3.7 Acres | 322 ft Highway 17 Frontage | RP Zoning | Pender County, NC Excellent residential or commercial development opportunity located on Highway 17 in between Highway 50 and Highway 210 East in this rapidly growing area of Mainland Surf City/Hampstead. This property provides large acreage with great exposure, and traffic counts over +/-26,500 per the DOT website. This lot is already cleared and recently mowed, with the left hand side touching the game lands, it has NO HOA and no restrictions. Located a quarter of a mile from the Lowes/Harris Teeter shopping centers, directly across the street from Evolve's newest apartment complex, and conveniently situated close to the new campground that was just approved and the final phase of Turtle Creek Subdivision, Applewood Trace. Currently only governed by Pender County, taxes are low and possibilities are high. Pender County has the site zoned RP (just like the Marine Repair Shop next door) and said 10 single family homes would fit on the site per their rules and regulations. At a meeting with Pender County on 03/19/2026 planner said the site would also be a good candidate for commercial uses with rezoning through a conditional rezoning (UDO procedures for this type of rezoning uploaded under documents). Also confirmed at the Pender County meeting that this site is not affected by the Hampstead bypass. If annexed into Surf City, C3 zoning surrounds the site (map uploaded for reference) and would be a likely assignment of zoning. Existing fire hydrant located across the street, approx 390 ft away. This is a prime location for maximum traffic exposure for north and south bound Hwy 17, and only 5 minutes drive to Topsail Island beaches and located in the Topsail School District.
