St James Plantation Is A Paradise For Active Seniors

By Karen Allen


For those seniors lucky enough to have saved for retirement and know what they want to do with the rest of their lives, moving into an area they have visited and learned to love is like a dream come true. Many choose a place for its natural beauty, good climate, and amenities. The coast of North Carolina and St James Plantation has great charm and allure.

For active seniors who love the water, antiquing, art galleries, fine dining, and golfing, there can be no more perfect spot. Southport has all of this and more. You're not so far south that the weather is nearly the same all year round. You are also not far enough north that you have to worry about the snow piling up in the winter. In Southport, you can enjoy the changing seasons, and still enjoy outdoor activities all year long.

This is a small community where neighbors know one another and are quick to welcome newcomers. They will point with pride to the massive live oaks that line the charming streets where stately homes delight those interested in antebellum architecture. There are plenty of small shops, as well as fine restaurants with some of the best seafood in the country brought in fresh from the ocean. Two major medical centers are located just around the corner.

On any given day, you might choose to play different championship courses designed by golf legends Nicklaus, Irwin, Dye, and Cate. If you aren't in the mood for a full round, you can try the driving ranges, practice greens, or sign up for one of the frequent clinics offered by the club. All you need is one membership to give you access to all four courses.

Boaters will be happy to know that they have a safe place to dock their boats at the full service marina located on the Intracoastal Waterway and just five minutes from the Atlantic. There are over a hundred and fifty wet slips and dry stack storage for more than three hundred boats. You will enjoy crab cakes and the live music, right there at the marina, after a refreshing day on the water.

Nature lovers will love watching the Great Blue Herons glide through the marshes every day. If you like to hike, you will have plenty of trails to choose from on the Intracoastal and inland. You could spend time hunting for the Venus Flytraps that call this area home. In the evening the Lakefront Amphitheater may be offering a concert or a fireworks display for residents and guests.

Fitness buffs will enjoy the classes available all the time as well as the saunas, indoor and outdoor pools, weight training and more. As a member you will have access to the four elegant clubs and all the amenities that go with them. One simple membership covers everything.

Once you have discovered Southport and St. James, you will want to make this area your home. Seniors who enjoy an active lifestyle will find more to do every day than they can possibly fit in. There is a reason it's been the best selling community on the North Carolina coast for twenty straight years.
