Hampstead Golf, Water Communities

Castle Bay in Hampstead is a private community developed around a golf course with acres of protected wetlands, numerous ponds and lake with scenic beaches. A Scottish links golf course, sidewalks, pool, tennis, and fitness center are some of the amenities of the community.

One of the most appealing features at Castle Bay is the mix of people who live there. There are families with young children who are drawn to the Pender County schools, military personnel who are stationed nearby in Jacksonville but prefer living outside a completely military facility, and retirees who love being close to all the area offers but away from the hustle and bustle. There will be 300 home sites when Castle Bay is fully built out and patio homes as well as custom homes are being built.

Belvedere Country Club

Another community which features a well maintained golf course as its focal point is Belvedere Country Club. Also located in Hampstead, Belvedere stretches from U.S. 17 back to the Intracoastal Waterway in Hampstead. There are many different types of homes in Belvedere, from relatively modest villas to much larger homes facing the water.

Olde Point Nearly Complete

Just a few lots that can be built on remain at Olde Point, another community that stretches from U.S. 17 to the Intracoastal Waterway in Hampstead. Homes of all types are present in the development that dates back to the late 1970s.

Where Eagles Soar

Eagle’s Watch in Hampstead is an upscale development on the Intracoastal Waterway emphasizing the protection of nature and wildlife. A gated community, Eagle’s Watch features two ponds with cypress trees and a three-acre lake, plus a 350-foot bald eagle’s preserve. Amenities include tennis, putting green, swimming pool, nature trail, and pavilion housing a variety of facilities plus a bird watching area.

The 134 homesites, ranging from about half an acre to over an acre, are beautifully sited along both Nixon’s Mill Creek and Old Topsail Creek. Wooded lots with stately pine, cypress and cedar trees are available, as are lots on the high bluff overlooking marsh grasses and a winding tidal creek. For seven months a year, Knotch and Serrata, a protected pair of bald eagles, nest in the bluffs, helping to make Eagle’s Nest a true nature lover’s paradise.
