Wake up to the Albemarle Sound every morning. This extraordinary soundfront property in Manns Harbor delivers the kind of waterfront lifestyle most people only dream about — tucked away on the quiet shores of Dare County with sweeping, unobstructed water views that stretch endlessly across the sound.
The home sits directly on the water, where a stunning screened porch with rocking chairs and panoramic sound views sets the tone the moment you arrive. Inside, the open living and kitchen layout is bright, coastal, and completely move-in ready — true turnkey living with nothing left to do but enjoy it. Living room opens directly to the water side of the home, bringing the outside in at every turn.
But the crown jewel may be downstairs. A spacious garage bay opens up via a large garage door to reveal a one-of-a-kind waterfront entertainment space — complete with a farm sink, Blackstone grill, bar top, and full-size refrigerator. Roll up the door, fire up the grill, and you’re entertaining with the Albemarle Sound as your backdrop. Shoot skeet and fish off your front lawn—It’s the kind of setup that turns a weekend into a memory.
Outside, an accessible sandy shoreline and direct water access give you everything you need to fish, kayak, or simply watch the sun melt into the sound at the end of the day.
Properties with this combination of direct sound frontage, unmatched views, a true entertainment setup, and turnkey condition are exceptionally rare in Dare County. The buyers who find them don’t let them go.
Your waterfront life starts at 52 Cahoon Road.
