Some properties invite you to see what is there. Others invite you to imagine what could be. At 684 W. Firetower Road, approximately one wooded acre in Carteret County offers the setting for your next project. Mature live oaks frame the grounds, creating a sense of privacy and an established coastal landscape that would take years to grow from scratch.
The property includes multiple detached buildings, sheds, and a fenced garden area. For an investor or renovator, the existing improvements offer a project to evaluate and reimagine. For a buyer drawn to the land, the spacious, tree-filled setting offers an opportunity to explore plans for a private homesite. There is no HOA, leaving room to consider a vision that suits your needs, subject to applicable requirements.
The location brings another layer of appeal. A nearby public boat ramp puts days on the water within reach, while the beaches of Emerald Isle and the shops, dining, and waterfront charm of Swansboro are a convenient drive away. It is a rare combination of wooded privacy and access to the Crystal Coast lifestyle.
This is a property for a buyer ready to take on substantial work and see the potential beyond its current condition.
