This lovely buildable lot is located in Island Forest, a small private subdivision consisting of 18 lots on two cul-de-sac public, paved streets, with curb cuts and charming street lamps. The location of this lot is ideal: it backs up to a pond. Thus, you have privacy (no one will build in your backyard) and can enjoy the peacefulness of the quiet mornings and evenings, watching all the birds that visit the pond and listening to the ocean waves. You will even have a bird's eye view of the Carolina Beach fireworks all summer long. At 0.19 acres, this lot offers plenty of space for a multitude of outdoor living/entertaining areas, including a private pool if so desired. Due to the high elevation of this lot, no flood insurance is required, and you can build heated square footage on the ground floor! Municipal water and sewer is available, and the yearly HOA fees are a low $350/year. Island Forest is centrally located and close to all Carolina Beach amenities: only a quick walk/bike ride to local restaurants and stores; and minutes away from the beach, marinas, two public boat accesses, the Carolina Beach State Park, the NC State Aquarium, Fort Fisher Historic Site and State Park, and the ferry to Southport. Build your dream home on this private parcel and start enjoying the coastal Carolina lifestyle that Island Forest and Pleasure Island has to offer.
