This property is such a rare find! This beautiful 5.9 acre tract of mostly cleared land (3.5 marsh, 2.4 high per deed) on the Old Topsail Creek Sound provides an unparalleled opportunity to build your dream home with expansive sunrise-facing water views in the rear, and mature Oak Trees in the front and a private pond in the front. You'll quickly understand the value of this land when you walk around the lot and realize how quiet and peaceful this location is. Building your home within this community could provide the tranquility you may seek, while simultaneously providing the convenience of being near everything Hampstead has to offer, including a commute to Wilmington or a short drive to Topsail Beach. On the side of the front of the property sits a 2-car garage which was designed with the potential to be converted. It has a 28'x32' footprint, with a 9'x28' area for kitchen and bathroom in the rear and a 11'x32' lofted space above with a 7' ceiling. Electric is in place as well as plumbing, however water and septic access would potentially need to be re-developed. Property, including the garage, is being sold as-is. The original house structure was recently demo'd due to deferred maintenance and interior condition. The community boat ramp/marina is directly across the street down Howards Lane. There are 40 slips for rent to the 120 property owners but with an extensive wait list. However, the ramp provides easy access for trailering your boat from your lot. Don't wait on this one! A rare opportunity that is priced to sell. Cannot be subdivided due to covenants.
