The sandy beaches and waving palms of Florida are often considered the paradise of the United States mainland - but just a little further north, a warm and sunny haven offers another unforgettable experience of America’s coastal charms. The Intracoastal Waterway is a 3,000-mile body of water that meanders along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, varying from saltwater rivers, scenic inlets and man-made canals – and arguably the most picturesque stretch sweeps out onto the banks of North Carolina, where long, beautiful beaches border the Atlantic Ocean.

Monk’s Island sits right here, in the middle of this incredible environment of unspoiled nature, clear ocean waters, and upscale waterfront communities. Found in the Intracoastal Waterway between Ocean Isle Beach and Holden Beach, just east of the charming town of Shallotte, Monk’s Island is 30 gorgeous acres overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Within a 40-minute drive of each of the bustling NC cities of Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, Shallotte is a peaceful and upmarket town with readily available shopping, dining and amenities.

Perfectly situated to take advantage of both mainland amenities and a plethora of activities like fishing, shrimping, sailing and kayaking, the island is easy to access with a secure 10-space parking area in a nearby gated community, 5 mainland boat slips, 5 boat docks with lifts on the island itself, and a salt water marsh boat docking for fishing or recreational boats. And for the extremely busy individual, the island even offers a helicopter landing pad.

When it comes to creating a dream personal retreat for oneself, or constructing a set of unique residences for resale, Monk’s Island has all of the potential one could hope for – and many of the most challenging aspects of development have already been taken care of. Complete utilities are in place, including water, septic, electricity, cable television and phone service. The island is in ready-to-build condition, and is prime for division into 5 separate home sites. And the neighbourhood couldn’t be more ideal – across the marsh dividing the island from the mainland, you’ll find elegant developments of multi-million dollar homes.

Offered at US $2,495,000, the possibilities are endless for Monk’s Island. Enjoying mild year-round temperatures, blissfully hot summer weather and pretty scenery, the banks of North Carolina are home to a thriving tourism industry and a booming market in seasonal homes. Whether you’re seeking to create your perfect second home or an exclusive development project, explore what Monk’s Island has to offer. For more information or to inquire, please contact:
