Perfecting the Coastal Carolina Lifestyle

Ocean Ridge Showcases a Home by Mark Saunders

The Nelson home is a premier home within the award winning golf community of Ocean Ridge Plantation. Its Chesapeake pearl brick exterior with perfectly proportioned columns completes the classic southern country club design. The master craftsmen at Mark Saunders Luxury Homes wrapped the entire 3200 square foot interior with meticulously detailed millwork and trim, and concluded with exceptional Brazilian cherry hardwood floors throughout. The chef’s kitchen includes luxury appliances, furniture grade cabinets and granite countertops. This spacious dream home includes 3 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, a study, a stunning formal dining room and a bonus room. The rear of the home is positioned to take full advantage of a panoramic view of the locally famous Tiger’s Eye golf course; it features a stamped concrete patio with an outdoor kitchen area and fireplace.

So far this is one of our favorite homes by builder and developer Mark Saunders in the Brunswick County area of North Carolina.

Leopard’s Chase Golf Club #18 at Ocean Ridge Plantation

Duramed Future’s Tour player Lauren Hunt and “Endless Golf” host Bobby Vermillion play the stunning 18th hole at Leopard’s Chase Golf Club during the filming of an episode of Endless Golf for Comcast TV at Ocean Ridge. Watch this video to hear them review the course and play the 18th hole. Listen closely and you can hear the rushing of the 1300 gallons of water per minute that flow over the waterfall in front of the green.

Ocean Ridge Plantation is home of the award-winning Big Cats golf courses – Lion’s Paw, Panther’s Run, Tiger’s Eye and Leopard’s Chase. Since opening in 2006,  Leopard’s Chase has received stellar reviews and has set a new standard of excellence in the coastal Carolinas by being ranked #10 by Golf Digest as the “Best New Public Golf Course in America,” placing the course at #1 in the Carolinas for 2007. It has remained a perennial favorite and just a few months ago GOLF Magazine released their annual rankings of public courses with Leopard’s Chase (and Tiger’s Eye) finishing in the top ten for North Carolina.

Visit the Ocean Ridge website for more information about this award-winning golf and beach community, or send us an email to request a portfolio on the Ocean Ridge golf community.

Fall is for Festivals – Part 2

As noted in a recent post about River Fest in Wilmington, Pleasure Island Seafood, Blues & Jazz Festival in Kure Beach, and the North Carolina Oyster Festival on Ocean Isle Beach, the Fall Season here in southeastern North Carolina is filled with festivals.

This weekend is Holden Beach’s Festival by the Sea, the largest festival in the South Brunswick Islands. Activities include live music, arts/crafts/food vendors, parade, horseshoe and sandcastle building contests, face painting, and the Charlotte Kite Club flying kites.  After the parade on Saturday, hundreds of people will walk across the Holden Beach Bridge (this is the only day of the year you can walk the bridge) to enjoy the vendors and other activities.  Schedule of events here.
