8660 River Road, Wilmington

A natural beauty set among established oaks high above a broad stretch of the Cape Fear River, this gated 7.8-acre estate offers exceptional privacy, sweeping water views, and 330 feet of river frontage. A winding drive leads to a Lowcountry inspired home where walls of windows and approximately 3,200 square feet of porches and decks connect gracious living spaces with the surrounding landscape. Waterfront great room, dining room with walk-in wine cellar and spacious chef's kitchen welcome gatherings, while the river-view primary suite provides a peaceful retreat. Three impressive bedroom suites feature private porches and numerous upgrades. An elevator serves all three levels and generators ensure year-round comfort. At the water's edge, a 200-foot private dock with two boat lifts (12,000 and 18,000 pounds) and a gazebo invites time on the river. Additional living flexibility is provided from the detached 1,135 SF guest house featuring a private screened porch and generator. From quiet mornings beneath the oaks to sunsets over the water, this is a place to settle in and savor the wonder.
