Discover Winding River Plantation

Set along the picturesque Lockwood Folly River in Bolivia, North Carolina, Winding River Plantation is a gated, master-planned community offering an appealing combination of natural beauty, recreational amenities, and relaxed coastal living. Its central Brunswick County location provides convenient access to Holden Beach, Southport, Shallotte, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach.


A Scenic Coastal Setting

Encompassing more than 1,000 acres, Winding River Plantation features mature woodlands, peaceful ponds, attractive landscaping, and quiet streets that complement the community’s natural surroundings. Homes and homesites are thoughtfully positioned throughout a variety of neighborhoods, creating an inviting residential environment with views of golf fairways, water, and preserved open spaces.

Championship Golf Close to Home


At the heart of the community is Carolina National Golf Club, a 27-hole Fred Couples signature course designed around the area’s native wetlands and wooded terrain. Its three distinctive nine-hole layouts offer an enjoyable challenge for golfers of varying skill levels while showcasing the beauty of the Lockwood Folly River basin.

Amenities for an Active Coastal Lifestyle


Winding River Plantation offers an impressive collection of amenities designed for recreation, wellness, and social connection. Residents can enjoy a community clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, and paths for walking and biking. The riverfront area provides boat slips, a kayak launch, and convenient access to the Lockwood Folly River and nearby coastal waterways.

Private Beach Club at Holden Beach


One of the community’s most desirable features is its private Seaside Beach Club on Holden Beach. Reserved for Winding River property owners, the club provides private parking, a swimming pool, gathering areas, and convenient access to the oceanfront. It gives residents the opportunity to enjoy a day at the beach without the usual challenges of locating public parking during the busy summer season.

Homes for a Variety of Lifestyles


Real estate within Winding River Plantation includes custom-built residences and scenic homesites in a broad selection of architectural styles and sizes. Buyers can find comfortable primary residences, spacious retirement homes, and coastal retreats surrounded by established landscaping and attractive neighborhood streetscapes.

A Relaxed Way of Life in Coastal North Carolina


Whether spending the morning on the golf course, launching a kayak along the river, relaxing beside the pool, or enjoying the beaches of Brunswick County, residents have numerous ways to make the most of the coastal setting. Winding River Plantation brings together natural surroundings, extensive amenities, and a welcoming residential atmosphere in one of southeastern North Carolina’s most appealing locations.
