Imagine beautiful homes perched on the hilly, wooded shore of Mill Creek. Old Millstone Landing, a small enclave of only 28 homes, hints of times gone by, when life was much simpler than it is today. The sun kissed waters of the tidal creek glisten as gentle breezes nudge the marsh grasses into a friendly wave. A salty tang and bird songs fills the air, summoning you to your porch, pier or boat for a little quality time. Pickup your fishing pole, butterfly net, bird watching gear or crab pots, the time is your to enjoy. Old Millstone Landing is part of the Sneads Ferry community. A quaint fishing village. The ocean is but a short boat ride down Mill Creek into Alligator Bay and then North up the Intracoastal Waterway to New River Inlet or South to Topsail inlet. Great fishing and marine sports are all nearby. Old Millstone Landing invites you to take life at a more leisurely pace. Enjoy the history, festivities, weather and nature that makes this area special. Built on long ago Algonquian Indian hunting grounds, the crossing of Old Folkstone Road and Mill Creek also served the area as a grist mill with a dam built in lieu of the bridge. The Everett family, with roots dating back to the 1700's built and operate the mill into the late 1800's when the miller's home was converted into a rollicking tavern and dance hall serving both locals, the marines from Camp Lejeune and Camp Davis GI's Coastal Onslow County and Stump Sound township particularly are enjoying new found prosperity as more and more baby boomers are seeking to retire to the natural beauty of the temperate North Carolina coast. Factors driving the economy along with retirees, include beach vacationing families heading to Topsail Island only 3 miles away and an influx of permanent military facilities such as the Marine Corp. Rapid Response Brigade, The Homeland Security Force, and the Coast Guard Training Base for Homeland Security. These all have a stabilizing effect on the economy by reducing recessions. They are amazed that taxes are low and reasonable home prices still exist. Mimosa Bay, Alligator Bay and Summer House in Holly Ridge are other new communities in the area. Come and explore, but don't be surprised if you decide to stay. It's the good life you've been dreaming of.
