Located in a sought-after coastal setting, this new listing from Trisha Midgett and Team offers a rare chance to step into a project that already has momentum.

A Head Start on a High-Return Investment

One of the biggest advantages here is that the groundwork has already been done for you. A site plan by WithersRavenel and building plans from Florez Design are in place for four thoughtfully designed townhomes, saving you time and getting you closer to breaking ground.

Each planned unit features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, approximately 2,000 square feet of living space, and an additional 400 square feet of covered outdoor living.

The designs are tailored for today’s vacation rental market, with open layouts, private hot tubs, and dedicated parking, all positioned to maximize those beautiful soundfront views.

Built for Rental Performance

This property checks the boxes investors are looking for in the Outer Banks rental market. The layout and amenities are designed to attract guests and drive bookings.

Each unit includes private hot tubs, four dedicated parking spaces, and spacious indoor and outdoor living areas.

Add in the soundfront setting, and you have a product that stands out in a competitive rental landscape.

Community Amenities Add Value

Beyond the homes themselves, the community amenities bring even more appeal for both renters and owners.

Owners and guests will enjoy an outdoor pool, soundfront pier, and a launch area for kiteboarding and paddleboarding.

These features enhance the guest experience and help support strong rental income potential, especially with the Outer Banks’ growing popularity for water sports like kiting and SUP.

Flexible Development Options

Flexibility is another major advantage here. While plans are in place for four townhomes, the property allows for alternative configurations as long as density remains the same.

Potential options include one large 16-bedroom home, two 8-bedroom homes, or continuing with the four 4-bedroom townhome plan.

This gives investors the ability to tailor the project to their specific investment strategy, whether that’s maximizing rental income, creating a multi-family retreat, or building for resale.

SUP Approval Timeline Already Underway

The Special Use Permit process is already in motion, with a public hearing scheduled for April and final approval expected in May.

Once approved, there will be a two-year window to pull building permits, giving you time to plan, adjust, and move forward at your own pace.

Why This Outer Banks Investment Stands Out

In today’s market, it’s rare to find a property that offers soundfront views, development-ready plans, flexible building options, strong rental appeal, and established community amenities.

This is the kind of opportunity that allows you to step in with a clear path forward while still having room to make it your own.
