Waterfront building lots in Laguna Bay are the kind of opportunity buyers may wait years to see--and Lot 14 is ready for its next chapter. Located directly on the New River, this approximately 0.23-acre homesite offers deep-water access within one of Jacksonville's most distinctive gated waterfront communities. Laguna Bay is an intimate neighborhood with only 25 building sites, creating a setting that feels private, established, and far removed from the typical subdivision. Build a custom home designed around the water and imagine beginning the day with river views, keeping boating and fishing close at hand, and ending the evening outside as the sun settles over the water. From the New River, boaters can travel toward the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean, opening the door to countless days on the water. Back on land, Laguna Bay feels peacefully tucked away while remaining convenient to Jacksonville's shopping, dining, parks, Camp Lejeune, MCAS New River, and area beaches. The combination of waterfront, deep-water access, a gated entrance, and an in-town location is exceptionally hard to duplicate. Bring your builder, your plans, and your vision to 209 Laguna Lane--because lots like this do not come available often, and once they are built on, they are gone for good.

Some places stick with you. The beach house where mornings started with coffee and the sound of the Atlantic. Long days that somehow revolved around nothing more complicated than the tide, what was for dinner, and whether anyone really needed to put shoes back on. That's the kind of place 129A S Anderson Boulevard can be. This oceanfront Topsail Beach home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1,583 heated square feet across three levels, with plenty of room to spread out without losing that easy beach-house feel. The kitchen opens to the main living area with granite countertops, stainless appliances, a double-oven range and an island that's ready for everything from morning coffee to a serious seafood spread. But nobody buys oceanfront because they fell in love with the oven. Outside is where this one earns its address. Multiple decks and balconies add roughly 579 square feet of outdoor living space, including an upper oceanfront deck replaced around 2024 and a lower deck completed in spring 2026. Pick a chair, listen to the waves and reconsider whatever you thought needed to get done today. Downstairs, the practical beach stuff is covered too: a wet-weather entry, laundry and storage area, and covered parking. There's also an outdoor shower for leaving as much of Topsail's sand outside as possible. When you're not using it yourself, there's an established vacation rental history already here. Gross rental income this year should exceed $57k, giving buyers actual performance history to consider instead of somebody's optimistic spreadsheet. The septic system was inspected and pumped in June 2026 and the inspection available for review. The property is legally structured as one unit of a two-unit condominium, with no active HOA or regular HOA assessment. You can remodel a kitchen. You can change the furniture. You can even debate whether four beach chairs are enough. What you can't make more of is oceanfront Topsail Beach. And this one's already here. Put it on the rental calendar, block off your favorite weeks, or keep the whole thing to yourself. Your call.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Surf City, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath townhome offers 1,748 square feet of thoughtfully designed coastal living, shaped by water views, inviting outdoor spaces, and a location that captures the best of island life. Just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by many of Surf City's favorite restaurants, shops, and attractions, the property also includes a separate sound-front parcel--an increasingly unique opportunity in the heart of the island. Designed with a reverse floor plan, the home's upper level brings the kitchen, dining, and living spaces together beneath vaulted ceilings, creating an open and airy setting for everyday living and entertaining. Rich wood flooring brings warmth and character to the main living spaces, while abundant windows fill the home with natural light and glimpses of the surrounding coastal landscape. At the center of it all, the kitchen features granite countertops, a nine-foot eat-in bar, stainless steel appliances, and pantry storage, providing plenty of room for everything from casual mornings to evenings spent entertaining family and friends. The adjoining dining area flows naturally into the spacious living room, where vaulted ceilings and walls of windows reinforce the home's bright, relaxed coastal atmosphere. Beyond the living room, glass doors open to a covered deck where surrounding water views and the Surf City skyline become the backdrop for morning coffee, afternoon conversations, and evenings spent outside. A guest bedroom with ocean views and an adjacent full bath completes the upper level. The first floor shifts the focus from gathering to retreat, with two private bedroom suites thoughtfully separated from the home's main living spaces. The spacious primary suite stands out with rich wood floors and glass doors opening onto a private covered deck overlooking the marsh and surrounding water. Dual closets provide generous storage, while the adjoining en suite features a double vanity and walk-in shower. A second guest suite offers its own private bath, creating a comfortable space for family and visitors, with a conveniently located laundry closet nearby. At ground level, a tiled wet-weather entry provides a practical arrival point from the beach, carport, and backyard, with beadboard detailing adding a touch of coastal character. Outside, the fenced backyard creates a surprisingly private patch of green beneath the coastal canopy, while an enclosed hot-and-cold shower is waiting after sandy days at the beach. Perhaps most compelling is the lifestyle this location makes possible. From mornings on the beach to evenings overlooking the water, 421 A N New River Drive places both within easy reach. Walk to the sand, restaurants, shops, and entertainment that define Surf City, then return home to covered decks, marsh and water views, and your own outdoor spaces to unwind. Combined with the sound-front parcel conveying with the property and a floor plan equally suited for a primary residence, second home, or coastal retreat, this is a rare opportunity to experience Surf City from both sides of the island.
