46 raeford street

A premier canal-front home site on the desirable east-facing side of Raeford Street. This specific location is a favorite for those who know the island well, as it provides natural shade from the hot afternoon sun. Raeford Street remains one of the most highly sought-after addresses on the island because it offers both a community beach entrance on the street and direct inlet access to the ICW at the end of the canal. This makes the location a dream for boaters and beach lovers alike, providing the rare ability to reach the sand or deep water in minutes. A standout feature of this property is the existing 16 x 30 in-ground concrete pool. For those who prioritize outdoor living, this is a massive advantage; because the pool is grandfathered in, and it sits within the 30-foot CAMA setback where a new pool likely could not be built today. (This should be verified with the Town of Ocean Isle Beach and CAMA.) This offers the unique opportunity to design a custom home around an established, oversized private pool that is already perfectly placed and fully enclosed with a vinyl fence. Alternatively, for those looking for a completely blank slate, the site can be cleared to support a brand-new build. With a private dock already in place, your transition to the water is effortless regardless of your building plans. Whether you are looking to preserve the existing amenities or start fresh among the beautiful homes that make this street so special, this site offers a clear head start on the island lifestyle. Start your next chapter on the water with a property that provides both incredible flexibility and a premier location.
