An opportunity to own nearly 4 acres this close to the water without giving up convenience, privacy, or modern updates. Located just around the corner from the local favorite Inlet View Bar & Grill, 1039 Bay Road SW offers the kind of property buyers spend years waiting for. Updated brick ranch with room to breathe, room to grow, and room to create the lifestyle you actually want. The beautifully updated kitchen is designed to impress, featuring quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, a 6-burner chef-style gas stove, and an oversized pantry/laundry space that adds both functionality and storage rarely found in homes of this style.

Surrounded by mature privacy landscapes and tucked away from the road, this home blends classic brick ranch charm with fresh modern touches throughout. The setting is what truly makes this property unforgettable. With approximately 3.68 acres of usable land, the possibilities are endless. Bring your boats, RVs, trailers, equipment, hobbies, workshop dreams, chickens, gardens, or simply your need for space and freedom. There's no cookie-cutter feeling here. This property was made for someone with a vision.

An additional unfinished great room adds even more opportunity and flexibility to the property. Whether you envision a billiards room, home theater, game room, kids' play space, private gym, studio, bunk room, or ultimate entertaining area, the framework is already there for you to customize and make your own.

Finding acreage this close to the Shallotte River, waterfront dining, marinas, beaches, shopping, and everyday conveniences is becoming increasingly difficult along the Carolina coast. Enjoy the peaceful feeling of country-style living while remaining only minutes from the heart of Shallotte and a short drive to Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, and the surrounding coastal towns.

Bonus: select lawn equipment may be negotiable with an acceptable offer, making it even easier to step into and maintain this unique coastal property from day one.

Space. Privacy. Flexibility. Coastal convenience. Call to schedule your appointment today!!!
