Nestled on 2 lush acres along the serene shores of Bogue Sound, 1843 Highway 24 in Newport, is a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath, single-story gem boasting 75 feet of waterfront with an existing bulkhead. A lovely sunroom with wide sound views, covered porch with breezy vistas, and an outdoor shower enhance the relaxed water-side lifestyle. Currently successful as a vacation rental, the property generates income while offering stunning sunrises, dolphin sightings, and sandy shore access at low tide.
Location & Lifestyle
Coastal Bliss on Bogue Sound
Located right on the water, this property delivers the ultimate coastal retreat. The bulkheaded shoreline and sandy beach at low tide create a perfect setting for relaxing, nature watching, and casual water access. Imagine afternoons stepping into the sunroom to see dolphins or egrets—a tranquil lifestyle that's both rejuvenating and picturesque .
Retreat with Convenience
Though peaceful, the home isn't isolated. It's just minutes from Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle—ideal for beach days, fishing charters, or waterfront dining. Toward the west, historic and vibrant downtowns like Morehead City and Beaufort offer eclectic shops, fresh seafood restaurants, marinas, and seasonal festivals. This blend of escapism and community access makes it a perfect investment for vacation rental or full-time use.
Schools & Community Services
Families will appreciate the proximity to educational institutions., Bogue Sound Elementary, Broad Creek Middle, and Croatan High. Local infrastructure includes paved roads, gravel carport parking, and municipal water service—combining convenience and rural charm.
Local Attractions
Just a short drive from Newport, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is a must-visit Crystal Coast attraction. Set within the scenic Theodore Roosevelt State Natural Area, the aquarium features touch tanks, playful river otters, and the state's largest saltwater tank showcasing a sunken U-boat shipwreck. It's perfect for families and nature lovers alike. Nearby, explore Fort Macon State Park, paddle the calm waters of Bogue Sound, or stroll through historic Beaufort for waterfront dining, local shops, and maritime history—all just minutes from your doorstep.
Why This Property Stands Out
- Income generating potential: Currently used as a vacation rental in this high-demand area of the Crystal Coast.
- Outdoor charm: Live oaks, sunroom, and gorgeous water views.
- Permit potential: An expired CAMA permit shows room for a future private dock with lift—could elevate boating convenience and rental appeal
1843 Highway 24 offers a unique opportunity to own a sound-front haven that marries natural beauty, contemporary flair, and robust rental potential. Situated between waterfront bliss and community amenities, it's an enticing blend of serene coastal escape and smart real estate investment.
