Have you ever dreamed of living in a resort with a gorgeous swimming pool and fabulous fitness center? How about a championship golf course, tennis courts, and canals for kayaking? If you said yes to any of those, we’ve got the perfect community for you! Driving into Compass Pointe off U.S. Hwy. 74/76 in Leland, NC, is like driving into your own little oasis.
At the heart of Compass Pointe is the Grand Lanai, a 15,000 square foot clubhouse that serves as the social hub of the community. Several events are scheduled each month and cover a wide range of interests. In the past these events have included a culinary club, pickleball tournaments, bocce ball tournaments, exercise classes, art classes, tennis competitions, poker, organized bike rides, a cardboard boat regatta, and holiday events.
Surrounding the Grand Lanai are many of the community’s amenities. Residents can float down the lazy river, swim some laps in the resort style pool, play a game of tennis or pickleball, join a fitness class at The Pointe Wellness Center, or launch a kayak into Cardinal Lake. There are also walking and nature trails that weave throughout the community’s 2,200 acres, and an RV/Boat storage lot and fenced dog park on the eastern side of the community.
Compass Pointe has over 26 sub-communities spanning a wide range of needs and budgets. The community has been in existence since 2009. Builders have already constructed hundreds of homes, but plenty more homesites are available. This gives buyers the stability of an existing home community and the power to customize their dream home.
One of the most beautiful communities in our area, conservation areas dot and surround Compass Pointe. Lot sizes vary from a 1/4 acre up to almost a full acre, depending on the type of home. Many homesites have views and private back yards with lush foliage that blends well with the surrounding landscape.
The builders in Compass Pointe have constructed homes in other popular communities and represent the finest craftsmen in Southeastern North Carolina. They deliver custom and semi-custom homes in Southern Coastal and Contemporary Styles. Many plans have been built with optional rooms, features, and elevations, so no two homes are the same. They include a variety of the most popular home features (ex. front porches, trey ceilings, open floors plans, built-in shelving, granite, tile backsplashes, and screened porches) and energy efficient designs. Between all the floor plans provided by these builders, there’s sure to be something for everyone.
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance home, Compass Pointe also has townhomes. Developers paid just as much time and attention to designing these units as the single-family detached houses. They have open floor plans to maximize the feeling of spaciousness. They also include many of the popular features found in the community’s houses.
Close to half of the properties in Compass Pointe surround The Compass Pointe Golf Club, an 18-hole championship golf course that was designed by Rick Robbins, whose designs can be seen throughout the United States and in China, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. It includes optional family tees for junior players, older players, and a social experience. It also has a short course, chipping green, driving range, and practice bunker. Residents of Compass Pointe are welcome to purchase a membership or play as they go. The clubhouse requires a membership, but it has a golf simulator, fitness center, outdoor pool, private event space, and dining room.
Compass Pointe does have a homeowner’s association that requires an annual fee. It covers maintenance of all amenities and common areas, as well as security fees, management fees, and common area taxes.
Located close (but not too close) to Leland’s booming commercial areas, Compass Pointe residents benefit from the proximity to great area attractions. A 20-minute drive also brings residents to downtown Wilmington, a cultural center bursting with award-winning restaurants, breweries, theaters, and concerts. It’s also just 30-minute drive from Wrightsville Beach and Oak Island.
