Live Beneath the Trees in Southport's Maritime Forest. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature coastal trees on a private .47-acre cul-de-sac homesite, this distinctive Acadian-style residence in Indigo Plantation & Marina feels beautifully connected to the landscape that makes Southport so special. For the buyer who would rather wake to birds in the trees than rooftops outside the window, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers over 2,100 square feet surrounded by the quiet beauty of the maritime forest. Moss-draped branches, filtered sunlight and the changing seasons create a natural backdrop that feels peaceful, private and distinctly coastal. The home's architecture seems perfectly at home among the trees. Inspired by rustic French and West Indian influences, its steeply pitched roof and wide soffits reflect classic Acadian design. Teak front steps have naturally weathered to a silvery patina, adding character and a subtle connection to Southport's maritime history and the Indigo Trade. Inside, original hardwood floors and handcrafted stair treads bring warmth and authenticity. The kitchen, dining and family room flow naturally together, while a thoughtfully designed home bar makes entertaining friends easy. Outdoor living is just as inviting. Begin your morning on the wide covered front porch surrounded by the sounds of the forest, then end the day on the private screened rear porch beneath the trees. Custom gas lanterns imported from New Orleans cast a warm glow in the evenings, while natural gas also serves the home's fireplace, grill, heating and other systems. Indigo Plantation complements this nature-focused lifestyle with scenic walking trails winding through the community, along with a clubhouse, lap pool and tennis courts. At nearby Indigo Marina, boat slips may be available for lease, offering another way to enjoy Southport's coastal surroundings. And when you want to venture beyond the trees, historic downtown Southport--with its waterfront, restaurants, shops and seafood markets--is just a golf cart ride away. For someone who loves trees, privacy, architecture and the quiet beauty of the maritime forest, this isn't simply a home in Southport--it's a home that feels like it belongs to Southport. Call us today for a Showing ! Listing Agent had an extensive conversation with Chad Paul, the CEO and developer of the Indigo Project and the Waterway Community. He said that he had NO PLANS to purchase the 2.5 acres of the Prevatte land that runs behind this home and that it would NOT be incorporated into the Waterway Community. He said that it would remain a private residential lot with a private drive. Mr. Paul invited any agents with questions to call him at 910-457-7358 to further details. The question of impervious surface has also come up; this home has a gravel driveway and has not exceeded it's impervious surface area, so new buyers should not have any problem added a garage onto to the property. According to the owner, the home was built before the covenants were put into place addressing the impervious surfaces of the neighborhood and because of the year the home was built, that it is grandfathered out of this restriction. Please call agent with any questions.
