Airlie Forest Wilmington NC

Airlie Forest Wilmington NC is located off of Airlie Rd.  Airlie Rd is a scenic bisection between Oleander and Eastwood Rd coming out just before the Wrightsville Beach Bridge. It takes a tour of the Intracoastal Waterway and Wrightsville Beach sound along its slow paced path.  Airlie Forest is a charming, small, quiet neighborhood on a single road connecting Airlie Rd to Wrightsville Ave.  There is a gate at Wrightsville Ave.  There are about a dozen homes with mixed architecture along this winding road.  You will find cottage, low country, and traditional styles.  Airlie Forest Wilmington NC homes range in size from 2600 to 4400 square feet situated on 1/3 acre lots.  Construction took place between 2001 and 2008 and homes prices are $550,000.00 to $925,000.00.

This neighborhood is near Airlie Gardens, a 67 acre public garden located close to Oleander Rd. It was created in 1901 as a private garden for the Pembroke Jones family by Mrs. Jones as a lush, flowing, naturalistic Southern Garden with thousands of azaleas, camellias, magnolias, and wisteria. The garden was purchased by New Hanover County in 1999 opening it to the public for an admission fee.

Further down the road you can take a trip back in time and enjoy the view of Gabriel’s Landing. This 102 acre home site and horse farm is on the national register of historic places. The colonial house sits on a knoll overlooking Wrightsville Sound. The property is named after Gabriel Johnston, a former owner of the property in the 1700’s(his house is since gone), and was a Royal Governor of the Colony.

Airlie Rd. finishes off with 3 restaurants (Dockside restaurant, Fish House Grill, and the Bridge Tender) and a marina. This beautiful road starts with a mature landscape and botanical gardens, sweeps into a sound view, and ends at the beginning of Wrightsville Beach.
