Properties located on the Outer Banks’ southernmost inhabited island represent a unique segment of the coastal property market. This includes residences, undeveloped land, and commercial establishments found within the geographical boundaries of that specific barrier island. For example, a cottage overlooking Pamlico Sound or a business space in the village core would both fall under this definition.
Acquiring holdings in this area presents distinct advantages. Its remote location and limited development contribute to a sense of seclusion and preservation of natural beauty. Historical significance related to maritime heritage and the island’s unique ecosystem further enhances the appeal. Moreover, potential for rental income from vacationers adds to the value proposition for many investors.
