1.75 Acres of Land for Sale in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina

Along the North Carolina coast, finding a property like this is extraordinarily rare. Set beneath a canopy of centuries-old live oaks, this rare coastal waterfront bluff overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway, marshes, New River Inlet, and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Few mainland homesites along this stretch of coast offer the combination of elevation, views, and natural beauty found here. Unlike much of coastal waterfront North Carolina, this property sits 18 feet above sea level, creating the opportunity to build a single-story home on slab without the expense and inconvenience of elevated construction. The bluff is defined by magnificent live oaks that frame the water and create a setting that feels as though it has been untouched for generations. Boat dock potential exists subject to state and federal permitting, a consultant has already reviewed the site. From here, the Atlantic Ocean is only minutes away through New River Inlet. The property is served by county water, includes a 6 bedroom septic permit and new survey, is accessed by a private easement from Flamingo Lane, and is not subject to an HOA. Protective covenants are in place to preserve the character of the property and ensure future improvements reflect the quality of the setting. The waters surrounding this bluff were once part of the route traveled by the Civil War gunboat USS Ellis during one of Onslow County's most notable naval engagements. Today, however, the story is far more peaceful--defined by coastal breezes, abundant wildlife, passing boats, and some of the most remarkable waterfront views on the North Carolina coast. Generational waterfront property where the live oaks have stood for centuries, the Intracoastal becomes your backyard, and the Atlantic Ocean sits on the horizon. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare, and once developed, it is unlikely another property quite like it will become available in this area again.
