Rare opportunity to own a waterfront lot on a protected canal with vast, unobstructed views of the marsh, sound and waterway! From the street it might be hard to appreciate the unique and wonderful opportunity this lot offers. To truly understand the potential, you have to view it from above. The upland area on the street side is large enough to accommodate most any home. Beyond that, a beautiful wetland area hosts a multitude of local wildlife and is a stunning setting for your future boardwalk to the canal. The upland area on the canal is the ideal location for your patio, cabana, fire pit, kayak storage, boat dock - or anything else you can dream up. There's nothing like cruising along the canal and seeing your neighbors roasting marshmallows, playing corn hole, setting crab pots, or just enjoying the jaw dropping sunsets. Sandy Ridge is a lovely neighborhood just a couple miles south of the Surf City bridge. Tucked just off the main road, this charming subdivision has 2 private crosswalks to access the beach - both recently rebuilt. All the preliminary work has been done for you! Contact agent for wetland delineation, elevation certificate and proposed house plan. Builder recommendation also available. Move quickly and you could be in your stunning new home enjoying the water access and amazing sunset views by summer/fall '24!
