Oceanfront offerings on Figure Eight Island are increasingly rare, and opportunities of this nature are seldom available. Set within North Carolina's most exclusive private island community, 138 Beach Road South offers a canvas with 100 feet of direct beach frontage, sweeping ocean views, and an extraordinary setting defined by privacy, natural beauty, and the understated character that has made Figure Eight Island one of the East Coast's most treasured coastal enclaves.
