St. James Plantation: A Coastal Carolina Hot-Seller

Five miles west of the historic port town of Southport, N.C., on Highway 211, town and country have marvelously grown together in a paradise of natural beauty and neighborliness.

St. James is known as the Number 1 selling development in the Coastal Carolinas. It's also known for its Intracoastal Waterway, stream and lake views, its four clubhouses and its well-planned golf courses, designed by golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Hale Irwin, P.B. Dye and North Carolina's Tim Cate.

A pleasing community, already incorporated with its own government as well as a property owners association and neighborhoods that work well together, has arisen from this area's first major residential and golf community. 

Throughout St. James, parks and trails offer play areas, recreation such as boating, bicycling, walking and tennis and social festivities for the active adults the community attracts. The golf courses are drawing cards for newcomers and long-term residents, but they are also natural attractions. While Nicklaus, Irwin, Dye and Tate are the neon names on the course designs, it's obvious that Mother Nature is in charge.

The three operating semi-private courses are certified as Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries, a third of all the environmentally-certified courses in North Carolina. And the community offers newcomers a botany course by labeling with signage the various species of indigenous trees, shrubs and vines along St. James Drive.
