Escape to your own slice of coastal heaven at this charming waterfront retreat in the highly desirable Escoba Bay subdivision of Sneads Ferry, NC! This unique equestrian and water-access community offer the best of both worlds: direct waterfront living plus community amenities like a horse stable, pool, playground, boat ramp, clubhouse, and RV/boat storage. Nestled along the calm, protected waters of Charles Creek, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (approx. 1,462 sq ft, built 1996) provides effortless access to boating, fishing, kayaking, and exceptional nature observation. Enjoy abundant wildlife viewing right from your backyard or dock--spot graceful river otters playing along the shores, diverse bird species (including wading birds like herons and egrets, kingfishers diving for prey, and seasonal waterfowl), schools of fish teeming in the creek, and other coastal critters in this rich estuarine ecosystem. Charles Creek's serene, connected waters lead seamlessly to the New River and Intracoastal Waterway, offering endless opportunities for peaceful wildlife encounters, dolphin sightings, and eco-adventures. Step inside to an inviting open layout with comfortable living spaces, natural light, and easy flow for family gatherings or quiet relaxation. Practical coastal features include a fully encapsulated crawlspace for added protection and efficiency, completed by Coastal Crawlspace, plus a vast covered under-house storage area ideal for boats, gear, tools, seasonal items, and more. Outdoor living is exceptional--relax on the brand-new deck with sunset views and al fresco meals while watching wildlife glide by, enjoy bug-free lounging in the spacious screened-in porch (perfect for birdwatching or otter spotting), and rinse off after water activities with the convenient hot/cold outside shower. The standout is your private boat dock and boat lift right in the backyard, ready for quick launches onto Charles Creek's protected waters and prime fishing spots. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage, central air, ample parking, and the full suite of Escoba Bay perks--including the community horse stable for equestrian lovers. Minutes from Sneads Ferry's shops, restaurants, and military conveniences, yet peacefully tucked away. Your boat (and horse!) await--don't miss this rare opportunity to own direct Charles Creek water access with equestrian community vibes and abundant nature observation in Sneads Ferry!
