Discover one of the last remaining chances to build a new waterfront home in Historic Bath, NC—North Carolina's first town and once the home of the infamous pirate Blackbeard. This rare waterfront lot on South Main Street, perfectly positioned on beautiful Bath Creek, offers deep, sailboat-accessible water with a bulkhead and pier already in place, making it ideal for boaters and coastal living enthusiasts. The building portion of this lot is high and outside the flood zone, already cleared, and showcases spectacular views across the creek. While the lot is modest in size, it will comfortably accommodate a home, and the current owners are willing to share custom house plans they designed specifically for this site with serious buyers. Municipal sewer is projected to be available in August 2026, and both water and sewer tap fees have already been paid, saving the new owner significant upfront expenses. Opportunities to build a new waterfront residence in Historic Bath are exceedingly scarce, making this property especially valuable for anyone seeking a serene coastal retreat with history at its doorstep. This lot also comes with a wealth of interesting local history, and we are happy to share its stories with prospective buyers. With its prime location, deep water access, and unmatched historical setting, this property is a truly unique offering—an exceptional place to bring your waterfront dreams to life.
