Spanning nearly 9,000 square feet across the 14th and 15th floors, this iconic oceanfront residence represents one of the largest single penthouse footprints along the entire Brunswick County coastline.

Constructed with commercial-grade poured concrete and steel infrastructure, the residence offers exceptional structural integrity and storm resistance. Holding the highest vantage point from Holden Beach, North Carolina to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, it commands an unrivaled 360-degree dual-aspect panorama - capturing unobstructed Atlantic Ocean sunrises to the east, and Intracoastal Waterway sunsets over Jinks Creek to the west. EXCLUSIVITY AND DUAL-ZONE LUXURY: The arrival experience offers complete privacy: a secure elevator featuring dedicated key control opens directly into an exclusive private foyer. Independent key controls on both the 14th and 15th floors give owners total command over guest flow and access. Designed with distinct living zones across both levels, this estate features two full kitchens (main kitchen on the 14th floor, secondary galley kitchen on the 15th), massive gathering spaces, and dual 1,200+ SQ FT private oceanfront terraces. The dual-level footprint functions seamlessly as an expansive multi-generational family compound, private corporate retreat, or high-performing luxury asset (sleeps 20+). ARCHITECTURAL IMPACT AND CONDO CONVENIENCE: A soaring two-story grand foyer anchored by a sweeping circular staircase and floor-to-ceiling glass defines the interior experience. Practical conveniences include three reserved parking spaces and dedicated private ground-level storage for beach gear and water toys.

Positioned directly in front of the community pond, gazebo, and park, this lot offers serene views and a relaxing coastal lifestyle just 3 miles from the shores of Holden Beach. It's the perfect spot for those looking to be close to the beach, while enjoying the quiet beauty of a water-access neighborhood. The Waterscape community features private amenities for residents, including a dock and pier that provide direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Whether you're interested in kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the sunset over the water, this neighborhood offers it all. The North Carolina public boat launch is just a few minutes away under the Holden Beach bridge, making boating days even more convenient. A preliminary soil study from Davey Resource Group has deemed the yellow-marked portion of the lot provisionally suitable for up to a four-bedroom septic system using an EZ Flow System. While this is not a permit to build, it is a strong step forward. Buyers will still need to submit their house plans to the Brunswick County Health Department for final approval regarding the home and septic system placement. The lot benefits from being exempt from the repair area requirement and has only a five-foot horizontal setback from the property line. There is an expired three-bedroom septic permit on file for reference. A proposed house location has not been staked or surveyed and will be the responsibility of the buyer. The lot features approximately 137 feet of roadside frontage, offering flexibility in how you position your future home among the mature trees. With picturesque water views and the sound of ocean waves in the distance.. this property has all the ingredients for a breathtaking homesite. The HOA includes access to a catch-and-release pond and a pier overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, ideal for relaxing and watching boats and birds alike. This community does not allow short-term vacation rentals, requiring a minimum one-year lease if rented. Buyers are encouraged to review the HOA covenants and contact the HOA president for a detailed understanding of how private roads are maintained within the community. Be sure to also request Amendments 1 and 2 to the covenants. Conveniently located near restaurants, marinas, grocery stores, gas stations, mini golf, ice cream shops, and more, this lot combines the best of coastal living with the tranquility of a private waterfront neighborhood. Golfers will also appreciate being just minutes from the beautiful Lockwood Folly Golf Club, nestled along the Lockwood Folly River. Wake up to the sound of waves, enjoy your morning coffee while looking over the pond, and watch the sun set over the Intracoastal Waterway in the evenings. This is a unique opportunity to build the home you've been dreaming of, in a community that offers both charm and convenience. The Dream Place to build your home....Call us for a Showing Today !
