About this home

Founder's View is the name given to this parcel and residence located on the east bank of the Cape Fear River along the reach of land connecting Wilmington to Carolina Beach. So named for its selection by the family that founded and developed the River Oaks section of the community, the Founders clearly had the opportunity to build on the choicest sites overlooking the river. Located at 7836 River Road it's only minutes from Wilmington and the beaches, but feels miles away once you arrive home, accessed by a winding drive surrounded by live oak trees strewn with Spanish moss, along with flowering azaleas, and camellias. This home offers more than 180 degrees of unobstructed views of the Cape Fear River. Imagine, coming home after a busy day and throwing up your feet to enjoy one of the best shows around at sunset. The home itself offers single story living with a large master suite with views from most every room in the house. A large private deck overlooking the river brings it all together. .
