Our Story
A Brief History
Winding River was founded in the mid-1990s by developer Bluegreen as a vision for a coastal community with natural beauty, championship golf, and welcoming neighborhoods. The first residents arrived in 1998. In the years that followed, River House Marina, Beach House, Property Owners Club, and walking trails took shape, laying the community's foundation.
A defining milestone came in 2003, when owners took over the Property Owners Association, shifting from developer-led to owner-led governance. This led to a new Property Owners Clubhouse, opened in January 2008, with the original building repurposed as the fitness center.
Where We Live
A Variety of Home Styles and Neighborhoods
Today, the Winding River Plantation Property Owners Association (WRPOA) oversees approximately 1000 acres that include single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and common areas. Winding River includes a variety of neighborhoods, along with subassociations for its condominium and townhome communities. All property owners have access to Winding River's amenities and community programs.
Single-Family Homes
Homes in Winding River Plantation reflect a wide range of architectural styles, brought to life by multiple respected local builders rather than a single production developer. This variety means residents can choose from classic Southern Lowcountry homes with wraparound porches to more contemporary designs with open floor plans and abundant natural light, all while sharing a distinctly coastal character throughout the community.
To preserve the character that makes Winding River special, every home is guided by community architectural design guidelines and reviewed by the Architectural Review Board. The result is a community where individuality and cohesion coexist, with each home telling its own story while contributing to the natural beauty and welcoming charm that define life in Winding River Plantation.

Condominiums & Townhomes
Condominiums and Townhomes
Owners of these properties are members of the Winding River Plantation Property Owners Association, in addition to their subassociation HOA, and are therefore entitled to use all Winding River amenities. The HOAs each have a board of directors who are volunteers with a vested interest in maintaining the condition and appearance of the grounds and building exteriors. Landscaping and preventative maintenance of the buildings are also high priorities.
Clear Water Place
CondominiumsClear Water Place has seven buildings with a total of fifty individual condo units. Clear Water Place is located across from Carolina National Golf Course and adjacent to Winding River's swimming pool, Property Owners Clubhouse, fitness center and tennis/pickleball courts.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or a smart investment property, these condos deliver the same privileges as every other Winding River Plantation resident, with the ease of a fully maintained home. Many units feature open floor plans, private balconies, and easy elevator access — ideal for full-time living or lock-and-leave convenience.
Sandy Creek Village
TownhomesThe eighteen townhomes of Sandy Creek were constructed by local builder Cameron Smith and reflect the high-quality workmanship and attention to detail that he is known for in Brunswick County. The “Village” is located just off Zion Hill Road and backs up to a private, natural buffer area and creek.
Floor plans range from three to four bedrooms and two to three-and-a-half baths. All townhomes have fireplaces and outside porches and many also have screened decks. Every townhome has its own multi-car garage. Many owners choose to buy in the “Village” for the convenience of townhouse living and exterior maintenance provided through the Homeowners Association (HOA).
