A Rare 4.5-Acre Coastal Estate in Historic Kitty Hawk Village. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare in Kitty Hawk Village. Set on approximately 4.5 acres of land surrounded by salt marsh, natural beauty, and coastal serenity, 889 Emeline Lane offers a unique combination of privacy, flexibility, and future potential that is difficult to find on the Outer Banks. Included in the sale is the adjacent buildable lot at 893 Emeline Lane, a cleared parcel of approximately 22,000 square feet, creating an extraordinary opportunity for those seeking additional homesites, investment potential, equestrian use, or simply room to spread out and enjoy a more peaceful way of life. The property feels like a step back to an earlier era of the Outer Banks, when large tracts of land, winding driveways, and quiet surroundings were part of everyday life. As you arrive, the sense of space and privacy is immediately apparent. Backing to expansive salt marsh and overlooking a peaceful canal, the setting is rich with wildlife, coastal views, and the kind of natural beauty that invites you to slow down and relax.
The one-owner home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved over the years. Built in 1988 on a solid block foundation, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers approximately 2,400 square feet of comfortable living space. The ground level features a spacious garage with abundant storage and convenient access to the home. The main living level is bright and inviting, with large windows that bring in natural light and showcase the surrounding views. Multiple living spaces, including a den and living room, provide flexibility for gathering and entertaining, while the kitchen, dining area, laundry room, guest bedroom, and full bath create a functional everyday layout. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with open sun decks, covered decks, and a screened porch overlooking the private backyard and beautiful saltwater pool. The top floor offers three additional bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, private bath, and its own covered deck where you can enjoy panoramic views of the marsh and surrounding landscape. Whether enjoying morning coffee, watching the changing colors of sunset, or simply listening to the sounds of nature, this private retreat captures the essence of coastal living. While the home itself is a wonderful residence, the true distinction of this property lies in the land and the possibilities it creates. Zoned Village Commercial (VC-2), the property offers flexibility for a variety of residential and commercial uses while preserving the character and charm that make Kitty Hawk Village so special. The acreage may offer opportunities for further subdivision, additional homesites, small-scale development, or other creative uses subject to local approvals. Horses are also permitted, opening the door to an equestrian lifestyle rarely available on the Outer Banks.
Despite its peaceful and secluded feel, the location is remarkably convenient. Tucked away in the heart of Kitty Hawk Village, the property feels miles removed from the crowds, yet beaches, restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences are only minutes away. Whether your vision is a private coastal estate, a family compound, an investment opportunity, or a property with room to grow and evolve over time, 889 Emeline Lane presents a truly unique opportunity to own one of the most versatile and distinctive pieces of property in Kitty Hawk.
