Welcome to the Green Duck Lodge, premier income producing vacation rental and hunting/fishing lodge located in Hyde County, one of North Carolina's most abundant homes to a variety of wildlife. From the colorful array of seabirds and fish to copious populations of black bear and migrating ducks, Engelhard attracts a large number of visitors each year for hunting, fishing, birdwatching and many other outdoor adventures. This fully furnished 4BR 1BA Lodge is completely turnkey. The Green Duck also includes 2 additional waterfront lots on Far Creek (for a total of 1.9 acres) with public water and sewer available. No HOA, no restrictions! Ideal investment opportunity for expanding, parking boats/trailers, or for an RV/camper spot. With over $21,000 of income generated in the last 7 months, this property is not only consistent, but full of historic charm. Built in 1933, the Green Duck offers original tongue and groove walls and ceilings, classic farmhouse sink, and a cozy screened in porch, which is perfect for sipping your morning cup of coffee or soaking in a vibrant, Down East sunset. Recent updates include 2 multi-unit mini split systems, updated electrical, dryer hookup, WIFI installation, gravel driveway, custom outdoor mural, and deep freezer. Located in the heart of Engelhard, this property is less than a mile from the public boat ramp for the Pamlico Sound, right at 5 miles to the Hyde County airport, approximately 50 minutes to the beautiful Outer Banks beaches, 30 minutes to the Ocracoke Ferry Terminal, and just 15 minutes to the shores of Lake Mattamuskeet. Green Duck guests rave about the thoughtfully curated antiques and rustic decor which make this house feel like home. They also enjoy being able to fish for drum and speckled trout as well as catch renowned NC blue crab right from the banks of the creek. Not to mention, it is in close proximity to a variety of local retail establishments and restaurants. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to add lodging options for a hunting club, own an established AirBNB/VRBO (https://airbnb.com/h/thegreenducklodge) short term rental, or use as a primary residence with room to expand!

Charming four bedroom cottage in the heart of Engelhard. Tongue and groove ceilings, walls and lots of windows. Original 5 panel doors, antique door knobs and even the skeleton keys. Farm house sink, original cabinets and a big screened in front porch to sit on and enjoy the evening breezes. The floor plan is so efficient and the house has such a spacious feel. Nice out building to add that extra storage space, or maybe a man cave or she shed! Life in Engelhard doesn't get much better than this!
