This extraordinary offering includes three iconic oceanfront homes—The Mark Twain, The Hemingway, and The Fitzgerald—featuring a combined 46 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, and accommodations for up to 98 guests. Recently reimagined with extensive updates throughout all three residences, the estate blends refreshed interiors, modern finishes, and thoughtfully enhanced gathering spaces with the timeless appeal that has made it a sought-after destination for luxury vacations, weddings, retreats, and special events. Each home offers private pools, hot tubs, gourmet kitchens, game rooms, multiple indoor and outdoor gathering areas, ocean access, and sweeping views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound. A proven income-producing asset, the property consistently generates seven-figure annual rental revenue. Owners benefit from the rare flexibility of renting the homes individually or together, maximizing occupancy opportunities across a variety of guest sizes and event types. All three homes are located in X Flood Zones, FEMA's lowest-risk classification, with no flood insurance required, and the estate includes a private on-site water treatment facility providing long-term infrastructure stability and independence. The Mark Twain offers 18 bedrooms, 14 full baths, 2 half baths, and 10,543 square feet; The Hemingway offers 14 bedrooms, 13 full baths, 2 half baths, and 7,605 square feet; and The Fitzgerald offers 14 bedrooms, 9 full baths, 2 half baths, and 7,143 square feet. Combining unmatched scale, proven performance, and an irreplaceable oceanfront setting where wild horses still roam, The Three Authors represents a truly rare opportunity to own one of the most remarkable hospitality and investment properties on the East Coast.
