Winding River Plantation is a premier, gated, amenity-rich community located in Brunswick County, North Carolina on the banks of the Lockwood Folly River near the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. It is located on approximately 1000 acres surrounding the 27-hole Carolina National Golf Club. The community enjoys easy access to one of southeast North Carolina’s favorite family beaches – Holden Beach and is situated about halfway between Wilmington, NC to the north and Myrtle Beach, SC.

Southeastern North Carolina is a beautiful place to live. Please check out our "North Carolina Living" slide show and judge for yourself!



The natural beauty of Winding River lies in the contour of the land and the wonderful array of coastal hardwoods, Carolina pines, and tidal salt marshes. There are 1134 properties that comprise Winding River with 1066 single family resident lots (approximately 48% of which have been built upon), 18 townhomes, and 50 condominiums. Thirty-nine (39) of the single family resident lots are located at Seaside on Holden Beach Island.



While all of the properties at Winding River are privately owned, lots and homes do come on the market from time to time. Please check with a local Brunswick County real estate professional to see what might be available.



From its inception, the residents of Winding River have been known for their laid-back, fun-loving style. There is a mix of retirees, young professionals, and young families who call Winding River home. Outdoor activities, sports, and social opportunities abound including golf, tennis, boating, exercise classes and facilities, card and table games, numerous groups representing various “special” interests, and a broad array of activities planned by our Social Committee. In addition, the community reaps the benefits of a very active population who routinely volunteer for activities and committees essential to the operation of the Winding River Plantation Community Association. Our residents also give generously of their time to share their talents and skills with many charitable organizations including churches and schools in neighboring areas.
