Commanding a rare and impressive 3.25 acres with over 125 feet of direct Atlantic Ocean frontage, this premier parcel represents the "Crown Jewel" of this exclusive five-lot subdivision. Originally hand-selected by the developer for its superior scale and positioning, the property offers a level of privacy and potential that is hard to find elsewhere in the Corolla off-road area. While most oceanfront offerings in the 4x4 territory are confined to standard 2/3-acre footprints, this expansive estate provides ample room to build within the coveted X Flood Zone. This low-risk development area offers significant advantages for construction and long-term insurance, making it an ideal canvas for a world-class luxury retreat or a high-performance vacation rental.
The investment value is further solidified by the inclusion of an adjacent western open-space parcel, conveyed with the sale to serve as a permanent privacy buffer. This unique configuration ensures that your natural surroundings remain undisturbed and your sanctuary is protected from future development. Whether you envision a multi-generational family compound or a sprawling, high-occupancy coastal estate, the property’s depth and acreage allow for a grand design that captures the first light of the Atlantic sunrise and expansive, 360-degree coastal vistas. Located just two miles up the beach—the perfect "sweet spot" of seclusion and convenience—the land is a frequent haven for the legendary wild horses. Recently surveyed and aggressively priced to reflect its outsized acreage and development flexibility, this is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the North Carolina coastline where the pavement ends and the legacy begins.
