About this home

Sandy Bay subdivision offers 7 TROPHY waterfront lots. Lot 3 has high natural elevation of approx 8', granite breakwall installed, natural sand beach, & a large waterview that encompasses the Neuse River, the ICW & a view extending to Pamlico Sound. The natural sand beach is unique to Sandy Bay compared to most other high end lots. Sandy Bay is in the heart of the 'Inner Banks of NC'. Sited on the Neuse River this area offers extraordinary boating, sailing, cruising, fishing and hunting activities. As mentioned earlier, the ICW runs thru the Neuse River to Beaufort, NC and is only a few miles away & is visible from this lot. Whether your desire is just to be on the water with a great waterview or to cruise the world via the ICW, this lot & area is a perfect home to all who desire great waterfront. The Inner Banks has the additional advantage that while it offers great cruising & water access, its interior location on Pamlico Sound & the Neuse River, almost 40 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, offers calmer boating conditions than on the open ocean, as well as the potential for less impact from storms compared to an oceanfront lot. The nearby waterfront village of Oriental, NC is known as the 'Sailing Capitol of NC' & boasts many sailboats, powerboats & fishing trawlers in the vicinity, plus restaurants, a theatre which offers plays, movies, & music events, a strong arts community, churches & most any activity you seek. New Bern, NC to the west has airports, hospitals, great medical, & shopping. Sandy Bay has a total of 7 waterfront lots in approx 30 total acres, with almost 13+ ac in undeveloped common area & affords good privacy for each lot. Lot 3 has a primary and repair septic site on a remote lot 3A. Inquire if interested in owner finance. Buyers/Agents - Pls note Cherry Point MCAS 9+ miles away, occasional 'Sounds of Freedom.
