1200 Great Oaks Drive, Wilmington, NC 28405
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on one of Landfall's most scenic and sought after locations, 1200 Great Oaks Drive presents a rare opportunity to own one of Wilmington's most exceptional waterfront estates. With an expansive position along the Intracoastal Waterway, this Mediterranean-inspired villa commands sweeping, uninterrupted views across shimmering waters to Wrightsville Beach and Figure Eight Island beyond. The home's striking presence is only matched by its extraordinary vantage point--sunrises over the water greet nearly every room, while the soft hush of the tide offers a daily rhythm of peace and privacy.
Gracefully positioned on a broad, fan-shaped waterfront parcel that widens dramatically toward the Intracoastal, the lot offers an expansive sense of space and privacy rarely found along the coast. The residence unfolds across approximately 6,000 square feet of elegant, light-filled interiors. Every detail has been considered, from the grand formal spaces designed for entertaining to the intimate corners meant for quiet retreat. The heart of the home is a sun-drenched great room with soaring windows that frame the water like living art, while the chef's kitchen flows seamlessly into a warm and inviting family space. Architectural touches throughout pay homage to timeless European design, yet the home is unmistakably tailored for modern coastal living.
A handsome paneled study, sourced from the historic Woolworth estate, adds depth and character, while an open-air grotto and waterside terraces invite endless opportunities to gather and unwind. The lower level, complete with a game room and wet bar, opens directly to the waterfront grounds, where gentle breezes and panoramic vistas await. Practical luxuries include an elevator, whole-house generator, hurricane-rated shutters, and a spacious garage with additional covered parking. Graceful, refined, and utterly unique, this residence offers a once-in-a-generation setting on one of Landfall's most iconic street. Whether hosting grand affairs or enjoying a peaceful morning by the water, 1200 Great Oaks Drive is the ultimate expression of coastal elegance.
