Experience the rare harmony of luxury and untamed nature in this fabulous four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom coastal retreat. Built in 2017 and perched on a prime corner semi-oceanfront lot, this home offers a front-row seat to the remote beauty of Carova Beach, where North Carolina’s famous wild horses still roam the dunes. Spanning just under 2, 000 square feet, the home features a thoughtful reverse floor plan designed to "live large" and maximize the breathtaking horizon. The interior is meticulously maintained, finished with elegant engineered wood flooring and sophisticated bullnose corners throughout, blending modern durability with high-end architectural style. To make the transition even more seamless, this home comes fully furnished (with minor owner exclusions), allowing you to begin enjoying the beach life immediately. For added peace of mind, the property has been exceptionally cared for, and a recent pre-listing home inspection has already been performed and is available for review. The journey begins on the mid-level, where three spacious bedrooms serve as private escapes. Each room enjoys direct access to a massive shaded deck, a sanctuary of its own featuring hammocks and porch swings where you can be lulled by the rhythmic sound of breaking waves. Among these is a beautiful en suite with a custom tile shower, while the additional two bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath. As you move toward the top level, you are greeted by a convenient half-bath and laundry area on the landing before emerging into the spectacular great room. This top-floor living space is defined by soaring vaulted ceilings and a dramatic wall of windows and sliders that frame the Atlantic Ocean, flooding the elegant living area with natural light. The heart of the home is the open-concept chef’s kitchen, perfectly equipped for large gatherings with a massive granite eat-in island, premium stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, and a dedicated ice maker. This level also hosts the primary suite, a luxurious oasis featuring a custom-tiled bathroom and private deck access for watching the sunrise. For those who love the outdoors, the top level offers a choice between a breezy, screened-in porch for shaded dining and an expansive east-side sun deck where you can soak in the sights and sounds of the surf. Being situated on a corner lot, the adventure is just steps away; you can walk or drive your 4x4 vehicle directly over the dune to the shoreline. After a day on the sand, the outdoor amenities provide the ultimate convenience, featuring a private pool, a bubbling hot tub, and a rare outdoor half-bath and shower to keep the sand at bay. While this home is an ideal family legacy property, it is also a proven powerhouse for investors. It has operated as a highly popular vacation rental, consistently producing between $90, 000 and $100, 000 in advertised gross income while only being rented from mid-May to mid-October. Whether you are seeking a high-performance investment or a secluded beach getaway, this Carova gem offers a lifestyle that is truly one of a kind.
