This is a rare waterfront homesite tucked inside the private and gated coastal enclave of Mimosa Bay in Sneads Ferry. Set along the peaceful shores of Alligator Bay, this expansive lot offers the perfect canvas to create a private coastal retreat surrounded by sweeping marsh views, coastal wildlife, and unforgettable sunset skies. A perfect spot to unwind and let go. What truly distinguishes this property is the prior approved CAMA Major Permit for a private pier-a privilege many neighboring lots cannot obtain due to surrounding oyster leases. Imagine launching a skiff at sunrise, casting a line from your own dock, or simply enjoying the quiet rhythm of waterfront living just steps from your future back porch. The groundwork for your dream home is already underway. Architectural plans, permits, and project materials are available, offering buyers the opportunity to accelerate the building process or reimagine the design entirely. A builder familiar with the project may also be available to continue the vision, providing a valuable head start toward construction. Life in Mimosa Bay blends privacy with resort-style amenities. Residents enjoy a gated entrance, clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, grilling areas, and a community boat ramp with dock, creating a lifestyle designed around coastal leisure and connection. Large waterfront homesites with pier potential and build-ready momentum are increasingly rare along the North Carolina coast. 110 Sea Level Lane offers the opportunity to design a custom home, embrace the water, and create something truly special in one of Sneads Ferry's most sought-after communities.
