2256 Sandpiper Rd offers a quiet 4th row setting in the northern 4x4 area of Carova Beach, where open dunes, wide skies, and the sound of the ocean shape the pace of daily life. This 1/3 acre homesite sits in the X flood zone and features a level terrain with natural Live Oak trees, adding both character and a sense of privacy. With no HOA, electric available, and a prec test already for a 4-bedroom house, the property provides a practical starting point for future planning. The beach access is roughly 200 feet away at the end of the street, making it easy to reach the shoreline for sunrise walks, beach driving, or time spent along the water. Access to the community is by 4x4 vehicle, as there are no paved roads, which helps preserve the low density, off the beaten path feel that defines Carova. The surrounding landscape includes maritime vegetation and open space, and it’s common to see pelicans gliding along the surf, dolphins just offshore, and the Corolla Wild Horses moving through the dunes. The location also offers convenient proximity to soundside exploration and the amenities of Corolla to the south. With Currituck County oversight and a natural setting that emphasizes privacy and simplicity, this homesite provides a relaxed foundation for anyone drawn to the quieter side of Outer Banks coastal living.

Beautiful 4th row lot in Carova Beach with a beautiful Live Oak canopy conveniently located close to a corner with direct beach access. Property is in the desired X flood zone. This lot lends itself to great privacy within the live oak trees but with a two story house you could see the ocean above the treeline giving you the best of both worlds. This lot is a must see.
