What Makes Southport And St James Plantation So Great

By Jennifer Burns


If you are a retiree looking at relocating, you need to take a close look at the coastal Carolinas. This region has some of the most breathtaking scenery in the whole country. It has long been a favorite spot of some of America's most influential families. If you want to live in a place where there is a strong sense of community and plenty of outdoor activities and social opportunities, you don't have to look any further than St James Plantation.

Today about five thousand residents call the 6,000 coastal acres home. The town is incorporated and has a mayor, a fire department, and its own emergency first responders. The property owners association is vigorous and intent on maintaining a vibrant and thriving community. The management continues to be a family affair with the originator's children maintaining an active interest in the vision their parents had for this town.

Southport is the community's hometown. It has a small town feel with all the amenities of a much larger city. This is the place to go if you are looking for eclectic art galleries, quaint shops, and the freshest seafood. You can stroll down streets that are lined with massive live oaks and gorgeous antebellum homes. The architecture is stunning and gives the feeling of being in the middle of a movie set.

If golf is an interest of yours, you'll be delighted to learn that St. James Plantation is the home of four championship courses. They were designed by no less than Jack Nicklaus, P. B. Dye, Hale Irwin, and Tim Cate. Because the climate is so temperate, these courses are playable no matter the time of the year. You can take advantage of golf pros, driving ranges, practice greens, and the clinics and tournaments planned throughout the year. A single membership provides access to all four courses.

Golf is just one of the activities available at St. James. The tennis players will find state of the art courts and plenty of partners to play with. There are full time instructors at the fitness centers as well as outdoor and indoor pools. You can join a biking, kayaking, or walking club if you like.

The full service marina is located right on the Intracoastal Waterway. That makes it a safe harbor in the event storms hit the Atlantic. You can enjoy a meal and drinks alfresco after a day on the water if that is your pleasure. You can also enjoy the artisans gallery located at the marina.

You have choices when it comes to the type of home you want. There are open floor plan and low maintenance cottages. You can choose a golf course home or one with a water view.

If you want to be close to the new wellness that boasts an amazing pool complex, you have the opportunity to do that. You can build from the ground up on a wooded lot that has water views or nature areas. You must schedule a visit in order to fully appreciate all St. James has to offer.
