Completed in spring 2026, this newly constructed, soundfront retreat at 23986 NC-12 Lot 18 is designed for people who live on water time. The top-level living area opens to sweeping Pamlico Sound vistas and is intentionally arranged to put views, deck access, and evening sunsets front-and-center. The home features a reverse-floorplan with an open great room, a thoughtfully appointed kitchen with full appliance package, and direct outdoor access to elevated decks that span the water-facing façade.
Downstairs the property delivers practical, guest-ready amenities: covered parking beneath the home, dedicated storage for boards and beach gear, and easy launch access to shallow sound waters—perfect for kiteboarding, winging, paddleboarding, or launching a small kayak. There are four separately-keyed ensuite bedrooms (ideal for rental groups), multiple full baths plus a half bath for guests, and storage designed to keep equipment out of the living areas.
Built to meet modern coastal standards, the structure is elevated with an engineered ground level that creates private covered parking and abundant storage. The builder has left space on the site for a private pool if you want to increase rental revenues or create a permanent seaside amenity for family use. With no HOA and strong short-term rental demand on Hatteras Island, this home is positioned for immediate use as a vacation rental, a second home, or a primary residence for a watersports-focused family.
Location is a core asset: launch right into the Pamlico Sound from your backyard, enjoy local watersports shops and instructors nearby, and drive minutes to Rodanthe beach accesses, Good Winds, Real Watersports, and local dining. For investors, the combination of true soundfront orientation, new construction, four ensuites and efficient layout supports premium nightly rates across high and shoulder seasons.
