Wilmington, NC 28411 138 Beach Road S

Oceanfront offerings on Figure Eight Island are increasingly rare, and opportunities of this nature are seldom available. Set within North Carolina's most exclusive private island community, 138 Beach Road South offers a canvas with 100 feet of direct beach frontage, sweeping ocean views, and an extraordinary setting defined by privacy, natural beauty, and the understated character that has made Figure Eight Island one of the East Coast's most treasured coastal enclaves. For those considering the property with an eye toward the future, a comprehensive survey was completed in July 2025, along with preliminary architectural plans by acclaimed Kersting Architecture envisioning an approximately 4,900-square-foot custom residence. These materials offer an intriguing vision to imagine the future possibilities for this exceptional property. In the meantime, the charming four-bedroom, three-bath classic Figure Eight cottage offers the opportunity to begin enjoying the island immediately. The home captures the relaxed character of an earlier era on Figure Eight, with a bright, open main living area, spacious kitchen, expansive wraparound decks, and beautiful ocean views. Dual garages and a lower-level guest suite add functionality, while three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and friends. Perhaps most appealing is the luxury of time the existing cottage affords. A new owner can enjoy mornings overlooking the ocean, days on the beach, and evenings with family and friends while thoughtfully considering the property's next chapter. With its direct beach frontage, remarkable views, existing cottage, and architectural work already undertaken to explore its future potential, 138 Beach Road South represents an increasingly rare opportunity to capture a special piece of Figure Eight Island.
