What to Look for in a Lot

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

Choosing the right lot is a critical decision in building your home. It shapes not just where you live, but how you live. Here’s what to consider when selecting the perfect homesite.

Neighborhood Amenities

How will you spend your days? Taking early morning strolls along walking trails? A daily swim or being able to enjoy a round of golf year-round? For boating enthusiasts, easy water access is essential. From tennis courts and fitness centers to shaded gazebos, the perfect neighborhood offers amenities tailored to your lifestyle.

The Surrounding Area

What’s beyond a neighborhood matters just as much. For some, proximity to a lively city with boutiques and an eclectic dining scene is a must. Or some often prioritize top-rated schools. Ideally, the places you love are close enough to enjoy whenever you wish.

Elevation and Views

In coastal areas, elevation makes a difference. You don’t need a steep hillside, but even a modest rise can offer added protection from storm surges and potential flooding. Elevation also influences what you see – from sweeping views of our areas waterways to untouched natural landscapes. If long-term stability and home value are priorities, elevation could be too.

Nature and Scenery

A well-chosen homesite feels connected to its natural surroundings. In the Coastal Carolinas, that often means homes nestled amid preserved woodlands and lush greenery in waterfront locales. Communities that preserve these natural elements offer space to unwind and effortlessly enjoy the outdoors.

Our Communities with Available Homesites*

Building a Future-Proof Home

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

What will the home you buy today need in five, ten, or 20 years? We design our homes to adapt to life’s changes and meet the evolving needs of families, so that your dream home can evolve as your needs change.

Space for a Growing Family

From children playing to shared meals, a dynamic family life needs elbow room. Our open floor plans and abundant natural light create bright, airy spaces that feel open and welcoming.

Lots of Natural Light

A hallmark of Hagood homes, light-filled spaces contribute to an inviting environment for families, help improve your mood, and lower your utility bill. Natural light flows through every room with six-foot windows, eight-foot doors, and ten-foot ceilings on the first floor.

Flexible Bonus Room

Our most adaptable feature is also one of the most popular. Young families may turn the second-floor space into a play area or a game room. As the children grow, that bonus room might work best as a home office. After grown children move out, the bonus room’s lounge, bedroom, and full bath can serve as a private suite for visitors.

Features for Family Life

Families of all shapes and sizes generate clutter. People often enter a home with stuff in hand, and there may be no better way to declutter than with our signature drop zone. For large-scale storage, our standard walk-in attic space is indispensable. There’s even more storage space in an oversized garage with eight-foot-tall and 18-foot-wide doors.

Enjoying the Outdoors

Built for the breezy evenings and warm summers of the Coastal Carolinas, Hagood homes optimize space for outdoor living. A screened porch that epitomizes Southern living is the perfect place to share family meals and take in the evening air. A covered porch on the second floor provides a more intimate way to enjoy the weather and take in the magnificent views.

Adapting to Your Later Years

As children move out, a home needs to adapt. Hagood Homes are designed for aging in place so your home can grow with you. This is perhaps most notable with the first-floor primary suite, eliminating the need for older adults to climb stairs. With a split-floor layout, these suites offer maximum privacy, positioned away from guest suites on opposite sides of the main living areas.

Safety and Accessibility

They’re both critical at every stage of life. However, safety and accessibility needs are often different for older adults. The main living areas have wide interior doors for extra mobility. The spa-like experience of the primary ensuite’s oversized shower provides the same luxury, but its zero-step entry could prove more valuable in one’s later years. A shower bench and a grab bar, once seen only as conveniences, may help reduce the risk of falls.

Features for All Ages

From young families to folks aging in place, many of the included features benefit all. High-efficiency HVAC systems deliver exceptional climate control and energy savings. Abundant natural light helps reduce eye strain. And no matter your age, settling into a rocker and taking in the view from your front porch is a Southern tradition everyone can enjoy.

Life at Summerhouse on Everett Bay: Where Every Day Feels Like a Vacation

Posted on by Hagood Homes Marketing

Imagine waking up to sparkling water views, sipping coffee on your porch as the sun comes up, and knowing that just steps from your home are places to swim, play, boat, or simply relax under the Carolina sky. That’s life at Summerhouse on Everett Bay — and it’s why Hagood Homes is proud to be part of this one-of-a-kind community in Onslow County, NC.

First Impressions Matter

Pulling up to the main gate feels like you’ve arrived at a private resort. The beautifully landscaped entry sets the tone — you’re stepping into a neighborhood that’s not just secure, but special.

The Heart of Summerhouse: Clubhouse, Pool & Gym

This is where neighbors become friends. The clubhouse hosts community gatherings, parties, and celebrations big and small. Outside, the resort-style pool sparkles in the sunshine, and whether you’re swimming laps or just floating with a book in hand, it feels like a mini-vacation. Want to break a sweat? The fitness center has everything you need to fit in a quick workout before heading to the water.

Gather, Relax, & Play

On warm evenings, the open-air pavilion and fire pit come alive. It’s where neighbors gather to share stories, roast marshmallows, and watch the stars. And yes, Summerhouse even has its own lazy river — perfect for kids, or kids at heart, who just want to float their cares away.

Nature at Your Doorstep

If you love the outdoors, you’ll feel right at home. Spicer Lake Park offers peaceful walking paths, a charming gazebo, and quiet spots to soak up the view. With nine lakes and ponds, plus bridges and green spaces scattered throughout the community, every walk feels like a nature escape.

Stay Active: Courts, Playground & More

Whether you’re a pickleball fanatic, a weekend tennis player, or just looking to shoot some hoops, Summerhouse has it all. Families love the playground, and it’s not unusual to see kids playing while parents rally on the courts nearby.

Life on the Water

Living here means the Intracoastal Waterway is practically your backyard. Launch a kayak, take your boat out from the ramp, or enjoy a quiet morning on the day dock. And because there’s convenient RV and boat storage right in the neighborhood, adventure is always within reach.

Beach Days Made Easy

When you’re ready for a change of scenery, the beautiful beaches of Topsail Island are just minutes away. Pack a picnic, grab your flip-flops, and in no time you’re enjoying the sand, surf, and charm of one of North Carolina’s favorite coastal spots.

Hagood Homes is Expanding Our Footprint

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

We’re branching out along the Carolina coast, bringing the Hagood Difference to six additional communities, and more options to make your dream of coastal living come true! From morning strolls along the shoreline to sunsets over open water, these premier neighborhoods provide easy access to the coastal lifestyle.

Ocean Ridge Plantation

Perfectly positioned between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, Ocean Ridge Plantation offers easy access to dynamic city life and serene coastal escapes.

Just a 15-minute drive from Ocean Isle Beach, the gated community invites you to explore scenic walking and biking trails, refresh in shimmering pools, and relax at a private beach club. Golf enthusiasts love the Big Cats – four award-winning courses offering 72 holes of top-tier golf amid sweeping landscapes.

Pelican Reef

Set on Virginia Sound by Topsail Island, Pelican Reef offers a waterfront lifestyle amidst mature hardwoods and untouched wetlands. Here, lots range from a quarter-acre to two acres – ideal for everything from a cozy cottage to a spacious residence.

Spend the afternoon by the clubhouse pool, stay active in the fitness center, and challenge friends on the tennis courts. Explore trails that wind through historic parks and cast off on the water from the dock or kayak launch.

Pecan Grove Plantation

Tucked just inland from Topsail Island, Pecan Grove Plantation welcomes sea breezes and the calming sounds of nature. Imagine your custom-built home nestled among century-old pecan trees and surrounded by natural ponds, while creeks and walking trails wind through unspoiled woodlands.

Gather with neighbors at one of the clubhouses or lounge by the Olympic-size pool. Play a match on the tennis courts or recharge at the fitness center. When you’re ready to explore, a deep-water boat ramp and kayak launch provide easy access to the calm Intracoastal Waterway.


Discover the Harbour Town coming soon to Pecan Grove.

Preservation Point

Set along the Cape Fear River, the nature-filled oasis of Preservation Point is just minutes from Downtown Wilmington and the Carolina coast. Walk miles of scenic trails, unwind at a resort-style pool, or gather with friends at a clubhouse with an outdoor kitchen and fireplaces.

On the community’s seven-acre island, there’s a dog park, pickleball courts, and a deep-water marina – your gateway to open Atlantic waters.

Kingbird

Freedom and space. That’s the idea behind Kingbird, a retreat from city life just a 20-minute drive from Downtown Wilmington. Here, wide-open landscapes stretch beneath big Carolina skies. Parcels of land range from ten to over 50 acres – perfect for building private homesteads and sprawling family retreats.

Picture your rural getaway amid open pastures, winding creeks, placid lakes, and dense woodlands. When the water calls, the nearby Cape Fear River winds to the Atlantic Ocean. Wrightsville Beach is just a 30-minute drive away.

Tradewinds Cove

For those who appreciate simple coastal living, Tradewinds Cove offers a haven along Virginia Bay. This waterfront community features a dock for launching kayaks and a nearby public dock for larger boats. A 20-minute drive brings you to the pristine sands and welcoming waters of Topsail Island.

Oyster Harbour: Lifestyle on the Intracoastal

Posted on by Hagood Homes Marketing

At Hagood Homes, we’re fortunate to build in some of the most beautiful communities along the Carolina coast — and Oyster Harbour in Supply, NC is one of those hidden gems. Just minutes from Holden Beach and Shallotte, this gated neighborhood is nestled along the Intracoastal Waterway, where tree-lined streets, marsh views, and quiet waters make every day feel like a getaway.

We’ve been spending time here lately, and to give you a sense of the community, we put together a few driving tours. These are hosted by our own Hannah Tew and Nora Ruehle, who know Oyster Harbour inside and out.

Download a map of the Oyster Harbour community here & join Hannah on a driving tour down the streets of Oyster Harbour: Eagle Crest Drive, Healing Water Lane & Russell Hewlett Road:

Now let’s join Hannah on a fun driving tour down the streets of Oyster Harbour: Bluefin Terrace, Sandridge Lane, Oyster Harbour Parkway & Portside Drive.

We conclude the driving tour with a look down the streets of Oyster Harbour: Heron Lake Drive and Redfish Run.

Two Homesites, Endless Opportunities

In the third driving tour, Hannah stops at Homesite #229, where we’re preparing to break ground on a Cape Hatteras design.

“This one’s about to come to life,” Hannah shares, and it’s easy to picture its porches, light-filled rooms, and the breeze flowing through once construction begins.

Nearby, Homesite #264 offers a little more flexibility. Hannah walks viewers through the proposed Cape Lookout Alt plan, but also reminds buyers that this lot is wide open for personalization.

“You can choose a different Hagood plan and make it your own,” she explains, highlighting the kind of freedom Oyster Harbour homeowners enjoy.

For those who aren’t quite ready to build right away, Oyster Harbour also has about 15 additional homesites listed on the public market. Hannah and Nora would be glad to explore those with anyone planning a longer timeline.

A Lifestyle Centered on Amenities

What sets Oyster Harbour apart isn’t just the homes — it’s the lifestyle. Residents enjoy an impressive list of amenities that make it easy to spend the day outdoors or gather with friends and neighbors.

In the clubhouse and pool tour, Hannah points out how inviting the community spaces are, offering something for everyone.

Whether you’re starting your morning with a workout or cooling off in the water there is no shortage of activity and places to have fun.

If tennis or pickleball are more your thing, then you’re in luck! Tennis and pickleball courts bring a fun, social side to the neighborhood!

And certainly not to be outdone, the kayak launch is a favorite of Nora’s. “This might be my happy place,” she says as she looks out over the Intracoastal.

To really get a sense of Oyster Harbour’s beauty, don’t miss the drone tour. The aerial perspective shows how the homes, amenities, and waterways all come together in a community that feels both tucked away and connected.

Homes in Progress

Several Hagood homes are also taking shape here, giving future homeowners the chance to see different designs in different stages:

The Harbour Side, recently completed, shows off Hagood’s signature craftsmanship.

The Daw’s Creek, now at the trim and paint stage, is nearly ready to welcome its owners.

The Palmetto Cove will begin construction soon, another great example of how Oyster Harbour continues to grow.

For those building with us, our Buildertrend system provides real-time updates, so you can follow your home’s progress whether you live nearby or across the country.

Why Oyster Harbour?

Oyster Harbour offers the best of coastal North Carolina: minutes to the beach, close to everyday conveniences, and filled with amenities that make life richer. More than that, it’s a community where neighbors wave, families gather, and porches become favorite rooms in the house.

As Hannah put it best during one of our tours: “This isn’t just a neighborhood—it’s a lifestyle.”

If you’d like to experience Oyster Harbour yourself, let us know. Hannah and Nora would love to show you around — by car, by foot, or even by kayak.

The Ultimate Guide to Owning Your First Hagood Home

Posted on by hagood_homes_dev

With so many decisions to make – both large and small – creating your dream home can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to. Partnering with the Hagood team turns building your dream home into an enjoyable process. Here’s how it works.

Pick a Plan (Then Make It Yours)

Hagood has an extensive portfolio of semi-customizable floor plans. This flexibility enables you to tailor your floor plan to suit your lifestyle, with guidance from a design team every step of the way.

That might mean creating a larger pantry, reworking a bedroom into an open-plan office, or adding a larger porch. You’ll also get a one-on-one meeting with our in-house design team to create a mood board to help you visualize your space. This in-house approach delivers a bespoke home without the lengthy timeline or cost of most custom builds.

A Signature Design Process

After your floor plan is finalized, a three-day design consultation begins. This hands-on process pairs you with a team of specialists who will work together to create the home of your dreams.

You’ll meet with kitchen experts to discuss details such as cabinets, countertops, and appliances. Master electricians will guide you through lighting schemes, panel placements, and smart-home configurations. A landscape architect will help ensure that your home’s exterior landscaping aligns with your vision. With budgeting guidance at every stage, you can make confident choices, leaving no detail overlooked.

Energy Efficient from the Ground Up

Saving energy is a hallmark of every Hagood home. According to the national HERS index – the industry standard for measuring a home’s energy efficiency – Hagood homes rank 45% better than the average newly built home in the U.S.

Much of this savings comes from our signature open-cell spray foam insulation, which encapsulates the home and helps keep it cool on even the hottest of days. Standard double-pane windows and high-efficiency HVAC systems also help Hagood homes save energy and deliver year-round comfort.

Made for Everyday Living

Designed with aging-in-place in mind, Hagood homes feature open floor plans, wide doorways, and zero-entry showers in primary ensuites. Large walk-in attic spaces eliminate the need to climb pull-down stairs to access storage. From oversized garages to thoughtful built-ins, such as our popular drop zones, each space is carefully considered to offer accessibility and ease of use.

Embrace Outdoor Living

Owning a Hagood home means you’ll be able to take full advantage of the pleasant weather in the Coastal Carolinas.

Our front porches are the perfect place to settle into a rocker to enjoy quiet mornings with cool breezes and green views. For many, a traditional Southern home wouldn’t be complete without a screened porch found on every floor plan. These thoughtfully designed porches and patios include space for dining and seating areas, providing shaded comfort year-round.

If you choose a plan with a covered porch on the second floor, you can enjoy the outdoors with lofty views.

When you’re ready to own your first Hagood home, we can help make that home fit your lifestyle. Contact a member of our team today.

Our Latest Cape Lookout

Steps away from the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway, our Cape Lookout in East Wynd epitomizes coastal charm and embraces outdoor living.

A wide front porch with stately columns offers an elegant welcome, enticing you to settle into a rocker to enjoy the salty air. The rear screened porch, with traditional board and batten walls and crushed-shell flooring, is made to enjoy balmy days and cool evenings.

In an open-concept design, a chef’s kitchen with an expansive island has a high coffered ceiling that extends into the great room. Natural light fills the space thanks to tall double-pane windows with double-stud pockets and heavy millwork that’s long been the hallmark of fine Southern homes.

Six-panel interior doors deliver graceful touches, while their eight-foot size and ten-foot ceilings add to the Cape Lookout’s sense of openness.

A Must-See Harbor Town III

This home makes a statement. A stone’s throw from the Intercoastal Waterway, the Harbor Town III impresses with the wide columns of a front porch that rise to a bank of second-floor windows and a gabled roof.

Step inside to be doubly impressed; a two-story foyer with high windows radiates sunlight that carries through the open-plan living areas. With natural wood flooring and wainscoting below and high coffered ceilings above, the craftsmanship that defines the Lowcountry style envelops the space. Continue to a four-season room where walls of floor-to-ceiling windows offer magnificent green vistas.

The upper floor has one of the Harbor Town III’s most popular features: a covered porch. And because it’s in East Wynd, the shady outdoor haven has sweeping views of the Intercoastal Waterway!
