Residential Land for Sale in Emerald Isle, North Carolina
119 James Dr, Emerald Isle, NC 28594
Vacant lots on Emerald Isle are disappearing--and 119 James Drive is your chance to claim one. This oceanside, .275-acre corner homesite has been held by the same family for 50 years--now ready for its next chapter. Wooded, gently rolling, and positioned for design flexibility, it's the ideal canvas for a custom coastal build. Already in motion: a 4-bedroom septic application--giving you a head start on bringing your vision to life. Flood Zone X so flood insurance is not required by lenders (optional) - another peace of mind. Just ten lots to the beach, with convenient beach access at James & Ocean Drive (golf cart parking, bike rack, and space for beach gear), the lifestyle here is effortless. Literal footsteps to the Emerald Isle bike path, make walking, jogging or biking to the Bogue Inlet Pier, restaurants, arcade, and ice cream shoppes SO easy. A boater? The NC Wildlife Boating Access with 4 launching lanes and 112+ parking spaces is less than a 5 minute drive away. Build what you want. Own where you want. While you still can.
