River Bluffs
Few, if any, coastal communities can rival the beauty and serenity of River Bluffs in Castle Hayne, NC. You will discover that living at River Bluffs offers the feeling of being far from a city.
Yet, its proximity to downtown Wilmington, where award-winning eateries and eclectic boutiques abound, is just a short distance away. And the beautiful ocean beaches of Wrightsville Beach or Carolina Beach are within easy reach.
This gated, riverfront community boasts new homes from the $300s to $1.5M+, with lots starting at $80K. This price range offers diversity, making it ideal for young families as well as retirees seeking their forever home. The neighborhood includes a riverwalk where residents can experience and marvel at the natural beauty of the Cape Fear River; a marina that will ultimately host 188 boat slips; parks and trails for hiking or leisurely walks; a community center that features a fitness center and incredible pool; tennis and pickleball courts to encourage an active lifestyle; and a general store offering folks a place to gather and conveniently pick up incidentals.
We have many exciting plans that can be built in this one-of-a-kind waterfront community, which exudes charm, embraces nature, and offers breathtaking sunsets over the river. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Kathy Hogrefe at kathy@wallacecustomhomes.com with any questions, to request floor plan options, a list of property features, or to schedule a tour or meeting.

East & Mason
East & Mason is in the historic Masonboro Sound District, rich with history and well-known for its preservation of coastal architecture dating back to the 1830s.
This well-planned community will provide convenient access to top schools, shopping, natural amenities, and outdoor recreational opportunities. Parsley (Masonboro) Elementary School is right across the street, Wrightsville Beach is a mere 10 minutes away, and nearby Masonboro Island Estuarine Reserve is a local destination. A new 1.4-mile pedestrian and bike path along Masonboro Loop Road provides a convenient option for East & Mason residents to walk to school and the retail shopping areas of Masonboro Station and Courtyard at Masonboro.
You will discover homes and amenities that offer work-from-home opportunities, integrate indoor and outdoor living, and accommodate multi-generational living. The vision is to bring people together by creating a unique sense of place in a walkable coastal community. Diverse architectural styles will be integrated with outdoor amenities, including sidewalks and pocket parks, to create a modern lifestyle that caters to every family member. Mason Hall, the neighborhood clubhouse, features a large event room, a warming kitchen, flexible meeting and activity rooms, and a six-lane swimming pool.
This master planned community will offer homes from the upper $400s to $1M+.
Wallace Custom Homes has several homes under construction currently. Please get in touch with Kathy Hogrefe at kathy@wallacecustomhomes.com for additional details.
