Property Details

Outer Banks, NC - Salvo Beach No. 3 Subdivision - Lot 13 Fantastic location at the corner of Ocean Street and Ocean Spray Road. This hidden gem offers a dream destination at the southern end of Salvo approximately one-half hour south of the busier, and heavily developed central OBX towns. The 0.314-acre parcel is one lot off of ocean front with direct beach access directly across Ocean Street. Salvo Beach No. 3 is widely known to yield one of the very widest, and best beaches on the outer banks. This parcel is protected by a very rare, and uneroded sand dune system with an extensive saddle between two very large dunes. 11.5 miles of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Preserve is located less than one-quarter mile south of this parcel. There is an off-road vehicle ramp within one mile that gives drive-on access to the beaches along the Preserve. The Salvo Day Use Area is located approximately one mile south and gives sound side access with a soft sand beach yielding a superb spot for launching a kiteboard, sailboard, paddleboard, or kyack. The beach and calm sound water is great for family on ''rough sea'' days. This parcel was selected by its owner, a geologist, after extensive research and physical inspection of existing site and landform conditions to verify the geomorphology that results in the large dunes and wide beach found at Salvo Beach No. 3 Subdivision. Academic research indicates sediment to maintain the beaches at Salvo is derived from transport of sediment from the geologic framework on the inner continental shelf and large sand shoal deposits that result just offshore. This portion of the NC continental shelf yields relatively high sediment in abundance characterized by the shore shoals that yield sediment supply and accumulation to this area of the barrier islands.
