13.5 Acre Country Estate on water for that Northern Couple!

Coastal North Carolina, northeast, one hour inland--
We offer a 1,900 square foot house, a small cabin and some yard equipment on a 13.5 water and wooded acres of rural living, just 20 minutes to town. A 50 foot wide creek borders a long rectangular lot with old wood forests with planting furrows from a Civil War past and pristine wetlands. It is so private and quiet that you cannot see or hear any neighbors from the lot!
This custom built 15 year old house is completely renovated. It has two large bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and enclosed porch for an office and or exercise area. A large fenced-in area for a garden or for your dogs, a 15 foot wide wrap around deck over-looking the water, and a cabin tucked in the middle of the woods with skylights and a sliding glass door for your other retreat back to nature. A new Trane air and heating system has been installed, an attic fan, foundation fans and automatic vents, hurricane tie-downs on every roof joists, new architectural 40 year shingles, and 40 year warranty Hardiplank siding for no maintenance, with a brick foundation.

And, a two car garage space with two remote controls, with mega built-in storage on three walls and a custom-made work bench.
The lawn is 1.5 cleared acres around the house with azalea, mimosa, crepe myrtle, gardenia and hydrangea bushes; blueberries, a fig and a Golden Delicious apple tree are ready for your canning abilities, and a patch is waiting for your organic gardening. A large telescope will keep you spending hours in the evenings locating constellations in the dark night sky. Lifejackets come with the canoe ready to launch to paddle out to the Pasquotank River and explore Native American ceramic pottery and arrow heads along beaches. There is a bowl of unglazed pottery shards, a metal button, an English blue and white ceramic fragment, and other fossils found while grading the lawn. A large pond with a bridge completes the outside serenity.
