Welcome to an exceptional waterfront retreat offering approximately 10 acres of privacy along the peaceful waters of South River. This unique property combines the best of coastal living with room to roam, featuring approximately 8 acres of usable land, a private pond, mature live oaks, expansive water views, and a private dock with an electric, 7,000-pound certified boat lift. A deep-water channel that accommodates larger boats, and the Intracoastal Waterway is just a 15-minute boat ride away, providing convenient access to some of the Crystal Coast's best boating destinations. Whether your passion is boating, fishing, blue crabbing, shrimping, or simply watching dolphins cruise by, this property offers a waterfront lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Inside, the home features an open floor plan with beautiful water views, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a spacious living area with fireplace, generously sized bedrooms, and an unfinished walk-up attic offering tremendous storage or future expansion potential. Recent improvements include new kitchen appliances, a new 230-foot well installed in 2024, a reverse osmosis water filtration system installed in 2024, and HVAC that has been professionally serviced twice each year. Built with hurricane roof truss ties and a hurricane-rated carport, the home offers added peace of mind for coastal living. With no HOA, abundant privacy, and endless opportunities to enjoy the water, this rare property is equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or private waterfront estate where boating, recreation, and the natural beauty of coastal North Carolina are right outside your back door.
