The final stop in our “How We’d Tour It” series takes us through one of the Cape Fear region’s most scenic stretches, from Leland to Castle Hayne 🌿🌊

This route is a fitting sendoff: a drive that feels quieter, more open, and deeply rooted in the landscape that makes this area so special. Along the way, you’ll find homes that pair thoughtful design with the kind of relaxed coastal setting that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile.

The Homes:
🏡 “Bar Harbour I” by Kent Homes | The Bluffs on the Cape Fear
🏡 “Harbour Side Canted” by Hagood Homes | The Bluffs on the Cape Fear
🏡 “Palmetto A” by D.R. Horton Wilmington | Coastal Haven
🏡 “Magnolia” by Wallace Custom Homes | River Bluffs
🏡 “Oakboro” by Michael Christian Homes | River Bluffs
🏡 “Heron Cove” by Hagood Homes | Sunset Reach
🏡 “The Beckett” by Bill Clark Homes | Riverside Cove
🏡 “The Porter” by Bostic Building Corporation | Blue Clay Townes

Eight homes. Eight unique expressions of coastal living. One final route to close out the series.

Make a day of it, take the scenic way, and enjoy this last chance to tour like a local. Today and tomorrow are your FINAL CHANCES to explore! Save it, share it, and don’t miss the finish line 🚗🌿
