Description

Tucked inside the private, gated enclave of The Retreat at Redd's Cove, this .77-acre lot sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway -- with sweeping views of the ICW and Surf City that stop you in your tracks. Adjacent to a deep-water canal and just steps from the community's exclusive boat ramp, the water isn't just nearby -- it's right there. Morning runs to the inlet, sunset cruises, a line in the water whenever you feel like it. This is the lot where that life actually happens.

Adjacent to a deep-water canal and just steps from the community's exclusive boat ramp, the water isn't just nearby -- it's right there. Morning runs to the inlet, sunset cruises, a line in the water whenever you feel like it. This is the lot where that life actually happens. The space and flexibility to build exactly what you've been envisioning. No compromises, no cookie-cutter floor plans -- just a rare .77-acre canvas in a gated community that already has everything in place. This lot is grandfathered in and not subject to the HOA. Direct ICW frontage. Deep-water canal access. Private, gated enclave. Views you won't find at this price point. Build now, build later -- but lots like this don't wait. Contact agent regarding additional availability of adjacent lot.
