What an incredible opportunity to own nearly a full acre of prime waterfront real estate on Harkers Island! Boasting absolutely breathtaking, unobstructed views of Back Sound, Shackleford Banks, and the iconic Cape Lookout Lighthouse, this property offers the ultimate Crystal Coast lifestyle with zero HOA restrictions. Built to stand the test of time, this sturdy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick ranch was constructed high in 1981. According to the original owner, the home has never experienced flooding issues. The interior provides a fantastic blank canvas, offering you the perfect opportunity to remodel and customize the space to your exact tastes and specifications. Outside, the property truly shines. A massive 24x40 metal shop with power is ready to store your boat, RV, or serve as the ultimate coastal workshop. The grounds have been well maintained, with recent grading and fresh dirt brought in to ensure excellent drainage. Your furry friends will love the fully fenced front yard, while the sprawling backyard provides endless room for outdoor entertaining, yard games, and storing your coastal toys. Additionally, there is an existing feature on the property that is ready to be repaired and restored to your standards. Properties of this size, offering this level of privacy, elevation, and sweeping water views are a true rarity on Harkers Island. Bring your vision and your boat!
