About this home

One of the Last Remaining Homesites in Downtown Manteo, North Carolina. Opportunities like this are becoming exceptionally rare. Nestled within one of Manteo's premier waterfront communities, this 0.17± acre homesite is one of only two remaining buildable lots, offering the chance to build your dream coastal home in one of the most sought-after destinations on North Carolina's Outer Banks. This community overlooks the beautiful waters of Shallowbag Bay and Roanoke Sound, offering more than just a homesite--it offers an unmatched coastal lifestyle. Imagine beginning your mornings watching spectacular sunrises over the sound, spending afternoons boating or fishing, and ending your evenings with a walk along the waterfront boardwalk. The community provides direct access to more than 1.4 miles of scenic waterfront boardwalks and docks, along with a multi-slip marina, making it easy to enjoy everything the surrounding waters have to offer. Whether your passion is sailing, boating, kayaking, or fishing, the adventure begins just steps from your front door. Location is everything, and this property places you within walking distance of historic downtown Manteo, one of the most charming waterfront towns on the East Coast. Enjoy locally owned restaurants, waterfront dining, coffee shops, boutiques, art galleries, bookstores, and specialty shops while embracing the slower pace and welcoming atmosphere that have made Manteo a favorite destination for generations. Throughout the year, downtown Manteo comes alive with farmers markets, outdoor concerts, waterfront festivals, holiday celebrations, and community events. From your front door, you'll have a front-row seat to many of the town's most cherished traditions, including the beloved Christmas Parade that passes directly by the community and the spectacular Fourth of July and New Year's Eve fireworks over Shallowbag Bay. Living in Manteo also means having the very best of the Outer Banks at your fingertips. Spend your days exploring miles of pristine beaches, world-class fishing, historic lighthouses, the Wright Brothers National Memorial, The Lost Colony, Jockey's Ridge State Park, and countless opportunities for boating, surfing, paddleboarding, birdwatching, and coastal adventure. While millions of visitors travel to the Outer Banks each year for vacation, only a fortunate few have the opportunity to call this remarkable place home. Perhaps the greatest value of this property is its rarity. With only two buildable lots remaining in this desirable waterfront community, opportunities like this may not come again. As available homesites in downtown Manteo continue to disappear, finding a property that combines walkability, waterfront amenities, marina access, stunning views, and proximity to the heart of town has become increasingly difficult.
