Featured Home: 435 Munden Farm Road
Written by Landie Canfield
Throughout North Carolina, it’s incredible how much the geography varies, morphing from mountains, to fields, to sea in a matter of miles. The Crystal Coast boasts a diverse backdrop, too, and the vibe can vary dramatically from one destination to the next. A day at the beach searching for seashells can be enjoyed a stone’s throw from shopping in town, hiking the trails, or fishing off-shore with the family. This area is chameleon- like and malleable, suiting the needs of the many: the old, the young, the active and the quiet. One thing, though, remains constant; the possibilities are endless and the spirit is bright!
Arriving at 435 Munden Farm road is entering into another existence of wide-angle views of woods and water and calm. The long tucked-away drive leads you to a secluded home on 11 acres of privacy and natural beauty. A respite from busyness and strife, in the modern world where noise—the constant hum of traffic or appliances or people in the distance is relentless, the utter quiet here is a joy. An afternoon’s agenda might include wandering the path around the pond and casting a line (you’re sure to get a bite, it’s stocked), or watching for deer, squirrels and wild turkeys is an option, too. Adventure seekers might be tempted to climb the tower that’s on site. It’s been used for sighting boats off the coast during wartime and spotting fish in more recent years. So cool! The sugar shack is a charming addition to this acreage. It makes the sweetest guest house with its own kitchen, or visitors can cook just outside on the gas-fed fire pit and oyster table if they’d prefer. This is a great spot, too, to kick off with your kayak and float down the river.
When you’re ready to head inside to hang out or heat up by the fire you will have plenty of room to join family and friends. This home is thoughtfully designed with comfortable spaces inside and out, open areas yet still some spots to hide away if need be. Copious light and river views bring the outside in, maintaining the serenity and restful atmosphere. The owners fused eco-friendly concepts with their aesthetic, using repurposed wood floors from local school gymnasiums, ceiling beams from a nearby office-building-tear-down and a variety of old company’s doors with their original signage or mail slots preserved.
No matter who you are or where you come from, this setting is a marvel of sights and contentment. Here at Munden Farm Road, feel miles and miles away from it all, yet live so close! The perfect mix— only a couple minutes from downtown Morehead, and a world away… this property is a surprise treasure and just down the road a piece.
