Hampstead, NC 28443 430 Roberts Road

Drive out of Wilmington heading north on Highway 17 and look around. Everything on the east side of that highway all the way to the Intracoastal Waterway, is either already developed, being developed, or being looked at by developers. Although it may feel like you are out in the ''country'', Pender County east of Highway 17 is an evolving, expanding exurb of Wilmington. With the beaches of Topsail Island on one side, and the sprawling Holly Game Shelter on the other, the land in between is becoming highly desirable. Old-family waterfront estates like this one are increasingly rare. And the remaining few are starting to be sold off. This is one of those opportunities to ''get it while you can''. This 1.7-acre parcel of direct waterfront property enjoys protected deep water dockage, and views of Topsail Island across the Intracoastal Waterway. Tucked away on a private road and off the beaten path, it's close to everything. Because minutes away from this pristine coastal enclave, a whole community is forming up with all the amenities you could want; great schools, medical facilities, fine dining, retail establishments, grocery stores, pharmacies, building supply businesses, and golf courses. Not to mention a vibrant community of people who are discovering the pleasures of coastal living. With over 120 feet of waterfront, this property has subdivision possibilities. Otherwise, start designing your dream home. And if you don't already have a boat, you may want to start shopping. You are going to need one if you are the fortunate person to own this piece of coastal paradise.
