Residents Weigh In On What Makes St James Plantation So Special

By Jennifer Burns


If you are a retired senior planning a move to somewhere new, you should consider the coastal Carolinas. This area is one of the most breathtaking in the country. If you're looking for someplace with a strong community sense, opportunities to socialize, and lots of outdoor activities, you should take a serious look at St James Plantation.

Today about five thousand residents call the 6,000 coastal acres home. The town is incorporated and has a mayor, a fire department, and its own emergency first responders. The property owners association is vigorous and intent on maintaining a vibrant and thriving community. The management continues to be a family affair with the originator's children maintaining an active interest in the vision their parents had for this town.

Southport is the community's hometown. It has a small town feel with all the amenities of a much larger city. This is the place to go if you are looking for eclectic art galleries, quaint shops, and the freshest seafood. You can stroll down streets that are lined with massive live oaks and gorgeous antebellum homes. The architecture is stunning and gives the feeling of being in the middle of a movie set.

If golf is an interest of yours, you'll be delighted to learn that St. James Plantation is the home of four championship courses. They were designed by no less than Jack Nicklaus, P. B. Dye, Hale Irwin, and Tim Cate. Because the climate is so temperate, these courses are playable no matter the time of the year. You can take advantage of golf pros, driving ranges, practice greens, and the clinics and tournaments planned throughout the year. A single membership provides access to all four courses.

Golf is just one of the activities available at St. James. The tennis players will find state of the art courts and plenty of partners to play with. There are full time instructors at the fitness centers as well as outdoor and indoor pools. You can join a biking, kayaking, or walking club if you like.

The full service marina is located right on the Intracoastal Waterway. That makes it a safe harbor in the event storms hit the Atlantic. You can enjoy a meal and drinks alfresco after a day on the water if that is your pleasure. You can also enjoy the artisans gallery located at the marina.

You have choices when it comes to the type of home you want. There are open floor plan and low maintenance cottages. You can choose a golf course home or one with a water view.

Those who want to be an easy walk to the pool complex and the new wellness center can do that. You could also build a home to your own specifications. There are wooded lots available with water views and nature areas. You will have to visit in order to see for yourself what this community has to offer.
