The location of your marsh front, coastal retreat resides at 1805 Egret Street in Goose Creek. The Goose Creek community is a hidden gem surrounded by the Saucepan creek and tucked beneath the shade and privacy of mature local foliage. Imagine yourself one late afternoon, relaxing on your back porch overlooking the salt marsh or wetting a line from your own dock as you just hear the sounds of activity on the ICW and the churn of the Shallotte Inlet. Goose Creek is an established neighborhood with only a handful of vacant lots remaining. This homesite will afford you the freedoms that come with no HOA but the luxuries that come with proximity to nearby hubs. The neighborhood is conveniently located just minutes from the causeway of Ocean Isle Beach but still within a short distance to shopping, restaurants and medical facilities of downtown Shallotte. Boater's rejoice; the ICW public boat access is literally within walking distance from the home but even a kayak trip from your very own back yard will be a simple delight. Property just recently approved for a 3-bedroom gravity flow septic system.
