0 Mashoes Road, Manns Harbor, NC, 27953

Just North of the old Manns Harbor bridge on the western shore of the Croatan Sound in the wind swept and weather worn hammocks of Davis's Beach lies one of the most unique opportunities in Dare County. You can own over 540 acres of waterfront wilderness with black bears, bald eagles and speckled trout being your closest neighbors. In the midst of the wilderness and nestled in the live oaks is a quaint 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage overlooking the sound to the east and the Davis Pond to the west. This expansive offering is comprised of 3 tax parcels that run from Reeds Point to an island across the mouth of Mashoes Creek and it backs up into the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. As you can imagine, the views from inside the cottage or outside on either of the 2 screened porches or open deck are amazing. It is really hard to believe that a property with this much escape factor is this close to the Outer Banks. It is accessed by boat only and it's a short ride from the public boat ramp at the foot of the Manns Harbor bridge. The private and protected dock is in the Davis Pond on the west side of the home is partially covered by the canopy of a live oak draped in Spanish moss. It's the Coastal Carolina scene that so many folks are searching for. Once you are settled in it will feel like you are a 1000 miles from nowhere and yet you are literally just a few minutes from all that the Outer Banks has to offer. The cottage itself is an A frame beach box design with an open living/dining/kitchen area and the 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are accessed from one central hallway. Many remote cottages like this are powered by a generator. Surprisingly, there is underground power running all the way from Mashoes Road to this one so you won't have to haul fuel to run the HVAC, microwave, refrigerator or any other appliances. The finished pine floors are gorgeous and are found throughout the cottage except for the bathrooms which both have tile. The cottage and it's setting offer a tremendous amount of recreational possibilities as well as Airbnb options. Right out the front door of this cozy cottage, the speckled trout and striped bass can fishing can be as good as anywhere in the state at times.
