Quail Road Lot: 5 and 17, Merritt, NC 28556
A spectacular waterfront investment opportunity on Ball Creek! Two lots for the price of one!! The premier building lot is a waterfront dream location, with over 2.25 acres with an expansive grassed approach to a large stand of mature woods in which to tuck your dream home so privately into. Being a corner lot, there are a number of convenient ways to place your driveway for maximum effect, suggesting the potential of a sweeping circular entry. The land lays very well, with natural drainage evident as you enter the majestic woodlands and the property narrows as you near the waterfrontage, imparting the sense of living on a private peninsula... The marsh fringe offers buffer and a naturalized setting unlike many others. The obvious building site is perfect for an elevated residence, whether grand or modest. The possible water views are remarkable of Ball Creek and with glimpses out to the wide waters of the Bay River! Across Quail Road from this premium building site (Lot #5) is an additional cleared, level and grassed building site (Lot # 17), with over .66 acres & perfect for a guest house or extra home for a friend or relative. It enjoys sunshine, summer breezes and lovely sunset views across the adjacent fields... AND it has DEEDED WATER ACCESS to Ball Creek on a community access lot just steps away down Anna Lane! There is a multi-slip pier there for potential use, as well! Create the family compound you've always dreamed of... This packaged deal is an opportunity to enjoy the good life that only Eastern NC can offer! Adjoining the best fishing, sailing and boating waters around, you are literally ''just around the corner'' from the Pamlico Sound!! A great but quiet neighborhood with lovely roadways to walk. Escape the bustle and claim your genteel waterfront paradise. *UPDATE* - Both lots have been officially denied septic system permits & will require the services of a private soil scientist by the Buyer in order to potentiate a possible septic system permit.
