Custom 4BR Estate with Panoramic Nicklaus #9 Golf Views
What stops you on Sun Runner Place is the view: a wide, green sweep of the Nicklaus #9 fairway and a reflective pond that frames the rear of this custom estate. Sited on a generous 1.34-acre lot inside Landfall’s gated perimeter, the home’s brick-veneer façade and shingle roof announce traditional craftsmanship while mature landscaping establishes immediate privacy.
Step inside and the home reads as a purposeful entertainer’s residence with clearly defined rooms and premium finishes. Wide hardwood floors carry through the main areas beneath high ceilings; a gas-log fireplace anchors a formal living room and a wet bar opens into an inviting family room. The gourmet kitchen includes built-in appliances and ample counter and prep space—designed to support both weekday breakfasts and larger holiday gatherings.
The primary suite on the first floor offers a private retreat with dual closets and a sizable bath. Upstairs, a massive finished room over the garage (FROG) with its own full bath provides flexible use as media, guest, or in-law space. Additional rooms include a versatile office or exercise room and four other full baths to support family and guests without compromise.
Outdoor living is a highlight: a huge covered back porch stretches along the rear, oriented toward golf-course vistas and seasonal pond reflections—ideal for summer evenings or watching Landfall community events. Practical features include a three-car attached garage, central HVAC, heat pump, municipal utilities, and level topography that eases day-to-day maintenance. With proximity to the Nicklaus Clubhouse (approximately 0.1 miles), Wrightsville Beach (3 miles), Mayfaire Town Center (2 miles), and UNC Wilmington (4 miles), this property blends private estate living with ready access to coastal and urban amenities.
This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully built, well-maintained custom estate in one of Wilmington’s most desirable gated neighborhoods. Please verify HOA details, recent renovations, and roof condition with appropriate professionals during your due diligence.

901 Sun Runner Pl, Wilmington, NC 28405
Landfall is Wilmington’s premier gated community, prized for private club amenities, manicured golf courses, and family-oriented programming. Residents enjoy access to multiple clubhouses, organized social events (including the community’s notable 4th of July celebrations), and easy drives to Wrightsville Beach, Mayfaire shopping, and UNC Wilmington. Streets are tree-lined and well-maintained; the neighborhood attracts buyers seeking an upscale coastal lifestyle with a strong sense of community and convenient access to dining, medical centers, and beach recreation.
Very good access to outdoor recreation: immediate golf course and clubhouse amenities, a pond and green space on the property, Wrightsville Beach three miles away for water activities, and nearby shopping and trails at Mayfaire.
A factual market snapshot around 901 Sun Runner Pl.
Landfall sits in a balanced, slightly supply-constrained market that favors well-priced, move-in ready luxury homes. Current local market data shows about 3.5 months of inventory and an average days on market near 90 — reflective of strong buyer interest but longer selling cycles for high-end listings. Median sale prices in the area center around $1,500,000, while recent comparables for golf-front homes within 0.5 miles ranged from roughly $1.95M up to $2.813M, supporting a valuation band for this property between $2.3M and $2.5M (midpoint ~$2.4M).
For buyers, the immediate draw is Landfall’s amenity set and coastal proximity: limited inventory for similarly situated golf-front estates means motivated buyers who need that combination of lot size and views often face competition. For sellers, the luxury segment may require slightly longer marketing windows and strategic pricing to capture buyer attention. Rental comparables also indicate strong demand for high-end leases in Landfall, with estimated monthly rents near $6,300 — useful context for investors considering short-term hold strategies. In sum, this is a stable market with modest appreciation (roughly 5% year-over-year in the area) and clear premiums for golf-front, acreage properties.
