Rare opportunities like this don’t come along often. Situated on approximately 1.32 acres of soundfront property along highly sought-after Old Manns Harbor Road, this exceptional waterfront retreat offers a unique combination of acreage, privacy, and panoramic views across the Albemarle Sound. Distinctive from the moment you arrive, the home’s striking bright red metal standing seam roof creates an iconic coastal presence that stands out against the surrounding waterfront landscape. Offering 1,842 square feet of living space, the home features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, thoughtfully positioned to maximize the incredible water views that surround the property. Inside and out, the focus is on the waterfront setting. Expansive covered decks provide the perfect place to relax, entertain, and soak in the scenery, while nearly every room captures stunning views of the sound. From breathtaking sunrises over the water to the peaceful sights of boats passing by, the connection to the outdoors is ever-present. One of the property’s most unique features is its access to a private canal, providing a protected harbor for your boat and convenient access to the sound while offering shelter from the often choppy open waters. Whether you’re heading out for a day of fishing, exploring the waterways, or simply enjoying life on the coast, this property is designed to embrace the waterfront lifestyle. Adding to its appeal is the convenient location, offering the tranquility of soundfront living while remaining just a short drive from the beaches of the Outer Banks, the attractions of Roanoke Island, and all the dining, shopping, and recreation the area has to offer. With only a handful of comparable soundfront sales in recent years, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Combining over an acre of waterfront land, private canal access, sprawling covered outdoor living spaces, endless water views, and a truly distinctive coastal presence, 6881 Old Manns Harbor Road represents one of the most unique offerings to hit the Manns Harbor market in years.
