This is the kind of waterfront property people spend years looking for. Perched approximately 18 feet above sea level on a rare coastal bluff, this homesite looks across the Intracoastal Waterway and surrounding marshes to New River Inlet, with the Atlantic Ocean visible beyond. And unlike much of the waterfront along the North Carolina coast, the elevation creates the opportunity to build a single-story home rather than on pilings. Centuries-old live oaks are the centerpiece of the property, stretching across the bluff and framing views that change with the tides, passing boats, sunrises and sunsets. A recent arborist evaluation identified seven large, mature live oaks including one measuring an impressive 66 inches in diameter. For boaters, it gets even better. Boat dock potential exists subject to state and federal permitting, and a waterfront consultant has already reviewed the site. New River Inlet is just minutes away, putting the Atlantic within easy reach from your own stretch of the Intracoastal. Much of the homework has already been done. The property has county water available, a 6-bedroom septic permit, new survey, private easement access from Flamingo Lane, and no HOA. Protective covenants are in place to help preserve the character of this special setting. There is history here, too. The waters surrounding the bluff were part of the route traveled by the Civil War gunboat USS Ellis during one of Onslow County's most notable naval engagements. More than 160 years later, the setting is remarkably peaceful--live oaks overhead, marsh and water out front, wildlife along the shoreline, and the Atlantic on the horizon. Build something worthy of the setting and make this one yours. Waterfront can be found. High ground can be found. Mature live oaks can be found. An ocean view from the mainland can even be found. Finding all of them on the same property is another story.
