Discover Coastal Luxury: Kent Homes Returns to the 2026 Brunswick County Parade of Homes

Two exceptional homes. Two beautiful coastal communities. One opportunity to find your place in southeastern North Carolina. 

There’s no better way to discover what makes a Kent Home special than to experience one in person. This October, Kent Homes is proud to participate in the 2026 Brunswick County Parade of Homes, featuring two homes that showcase the thoughtful design, elevated details, and comfortable coastal living we’ve spent more than 37 years perfecting.

Join us for the Parade of Homes on October 16–18 and October 23–25, 2026, and explore the Lumina Island in Terrapin and the Cruz Bay in The Bluffs on the Cape Fear. Both homes are available for purchase with leaseback opportunities, making this an exciting time to explore your next home along the North Carolina coast.

Two Kent Homes. Two Ways to Experience Coastal Living.

The Lumina Island | Terrapin, Leland

Discover the Lumina Island in Terrapin, a thoughtfully designed home that brings together inviting living spaces, beautiful finishes, and the relaxed elegance of coastal Carolina living.

From the spacious kitchen and open living area to the second-floor bonus room—perfect for a fan cave, movie nights, or additional gathering space—this home offers room to entertain, unwind, and make memories. With a layout designed for everyday comfort and special occasions alike, the Lumina Island showcases how a well-designed home can make more room for what matters most.

Located in Terrapin in Leland, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy a welcoming community while staying connected to the greater Wilmington area and the coastal lifestyle that makes southeastern North Carolina so desirable.

The Cruz Bay | The Bluffs on the Cape Fear, Leland

At The Bluffs on the Cape Fear, the Cruz Bay brings together distinctive architectural details, carefully considered spaces, and the warmth of a home designed for living well.

This three-bedroom, four-bathroom home reflects the balance of sophistication and comfort that defines the Kent Homes experience. From its inviting interior spaces to the details that make the home feel uniquely its own, the Cruz Bay offers plenty of inspiration for anyone dreaming of a luxury coastal home.

Set within The Bluffs on the Cape Fear, this home provides another opportunity to experience Kent Homes in a beautiful Leland community.

Come see both homes for yourself and discover the details, design choices, and thoughtful features that are even better experienced in person.

A Unique Opportunity: Buy Now, Move Later

What if you could secure your future coastal home today without having to move right away?

Both the Lumina Island and Cruz Bay are available for purchase with leaseback opportunities—an option that may be ideal for buyers who know where they want to be but need a little more time before making the move.

Here's how it works: You purchase the home, and Kent Homes leases it back from you for an agreed-upon period, paying you rent while the lease remains in effect. Once the lease period ends, you can plan to make the home your own.

This arrangement may be especially appealing if you're preparing to relocate, waiting for an existing home to sell, coordinating a retirement timeline, or simply planning your next chapter along the North Carolina coast.

Rather than waiting until you're ready to move to begin your home search, a leaseback opportunity may allow you to secure the home you love now while receiving rental income during the agreed lease term.

Lease terms, timing, and availability vary, so contact Kent Homes for details about each property and its specific leaseback arrangement.

Why Explore Kent Homes?

For more than 37 years, Kent Homes has helped families find a smarter way to a luxury home in southeastern North Carolina. As a second-generation, woman-owned homebuilder, we believe a great home should do more than look beautiful. It should support the way you live, bring people together, and make everyday moments feel special.

Our approach combines thoughtful design, personalized choices, and a commitment to the experience of building and owning a home. Whether you're looking for your next chapter, a place to gather with family, or a home that brings you closer to the coastal lifestyle you've been dreaming about, we're here to help you explore the possibilities.

The Parade of Homes is the perfect opportunity to see that philosophy come to life.
