You don't want to miss this rare opportunity to build your dream home on the highest elevation street in all of Oceanside Southern Shores. Fourth Avenue is a picturesque cul-de-sac with private ocean access just 100 yards away from this lot. This locale is just one you cannot recreate, especially with the land prepared for you in advance. Your spacious floorplan (3500 sq. ft+) and outdoor living space with pool awaits. See potential house plan in associated docs to get a feel. Compared to other single-family homes on the market in Duck and Southern Shores, you can build with high end finishes and appliances, and STILL be under most asking prices and have a BRAND NEW home. Town of Southern Shores allows for accessory dwelling to be built on the property as well, meaning you can build a mother-in-law suite, or a rental to bring in income. Situated on a large "X" flood zone lot with highest elevation on the street and measures just under a ½ acre. Being in an "X" flood zone, flood insurance is not required. Optional membership in the Southern Shores Civic Assoc. ($65/yr.) allows access to marinas, a sound-side beach, parks, and social activities. Tennis and Boat Club memberships are also available for a small annual fee. This property has been cleared, a small concrete pad (used for parking) remains, county water tap already in place, saving approximately $3,000 when a new home is built.
