Ready to build your dream home in a private, gated community on the water? Look no further than 3768 Silver Melon Road Northeast, a truly exceptional property located in the highly desirable neighborhood of The Bluffs on the Cape Fear - a private preserve in the midst of nature, but just 15 min to Wilmington, NC - recently named by Southern Living as the top ''city on the rise'' in the South.

This partially cleared homesite offers a total lot size of approximately .35 acres, providing ample space to create your dream coastal retreat. Situated within The Bluffs on the Cape Fear, residents have access to an array of amenities including eight miles of walking and biking trails, resort-style pool and pool house, lakefront clubhouse with outdoor grills and community kitchen, tennis and pickleball, 2-acre riverfront park on the Cape Fear River, boat and kayak launch, fire pits and a new state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center at a soon to be completed expanded clubhouse.

Residents also have access to a private beach club (with private parking and direct beach access) on Oak Island - a 12-mile beach front separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway with a southward-facing shoreline, offering both sunrise and sunset views from the beachfront. Travel + Leisure even recently called Oak Island one of the state's ''best-kept secrets''.

With custom homes designed to embrace the outdoors, the eight featured builders provide an easy, streamlined process, and designs that fit the landscape and character of The Bluffs.

This golf-cart friendly community and waterfront location allows for unparalleled views and easy access to the Cape Fear River.
