🏡Ocean Ridge Plantation — Luxury Coastal Living in Ocean Isle Beach, NC

Welcome to Ocean Ridge Plantation — a gated, guarded, amenity-rich golf and beach community that offers a relaxed yet refined coastal lifestyle. If you’re searching for retirement, vacation, or forever-home options near the beach, you’ll find that Ocean Ridge balances natural beauty, upscale amenities, and real estate flexibility like few other communities can.
Why Ocean Ridge Plantation Stands Out
- Gated & guarded entrance with security — privacy and peace of mind for residents.
- Premier golf-course community — enjoy the “Big Cats” courses with championship-level play across multiple 18-hole layouts.
- Beach access & private beach club — residents have access to a private oceanfront Beach Club just minutes from the gates, at nearby Sunset Beach.
- Resort-style amenities — from indoor & outdoor pools, fitness centers, tennis and pickleball, to nature trails, lake fishing, community gardens, and social clubs — there’s something for nearly every lifestyle.
✨ Recent Upgrades & New Amenities — Next-Level Lifestyle
One of the biggest draws right now is the brand-new amenity enhancements that have recently been added or expanded at Ocean Ridge Plantation. These include:

- A newly built modern community center (the “Ridge Center & Campus”), offering versatile meeting/event rooms, a library lounge, and a catering kitchen — ideal for social gatherings, community events, or private functions.
- A zero-entry outdoor pool — perfect for all ages, and especially attractive for retirees or anyone seeking easy-access swimming without steps.
- Expanded pickleball courts — hard-surface, lighted courts added recently, giving residents even more recreation options beyond golf and tennis.
- A new event lawn with a band pavilion / amphitheater — creating opportunities for concerts, community events, gatherings, and outdoor social life unlike many other communities.
These new amenities elevate Ocean Ridge from simply a “golf & beach community” to a full-featured lifestyle destination.
🏘️ Real Estate at Ocean Ridge — Homes & Homesites for Every Lifestyle
Property Types & Options
- Single-family homes — from cozy cottages and patio homes to large estate homes.
- Custom homesites / lots — if you prefer to build, there are available lots offering golf-course views, water views, wooded preserves, or lakefront settings.
- New-construction by prestigious builders — there is a “new release” section within Ocean Ridge built by quality builders offering modern homes with current amenities. The community has actively been releasing new homesites in this newer phase.
Pricing & Build-Out Info
- As of the most recent reports, existing homes in Ocean Ridge generally start in the low $500,000s and go up — depending on size, lot, view, and amenities.
- There are homesites available now for those who want to build custom homes — a great option if you have a vision (or want a retirement-ready build).
- The community plan for long-term build-out includes thousands of homes, with multiple neighborhoods, giving flexibility and variety depending on your lifestyle and budget.
Whether you want a maintenance-easy patio home, a luxury estate, or a blank canvas to build your dream home — Ocean Ridge offers something for nearly everyone.
🌿 Lifestyle, Community & Nature — More Than Just a House
Living in Ocean Ridge isn’t just about a home — it’s about joining a vibrant, active, amenity-rich community. Residents enjoy:
- Oceanfront Sunset Beach access — private, exclusive, and serene.
- Lakes, nature preserves, walking/biking trails, and peaceful green spaces for recreation, relaxation, or fishing.
- Over 50–100+ clubs, social groups, and community organizations — from fitness to hobby groups to social events — a perfect way to make friends, stay active, and enjoy a social, fulfilling lifestyle.
- A welcoming, coastal lifestyle — blending golf, beach, water, nature, and community in a way few other places can.
For many, this isn’t just a home — it’s a lifestyle upgrade, where every day can feel like vacation.
📝 Why Ocean Ridge Plantation Should Be at the Top of Your List
