Real Estate Scorecard Announces Helms Port in Wilmington - Winner of 2017 Bliss Award for Best North Carolina Community of the Year
Wilmington, North Carolina (PRWEB) January 19, 2017 -- Another one of Real Estate Scorecard's discoveries a couple years ago, was the charming waterfront community of Helms Port breaking ground in Wilmington North Carolina. This seaside gem is located across from the barrier islands and is home to a protected deepwater marina on the Intracoastal Waterway. Less than five miles from the Carolina Beach Inlet, the gated community was quickly sought out by boating enthusiasts and fishermen who appreciate waterfront living.
Things that make Helms Port extra special, its proximity to Masonboro Island Estuarine Reserve. The quarter mile island is accessible only by boat and is a protected nesting ground for loggerhead and green turtles. It’s also a natural nursery for saltwater fish. Locals love surf fishing on the uncrowded island. Grab a kayak, a stand up paddle board or boat and step into what feels like a private state park, in one's backyard.
Helms Port is located directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, between Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. Many of the new homes in Wilmington NC at Helms Port have stunning unobstructed views of Masonboro Island and the sound. Logan Home builders is the community's developer, who built an elegant 3,500 square foot coastal clubhouse overlooking a 75 slip deepwater marina and modern resort-style swimming pool in the amenity package. The marina can accommodate boats up to 44 feet in length and boat slips may be available for sale. Boaters surely appreciate how the marina is set back, off a short protected channel. The kayak launch/storage, an outdoor fire pit and private sandy beach are located on the waters edge of the Intracoastal Waterway. Residents at the boating community are constantly blessed by vibrant sunrises and soothing ocean breezes.
Logan Home builders, at the helm, has done a beautiful job with the community’s 160 home master plan according to Real Estate Scorecard. They have a track record of building stunning homes across Wilmington, Leland, Southport, and other Carolina communities. At Helms Port, Logan Home builders was a conscience steward of the rare land parcel and built the community’s amenities in the most desirable place, maximizing waterfront views for the entire community’s enjoyment.
