JUST MINUTES BY GOLF CART TO HISTORIC SOUTHPORT'S CHARMING WATERFRONT! Tucked beneath a magnificent canopy of majestic live oaks on an exceptionally private, nearly one-acre homesite, this enchanting coastal retreat is nestled within Indigo Plantation, one of Southport's most treasured waterfront communities. Created by the same visionary developer behind exclusive Bald Head Island, Indigo Plantation was thoughtfully designed around the preservation of its extraordinary natural beauty, with generously sized homesites, majestic trees, winding paths, and an abundance of green space. Here, nature isn't simply a backdrop; it's a way of life! Adding to the property's remarkable privacy, the rear of the homesite backs directly to a protected nature preserve, creating a peaceful, wooded sanctuary. The fully fenced backyard offers a wonderful retreat for pets, outdoor gatherings, and gardening enthusiasts, complete with raised garden beds ready for your homegrown vegetables, herbs, and colorful flowers! Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and beautiful skylights bathe the open living spaces in natural light, while gorgeous wood floors bring warmth and timeless character throughout. The beautifully appointed kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, generous storage, and a welcoming island that flows effortlessly into the living area, where a stunning stacked-stone gas fireplace creates the perfect gathering place. Just beyond, a spacious screened porch with its own stacked-stone fireplace invites you to linger over morning coffee, listen to the birds, or unwind beside a cozy fire on cool coastal evenings, all surrounded by the serenity of your private wooded setting. The peaceful primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and convenient access to a spacious laundry room with abundant cabinetry, while a beautifully designed walk-in shower adds a touch of everyday luxury. A comfortable guest bedroom and an additional full bath with designer tile finishes provide a welcoming retreat for family and friends. Another wonderful bonus is the spacious detached garage with a versatile multipurpose room above, accessed by its own exterior staircase! Whether you envision an art studio, home office, hobby room, or creative retreat, this additional space offers wonderful flexibility to suit your lifestyle. And then there's the lifestyle! Indigo Plantation offers an exceptional collection of amenities, including a swimming pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, walking trails, dog park, and expansive common areas, all woven into a setting that celebrates the natural environment.
