Positioned in the X flood zone, the property provides meaningful spacing and privacy, including A 10 foot easement along the south side that adds additional spacing and flexibility when planning future use.With the beach access located at the end of the block, the shoreline is only a short walk or drive away, yet the lot maintains the sense of quiet that defines this part of the 4x4 beaches. Based on the lot’s elevation and orientation, a thoughtfully designed three story home or rooftop deck could offer both ocean and sound views. The area reflects the natural character of Carova — low-density surroundings, open dunes, and a landscape shaped by the rhythm of the Atlantic. It’s common to see wild horses moving through the area, pelicans overhead, and dolphins offshore during calm mornings. Access requires a 4x4 vehicle, offering a more intentional coastal lifestyle where privacy and connection to the environment come naturally. From Swan Beach, you’re close to both ocean and paved-side exploration, with Corolla’s dining, shopping, and conveniences a short drive to the south once you reach the paved road. A property well suited for those seeking space, seclusion, and the opportunity to create a retreat within one of the Outer Banks’ most distinctive coastal settings.
