Savvy builders and investors, take note: this is a rare opportunity to bypass the significant costs and headaches of starting from scratch in the 4x4 area. Located in the highly coveted X flood zone—which typically eliminates the requirement for flood insurance—this 1/3-acre Swan Beach lot provides a massive head start for construction. With the previous home removed, the property still retains its four-bedroom septic, and well, offering tens of thousands of dollars in "built-in" value. The site is perfectly positioned to capture the dual beauty of the coast, offering potential ocean views from upper levels and permanent, unobstructed views of the Currituck Wildlife Refuge. Whether you are looking to create a high-performing vacation rental or a secluded secondary escape, this property is the ultimate shortcut to coastal ownership.
