Scotch Hall Preserve, Second Homes For Golfers In North Carolina

Filed under: Sports, Real Estate Developments

Golfers and boaters alike would be very happy at Scotch Hall Preserve, a new 900-acre second home waterfront club community located on North Carolina's scenic Inner Banks, about 20 minutes from Edenton, North Carolina.

Recently they hired Nick Cassini, who was the top amateur golfer in the world in 2001 and went on to play in the PGA and European tours. Cassini is now the Director of Golf, overseeing Scotch Hall Preserve's Arnold Palmer Signature course, which opened in the spring of 2008 and was named to Golf Digest's Top 10 Best New Private Courses in 2009. Cassini has the happy task of organizing member events, helping to keep the course in top shape and introducing new owners to the course. It's a job with some pretty great views like the one from the 17th hole shown above.

Scotch Hall Preserve has also broken ground on its family retreat complex. The first phase includes a pool with cabanas, golf starter pavilion, an events and sports lawn, and will be surrounded by nine family retreat cottages. The cottages average 2,600 square feet, with double master suites and two guest rooms, and come fully furnished. Each cottage has a view of the golf course, and the water is less than a five-minute golf cart ride away. Two cottages are already underway, with a completed model to open this summer. Prices begin at $540,000.

Searching for the best combination of qualities the editors selected the following as their top five:

Another golfers' delight community is being built. The interesting thing about this one in Warwick, Pennsylvania is that is a new development of 210 single-family homes overlooking an 18-hole public golf course, a 50-acre park and 2 miles of walking trails. The Golf Club Estates at Heritage Creek is the second phase of the Heritage Creek project, an adjoining age-restricted development of 402 single homes and 115 condominiums. The new homes are 3,477 to 4,300 square feet and are aimed at retiring baby boomers. The four-bedroom homes start in the mid-$600,000s.
