Along the Crystal Coast of North Carolina and in the very heart of Morehead City, North Carolina there is a beautiful parcel of land located at 514 North 11th Street.
514 North 11th Street is a 0.32 of an acre of land with some hard wood trees growing on it. The parcel juts out in one of the most northern edges of Morehead City. It sits right at the mouth of Calico Creek and Calico Bay giving well over 180 degrees of unobstructed water views and access. It is simply a gorgeous location with magnificent views!
Think about it. What are all of the features and attributes of an ideal waterfront property? Panoramic views, easy water and land access, proximity to choice locations both on water and land, and affordability. 514 North 11th Street is a parcel of land that offers all of this and more. It truly presents itself as a rare find.
The heart of Morehead City is a peninsula. Bogue Sound fronts the south side of Morehead while Calico Creek fronts the north side. Calico Creek widens into Calico Bay. This is where 514 North 11th Street is located. From Calico Bay you can head north up Adam’s Creek to the Neuse River and the Pamlico Sound. Or you can turn south and be just a few minutes away from the Morehead City Turning Basin and the NC State Port.
Your options further expand at this point in that you can turn west and go to the Morehead City waterfront or turn east and be at the Beaufort waterfront. But if you maintained a southerly heading you would go through Beaufort Inlet, with Shackleford Banks to the east and Fort Macon State Park and Bogue Banks to the west and the beautiful beaches of the Crystal Coast.
For the fisherman, Calico Creek offers some of the best opportunities for fish like speckled trout, drum and flounder that the Crystal Coast has to offer. Due east out of the mouth of Calico Creek is a very large marsh area known as the Haystacks. This area has long been known as one of the Crystal Coast’s fishing hot spots. It can be reached in minutes by boat or even kayak from Calico Creek.
Adjacent to 514 North 11th Street is a public dock. This approximately 100 foot long dock squares off at the end and is open for public use.
While located directly on the water, 514 North 11th Street is also situated within the very heart of Morehead City. You can walk to downtown Morehead City, restaurants, churches, marinas, boat docks, public recreational facilities and water accesses, boutique shops and a variety of retail stores. Most of all 11 Street Calico Creek affords quick entry into the many events and festivals sponsored by the town. A prime example is the North Carolina Seafood Festival. This annual event is the second largest festival in the state and is held downtown Morehead City on the waterfront.
Morehead City is also home to the world renowned Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. This tournament awards millions of dollars to winning fishermen and raises thousands of dollars for charities.
The simple fact is this. The parcel on 514 North 11th Street is located at the heart of everything in Morehead City and surrounding areas. You can walk, bike, drive, boat, canoe or kayak to just about everywhere and to anything!
The gentrification of the area has been most impressive. Many new and large prestigious coastal homes are being built all along Calico Creek and it’s Bay. Smart property owners and home buyers are taking advantage of the magnificent water views and water access, much lower prices on the North side of the town, the closeness to downtown and all that the Crystal Coast has to offer.
Currently 514 North 11th Street is zoned “CM” which means Commercial Marina. This zoning affords many business opportunities if the land owner chooses. However it can be rezoned for residential purposes to “R5” where you can build your dream waterfront home. The process of rezoning from commercial marina to residential property is a simple process and should present no problems.
