2276 Sandpiper Rd offers a comfortable coastal retreat in Carova Beach, set in the 4th row with the beach access approximately a quarter mile to the north. Built in 2019 and positioned in the X flood zone, this 1, 424 sq ft home blends thoughtful design, natural surroundings, and the quiet rhythm of the 4x4 beaches. The traditional floor plan creates an easy flow throughout the main level, anchored by a bright great room that opens to an east facing covered deck for morning light and ocean breezes. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on this level, while the top floor features two additional bedrooms connected by a shared bathroom, plus a ship’s watch with ocean views that adds a distinctive coastal touch. A 10 foot easement along the west of the property provides additional spacing from the neighbor behind you, enhancing the sense of privacy. The home has never been used as a rental, and it shows how well it has been cared for. Durable construction and practical features support both seasonal and year round living, including a metal roof, piling foundation, carport, dry entry, large utility room, and an outside shower for beach days. The private well and septic reflect the independent nature of Carova living, and the large south facing side yard offers usable outdoor space and flexibility, including the possibility for a future swimming pool if desired. Wildlife sightings—especially the Corolla wild horses—are part of the daily backdrop, reinforcing the natural calm and low density environment of the northern beaches. With no HOA, ocean views from the ship’s watch, and a setting surrounded by coastal vegetation and open sky, 2276 Sandpiper Rd provides a relaxed Carova experience where outdoor living, quiet surroundings, and the off the beaten path lifestyle come together. Access is by 4x4 vehicle, a defining feature of the community that keeps the area peaceful while still offering proximity to beach driving, sound access, and the conveniences of Corolla to the south.
