donated more than $1.6 million over the last 20 years.

The Carousel Center is the recipient of a sustained monthly donation by Hagood Hope for Children. The funds have been used to aid some 500 children who are survivors of neglect and abuse, and their families.
