The variety of home styles and sizes means that Porters Neck Plantation can cater to many needs and desires, making its population much more diverse than other golf communities. Luxury remains front and center here, but it’s wrapped in the warmth and hospitality loved by all who visit North Carolina. Families also tend to thrive here thanks to the wonderful nearby schools and plentiful green spaces.
Dining, Shopping, & Entertainment
While Porters Neck Plantation is a mostly residential area — a major appeal for its residents, particularly those who crave peace and quiet — the community is only 20 to 30 minutes from some of Wilmington’s best shopping locations, including the boutique-lined downtown district and the sunny radiance of Lumina Station.
Though dining at the impressive country club is an ever-popular option among residents, Porters Neck Plantation is within easy reach of other incredible epicurean eateries. Hearty plates of immaculate Southern comfort foods have helped establish Cast Iron Kitchen as a frontrunner for appetizing breakfast. At Si! Señor Modern Mex, explosive flavors, and masterful cooking techniques combine to create a menu of colorful food worth seconds (and thirds).
Locally caught and sustainably sourced seafood is a must-try when you’re in this gilded coastal haven, and residents know that the Cape Fear Seafood Company invariably delivers the finest. Their outstanding shrimp and grits, in particular, has won accolades from around the state. Italian and Mediterranean cuisine come to life inside the neighborhood’s favorite Kornerstone Bistro.
Things to Do
Porters Neck Country Club supplies just about everything a resident might need for a satisfactory day of luxury and healthy living, including a wide spectrum of top-notch amenities. Members are frequently drawn to the facility by its four-star championship golf course, which has hosted a number of state competitions.
Avid swimmers can dip into the cooling waters of the club’s several pools, one of which is junior Olympic-sized. Fitness junkies will find the best tech and gear inside the fitness center, which offers group classes and personal training sessions as well as spa treatments. Ready for a game of tennis? Eight lighted courts serve players well throughout the entire year, and the club features opportunities to join leagues or groups for team playing.
