Regular canal lots can be found up and down the east coast but it is difficult to find a property on the actual Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) that also has an easy walk to the beach. The wide open view makes a great spot to watch the yachts migrate each spring and fall. Have your own boat dock and gazebo right on the waterway. You will also see Dolphin, Eagles, Blue Herons, White Egrets, Pelicans, Seahawks and more. The unique East/West orientation of Holden Beach and the ICW here make for great sunrise and sunsets on the waterway. The scenic marsh side walk to the beach also takes you to the ice cream shop and a general store. Excellent fishing right here where this dock would be at Marker 57. Flounder, Trout and Drum abound. Blue Crabs readily available and Stone Crabs on the regular. A wonderful tidal creek curves front and center of this lot and is great for kayaking, crabbing, and bait fish. A house up to 3400 sf under roof can be built. Good views can be obtained of the canals behind the house, especially from the upper level, but there is no canal frontage. This makes it much easier to fit a swimming pool into your plan. This lot sits considerably higher than most nearby properties with very good run off. Photos of potential views were taken from a lift located where second level porches might be. The two sample site plans showing potential house, pool, and dock were done by a prominent local surveyor. Greensboro Street is part of a scenic bicycle route. Sitting up on the front porch watching boats on the waterway, birds in the marsh, bikes and walkers cruising by all at the same time, is a great experience. Lots like this do not come along very often.
