Landfall: Wilmington’s Premiere Address

In the Wilmington, NC area, just the mere mention of Landfall conjures images of opulence and exclusivity. Indeed, Landfall is to Wilmington what Park Avenue is to New York City. Ideally situated just one mile from Wrightsville Beach, this private, gated golfing community has been considered the area’s premiere residential address since its establishment in 1985. Even Forbes named Landfall one of the "Best Places to Live and Work in America” in 2001.

The Landfall community spans 2,200 acres along the Intracoastal Waterway and Howe’s Creek, boasting million dollar homes with stunning views of both Wrightsville Beach and the natural marshes that comprise 320 acres of conversation land. Other homes are nestled near the Country Club of Landfall and its two championship golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye. Twenty-nine miles of private roads wind around mature trees and immaculate landscaping, complementing an eclectic array of award-winning architecture.

The list of amenities for Landfall residents is endless: three guarded, restricted access gates; 24-hour security patrolling of the private roads; 30 storm water management ponds; sidewalks surrounding the 10-acre Landfall Lake; tennis courts, a fitness facility; an Olympic-sized swimming pool; dedicated hiking trails; and a chapel, just to name a few.

Landfall is one of the only communities of its type on the East coast. Neither a transient community, nor a resort community, most of the property owners live in Landfall year-round, adding to the unique character and ambience of this idyllic private community.
