Thoughtfully planned around the lush landscape of a pristine forest, this 4,500-acre retreat is just minutes from historic downtown Wilmington, but in many ways is a world away.
The development team surrounding Brunswick Forest is a refreshing mix of Wilmington natives and the resources of Lord Baltimore Capital Corporation, a nearly two-billion-dollar private investment organization that traces its roots to one of the country's founding oil companies.
The location is inspired. Just a short drive away on Hwy. 17, Wilmington offers eclectic shopping, a vibrant nightlife, rich cultural amenities and a wide array of outdoor recreation, including miles of unspoiled beaches. But then again, you may have trouble ever leaving the community.
Verdant woodlands, slow-moving creeks and rolling meadows serve as a dramatic backdrop for 27 holes of Cape Fear National world-class golf, river and beach clubs, a community garden, a wellness/fitness center, parks, preserves, gracious residences, a commercial village and miles of walking and biking trails. With so much to see and do, you could easily get lost in the Forest.
Size Matters: At 4,500 acres, Brunswick Forest can provide just about any amenity you might need.
Keep Your Cool: No "brrrrs" in March; the average high temp is 66 degrees.
That Secure Feeling: A 24-hour security patrol ensures your privacy and comfort.
Take a Swing at Happiness: Destined to be one of the area's most notable golf courses, Cape Fear National offers 27 holes of world-class golf in a setting that includes magnificent forests of mature oaks, maples, pines and magnolias. Renowned designer Tim Cate conceived a layout that winds through heavily undulating land and seeps past breathtaking expanses. Visually strong with abundant water features, each of the holes is laid out to dazzle the eye and challenge golfers at every level. The clubhouse will be equally impressive, with banquet and meeting rooms for golf and social activities, a pro shop, locker rooms and a 19th-hole bar and grille. The course will open with 18 holes in spring 2009.
Watering Holes: At The River Club, the water beckons residents to fish, paddle and picnic along picturesque Town Creek. Known for its abundance of wildlife, aquatic vegetation and virgin forests, this tidal-influenced tributary meets up with the Cape Fear River and Intracoastal Waterway, winding its way to the Atlantic. Meanwhile, just minutes away from Brunswick Forest, right on an Atlantic beach, is the Ocean Club, the perfect location for swimming, sunbathing, jogging and quiet moments enjoying a cool breeze on an open air deck. Facilities for cookouts and picnics enhance enjoyment.
