This expansive subdivision in Brunswick County has 730 properties, about a 20-minute drive west of Wilmington, NC. Home sizes range from 1,782 to over 3,500 square feet, and lots average 0.4 acres. The Bluffs on the Cape Fear boasts an impressive array of amenities, short of a golf course, of which there is no shortage in the area. The amenities are listed below and include private beach access on Oak Island near Southport. The boating facilities are top-notch. The docks are floating on metal piles. The decks are comfortably wide. Slips are double, with full finger angles into the river current to aid docking. Utility pedestals serve every two slips. Two sets of docks include a ramp and a covered pavilion at the easternmost dock.
Wilmington is approximately 14 miles away by boat. Southport is another 23 miles south down the Cape Fear River. Snows Cut is another 13 miles south of Wilmington, with Carolina Beach and its inlet to the Atlantic another mile south. North of the inlet is Masonboro Island, a 7-mile-long barrier island. The Wrightsville Beach Bridge is another 13 miles north along the intracoastal waterway. You can get to Wrightsville Beach in a couple of hours, but bear in mind the Cape Fear River is tidal in that area, and currents can be strong. If the current is against you, it can be very slow going.
