The secured, fenced area beneath the home provides a practical place for boats, kayaks, and outdoor gear while offering additional protection during storms. The waterfront is equally appealing. A floating dock with kayak lift provides easy access to the protected waters of Ned's Creek. Approximately 4-5 feet of water depth at the dock is well suited for a small boat, kayaks, and other watercraft. From here, explore the quiet creeks and waterways leading toward the Pungo and Pamlico Rivers. The nearby River Rat Yacht Club adds to the appeal for those who enjoy life on the water. Additional updates include a new septic pump in 2026.Unrestricted and with no HOA, this property offers the freedom and privacy that are increasingly difficult to find--a wooded waterfront retreat where you can slow down, enjoy nature, and make the water part of everyday life.
