Property Description

Opportunities like this don’t come along often in Waves. This is a truly rare chance to own over 2.23 acres of soundfront property in one of the most sought-after kiteboarding destinations on Hatteras Island. This unique offering includes two parcels. The homesite at 25796 NC 12 Highway features approximately 20,000 square feet and an existing 1,561 sq ft home, but the real value here is in the land and the possibilities it brings. The second parcel, located just to the north, adds an additional 1.7665 acres of pristine soundfront, creating a combined footprint that is hard to find and even harder to replicate. Stretching out toward the Pamlico Sound, this property offers direct access to shallow, sandy-bottom waters that kiteboarders dream about. You are just minutes from the famous Slick and REAL Watersports, making this an unbeatable location for water sports enthusiasts. With S-1 zoning, the options here are wide open. Create a private waterfront estate with room to spread out, design a small cluster home development, or explore the potential to subdivide into multiple soundfront homesites. The acreage, the setting, and the zoning flexibility make this a standout investment opportunity. Right in the heart of Waves, you are close to everything that makes this area so special, including local favorites like Good Winds and Waterman’s. Rodanthe Beach Access is just minutes away, offering parking, a bathhouse, outdoor showers, picnic tables, and seasonal lifeguards. You are also a short drive south to ORV beach access in Salvo, perfect for exploring miles of shoreline by vehicle. Whether you are dreaming of a one-of-a-kind waterfront compound or looking for your next development project, this property checks all the boxes. Wide open views, direct sound access, and endless potential right here on Hatteras Island.
