Land with Home for Sale in Rocky Point, North Carolina

Some properties are about the house. This one is about the land, the river, and the opportunity to make something special your own! Situated on 1.65 acres overlooking the Northeast Cape Fear River, this 1948 riverfront cottage sits atop an approximately 36-foot bluff, offering the kind of peace, privacy, and natural beauty that's getting harder to find. The property did not flood during Hurricane Florence, and with state-owned land adjoining the property and Holly Shelter Boat Ramp & Game Lands nearby, the setting is just as much a part of the appeal as the house itself. Built by the same family that has enjoyed it for generations, this approximately 1,100-square-foot cottage has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room, kitchen, and sunroom. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls, and a wood-burning fireplace that speaks to the home's history. It's not fancy, and it hasn't been dressed up to pretend otherwise. It's an old-fashioned river cottage with plenty of character and plenty of projects for its next owner. Outside, the wooded 1.65-acre setting and elevated riverfront location offer a welcome escape from busy neighborhoods and crowded waterfront communities. Located along Shaw Highway between NC Highways 53 and 210, with convenient access to I-40, you're close to the Holly Shelter Wildlife Boat Ramp, Holly Shelter Shooting Range, and thousands of acres of Holly Shelter Game Land. Whether you enjoy boating, fishing, hunting, shooting sports, or simply getting away from it all, there's plenty to explore right nearby. The private well has recently been repaired, and the HVAC system is operational following recent repairs. The home does need substantial additional work, including septic replacement, and is being offered as-is. Inspections and septic replacement authorization are available to help buyers understand the property's condition before making an offer. Offered at $239,000, this isn't a turnkey riverfront retreat, and we're not pretending it is. But if you've been looking for 1.65 acres on the Northeast Cape Fear River where the setting steals the show, come see what 7655 Shaw Highway has to offer. Bring your imagination, your contractor, and an appreciation for a place with a little history!
