191 Old Carteret Road Smyrna, NC 28579

New Price $199,000 | Your Crystal Coast Weekend Getaway Starts Here Imagine Friday afternoons launching your boat from your own private ramp, spending the weekend on the water, and coming home to a low-maintenance coastal retreat that costs less than most new cars. That is exactly what 191 Old Carteret Road offers -- and at $199,000, it is one of the most affordable paths to a deeded waterfront lifestyle on the Crystal Coast. Built in 2023 to coastal-grade specifications -- Wind Zone III, Exposure D, 2×6 walls, and an overbuilt FEMA-rated foundation -- this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home was engineered to handle the Down East environment without the constant upkeep that older coastal properties demand. Everything is new, everything works, and the appliances and partial furnishings convey, so you can be on the water your first weekend. The crown jewel is the deeded access to a private boat ramp just 150 feet from the front door. Private ramp access in this price range on the Crystal Coast is genuinely rare -- most buyers spend years and significant money trying to secure it. Here, it comes with the deed. Core Sound, Cape Lookout National Seashore, and the open waters of the Crystal Coast are minutes away. Down East Carteret County is one of the last authentically unhurried corners of the North Carolina coast -- no traffic, no crowds, no HOA telling you what color to paint your shutters. Just water, wildlife, and the kind of quiet that is getting harder to find. Whether you are looking for a weekend fishing camp, a low-cost second home, or a seasonal rental investment, 191 Old Carteret Road delivers the Crystal Coast lifestyle at a price that makes sense. Priced to sell at $199,000. Come see it before someone else does.
