One of only 16 remaining lots in Helmsdale II, a beautiful wooded new community in Landfall close to Mayfaire, Lumina Station and Wrightsville Beach. For more information please call or email listing broker.

706 Helmsdale Dr, Wilmington

50 foot boat slip , LIVE ABOARD allowed for owners and renters. Short & Long term allowed. Boat in photo is NOT included in the purchase of the boat slip. The slip #18 is a deep draft main walkway siding that has never needed dredging because of its unique 20 year flow pattern. The seller has owned Slip #18 for nearly 20 years as was recommended by Paul Bennett and it is an amazingly well placed slip. Dimensions are 50 ft X 17 ft X 7ft depth at extreme low tide (usually much deeper). It is a good slip for sail and motor boats. The slip is well situated between the Isabelle Holmes bridge and the 70 ton travel lift. Haul out, if needed, is easy and unique among most Wilmington area marinas. Distance from the yard creates a very quiet environment. The water is brine but not salty which limits barnacle and sea growth. This is also a great hurricane hole marina. The slip is one of the few slips that allows the captain and mate to access three sides of the boat for cleaning, boarding, general deck and house work from the main walk, head walk and finger dock. Large returnable carts are at the top of the down ramps for use by CFMA owners. Foot traffic is limited to owners and their guests with no concern about itinerant passers by encroaching on privacy. Bathhouse and laundry facilities onsite.
