Tucked away on a private 1.25-acre homesite in the sought-after Pelican Reef community, this is the kind of property buyers wait for--and rarely find.
Set along the marsh with sweeping views of Virginia Creek, the home offers a level of privacy and natural beauty that's becoming increasingly hard to come by. Mornings unfold slowly here, with coffee on the porch as the marsh comes to life, and evenings settle in with quiet skies and water just beyond the trees.
Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows, pulling the outdoors in and creating a calm, easy flow throughout the home. The screened porch becomes an extension of the living space--perfect for everything from quiet afternoons to gathering with friends--while the surrounding landscape offers a sense of stillness you simply can't recreate.
The layout is both functional and intentional, with a main-level primary suite designed for everyday comfort and guest spaces upstairs that offer privacy and flexibility, including a private upper deck that captures the same peaceful setting from above.
For those who value space, water, and a setting that feels removed yet still connected, Pelican Reef continues to stand out--and opportunities here are few and far between.
Just minutes to Surf City beaches and a short drive to Wilmington, this is more than a home--it's a shift in pace, a long-term investment in lifestyle, and a rare chance to secure something truly special.
104 West High Bluff is the kind of place you don't just visit--you hold onto.
