108 Deer Cove Rd, Hampstead, NC 28443

This is a rare Wilmington-area waterfront property that marries coastal character with modern resilience. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, 108 Deer Cove Rd sits on approximately 0.66 acres and offers over 220 feet of private water frontage. The estate’s heart is the sizable renovated chef’s kitchen — premium stainless appliances including a Monogram induction cooktop, custom cabinetry and stone counters — positioned to capture a direct sightline through the main waterway toward Topsail Inlet.

The main home (3,171 SF) features four bedrooms and 3.5 baths with hardwood floors on the upper level and durable vinyl plank below. The primary suite has been carefully updated, and two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and coastal character. Modern systems reduce immediate capital needs: a metal roof installed in 2019, updated HVAC, and both main and ADU water heaters replaced recently. For energy resilience, the property includes fully owned solar panels and two Tesla Powerwalls — a compelling ongoing operating-cost advantage for coastal living.

Outdoor life is thoughtfully designed for a boating lifestyle and entertaining. A 38-foot dock with an upper fixed dock and a 12,000-lb boat lift provides immediate deep-water access (noted as about 4' depth at low tide). Multiple porches — screened and open-air — an artisan hardscape with custom firepit, outdoor stone kitchen with buried propane tank, and an outdoor shower create private, usable outdoor rooms. RV parking and hookup sit beside the garage for additional vehicle storage.

A standout feature is the separate 809-SF Accessory Dwelling Unit with its own kitchen and private entrance — ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. Practical items handled: hurricane-rated water-facing doors and several updated windows; AT&T fiber on the street; sprinkler system fed by the on-site well to reduce county water usage. Buyers should confirm FEMA flood maps, dock permits and ADU permitting as part of due diligence.

In short: a turnkey waterfront compound combining boating access, significant water frontage, resilient energy systems, and flexible living arrangements — a distinctive coastal opportunity minutes from Topsail Island and an easy drive to Wilmington.
