Privacy, acreage, water access, and the natural beauty of Down East living come together at 395 Nelson Neck Road in Sea Level. The home is situated on a .74-acre homesite and is being offered with two additional adjoining wooded parcels, creating a total of approximately 6.35 acres.
Built in 1965, this solid center-block home has seen several updates while maintaining its original character. Improvements include new windows, an updated hallway bathroom, hardwood floors, and fresh exterior paint. A sunroom along the front of the home provides an inviting place to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, or simply slow down and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Step outside and experience what makes this property truly special. A private dock provides direct water access, making it easy to launch a kayak and explore the surrounding creek and waterways. Spend a quiet morning paddling, watching the marsh come alive, or simply sit by the water and enjoy the sights and sounds of coastal North Carolina.
Nature is part of everyday life here. Watch for deer moving through the woods, osprey soaring overhead, and a variety of coastal birds throughout the area. Along the water, keep an eye out for crabs, fish, and other marine life that make the creeks and marshes of Down East Carteret County so unique.
The additional acreage adds another layer of privacy and possibility. An adjoining 2.55-acre wooded parcel extends to the east/northeast of the homesite, while an additional wooded parcel continues beyond it. Together, the three parcels provide approximately 6.35 acres surrounded by mature trees, natural buffers, and plenty of room to explore the outdoors.
Tucked away from the busier parts of Carteret County, 395 Nelson Neck Road offers a rare combination of acreage, woods, water access, and an authentic Down East setting. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a quiet coastal retreat, or simply more room to breathe, this property offers the opportunity to slow down, get outside, launch a kayak from your own dock, and experience the natural beauty of Sea Level.
