The Estate
A waterfront estate on Masonboro Sound, where clipped garden gives way to marsh and then to open water, with Masonboro Island opposite and the Atlantic beyond it. Live oaks and pine groves stand over a formal boxwood garden, a camellia garden, a large pool, and a pier with a boat lift reaches out into the sound. The brick main house, built in 2000 to a design by the architect Michael Kersting, is arranged around an octagonal gallery that climbs three stories to a cupola. A log guest cottage, the original house here, stands separately on the grounds.

Location
The Setting
Masonboro Sound is the stretch of water between Wilmington and the barrier islands, and this part of it is old ground — long lots running down to the marsh, the same live oaks standing over them.
The estate faces the Intracoastal Waterway. Masonboro Island sits opposite, undeveloped and reachable only by boat, and the Atlantic lies beyond it. A pier with a boat lift puts the water within reach from the property itself.
Wilmington's historic downtown and Wrightsville Beach are both a short drive away, as is Wilmington International Airport.
