About this home

Welcome to the Gator Hole, a rare waterfront retreat where endless possibilities meet the natural beauty of coastal Hyde County. Set on more than two acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers a unique combination of privacy, income potential, recreation, and multi-generational living opportunities. Whether you're searching for a private family compound, an income-producing investment, a hunting and fishing lodge, vacation retreat, or a combination of all four, The Gator Hole delivers exceptional flexibility with three separate residences and an impressive collection of outbuildings and amenities. The primary residence features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, highlighted by a spacious owner's suite complete with a private office, ensuite bath, and dual walk-in closets. A welcoming foyer opens into expansive living and dining areas designed for gathering, entertaining, and making memories. Step outside to the rear deck and enjoy peaceful waterfront views, abundant wildlife, and the soothing sounds of nature that make every morning feel like a getaway. A second 3-bedroom, 2-bath home provides immediate income-producing potential and is currently utilized as a rental property. Guests and tenants alike will appreciate the inviting screened front porch--an ideal place to relax and enjoy the coastal breeze in any season. Adding even more versatility, a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath manufactured home is tucked away at the rear of the property. Perfect as a guest cottage, short-term rental, caretaker's residence, private office, or personal retreat, this additional living space creates countless opportunities for owners and investors alike. Beyond the residences, The Gator Hole truly shines with amenities that are increasingly difficult to find. Launch directly from your own private boat ramp and enjoy quick access to the Pamlico Sound, renowned for world-class fishing, boating, waterfowl hunting, and outdoor recreation. Multiple outbuildings--including a large storage building, garage, and historic crab house--offer abundant space for equipment, hobbies, workshops, boat storage, or future creative uses. RV hookups further enhance the property's flexibility for guests, travelers, or additional income opportunities. From family gatherings and waterfront adventures to rental income and future development possibilities, The Gator Hole offers a lifestyle and investment opportunity unlike anything else on the market. This is more than a property--it's a coastal legacy waiting for its next chapter.
