Along the North Carolina coast, finding a property like this is extraordinarily rare. Set beneath a canopy of centuries-old live oaks, this rare coastal waterfront bluff overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway, marshes, New River Inlet, and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Few mainland homesites along this stretch of coast offer the combination of elevation, views, and natural beauty found here. Unlike much of coastal waterfront North Carolina, this property sits 18 feet above sea level, creating the opportunity to build a single-story home on slab without the expense and inconvenience of elevated construction. The bluff is defined by magnificent live oaks that frame the water and create a setting that feels as though it has been untouched for generations. Boat dock potential exists subject to state and federal permitting, a consultant has already reviewed the site. From here, the Atlantic Ocean is only minutes away through New River Inlet. The property is served by county water, includes a 6 bedroom septic permit and new survey, is accessed by a private easement from Flamingo Lane, and is not subject to an HOA. Protective covenants are in place to preserve the character of the property and ensure future improvements reflect the quality of the setting. The waters surrounding this bluff were once part of the route traveled by the Civil War gunboat USS Ellis during one of Onslow County's most notable naval engagements. Today, however, the story is far more peaceful--defined by coastal breezes, abundant wildlife, passing boats, and some of the most remarkable waterfront views on the North Carolina coast. Generational waterfront property where the live oaks have stood for centuries, the Intracoastal becomes your backyard, and the Atlantic Ocean sits on the horizon. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare, and once developed, it is unlikely another property quite like it will become available in this area again.

Covered and open-air gathering spaces invite you to enjoy breathtaking sunsets across Topsail Sound, morning coffee with gentle coastal breezes, or evenings entertaining beneath the Carolina sky.

Some homes are built. This one was envisioned. Designed from the ground up as a coastal landmark and named before a single shingle was laid, The Crow's Nest Cottage rose along the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway not as a house to live in, but as a life to step into. Recognized by Ideal Living Magazine as their 2017 Home of the Year, it is the only home in this community that carries that distinction. It's also the ONLY available home directly on the ICW in the neighborhood. If you have spent years building toward something and now find yourself ready to live in a home that reflects all of it, you have arrived at the right address. You have not settled. You have not compromised. You have simply stopped looking, because the home you described to yourself exists and it is here. You pass through the gated entrance of Summerhouse on Everett Bay and something shifts. The pace slows. By the time you pull onto the widened driveway and take in the silhouette against the Carolina sky, you already know this is not a showing. It is a homecoming. The main living level holds an open kitchen, dining, and living space anchored by a built-in fireplace, intimate by design, intentionally warm, and framed by views that pull your eye straight to the water. A main-floor guest suite with private bath means the people you love never feel like guests. Fresh paint throughout, top to bottom, inside and out. This home is not waiting to be made ready. It is ready. The kitchen was designed for someone who cooks with intention: GE Cafe double oven, pot filler, second island prep sink, soft-close cabinetry throughout. The primary suite was designed for someone who has earned unhurried mornings: tray ceilings with recessed lighting, walk-in tile shower with floor-to-ceiling tile, body jets and rain head, soaking tub, private water closet, and a large walk-in closet. Three full levels plus a fourth-level crow's nest with mini fridge. Elevator serviced April 2026. Climb to the widow's walk and the Intracoastal opens beneath you. The view that stops conversation, makes people put their phone down, and that you will never stop noticing no matter how long you live here. That is the point. Constructed to VE flood zone standards, the most stringent coastal classification available. Roof rejuvenated 2025 with new metal boots, sealed ridges, and a transferrable five-year roof seal guarantee; displaced shingles repaired at no cost. Three independent HVAC systems on active HCS service contract through year-end; third-floor unit includes built-in dehumidifier and an additional six inches of blown insulation across all attic spaces. Whole-home generator with full year of service paid, weekly self-diagnostics to Generator Superstore, and automatic dispatch for any issues. Two owned propane tanks convey. Right-side garage fully conditioned. Storm doors on the second and third levels; storm shutters on the crow's nest level; hurricane shutters on double doors. Ecobee smart thermostats with additional motion sensors. Exterior cameras convey. Fridge, washer, and dryer included. Option to purchase furnished. Summerhouse on Everett Bay amenities include resort pool with lazy river, clubhouse, fitness center, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, 18 miles of walking and biking trails, a boat ramp, dock and kayak launch on King's Creek, community day slips, dock, and kayak launch directly on the ICW. Topsail Island is just down the road. This is not a community that simply surrounds a body of water. It is a community built around a way of life, and this home, more than any other on the waterway, was purpose-built to anchor it. There is a version of your search that ends today. Not because you settled. Because the home you envisioned actually exists. The Crow's Nest Cottage is that home.
