Welcome to 1748 Heron Point Road Southwest in Bent Tree Plantation on the mainland of Ocean Isle Beach. Set on a creek(Big Gut Slough) feeding into the Intracoastal Waterway, this beautiful homesite offers almost 200 feet of marsh & waterfront. This is one of a very few remaining marshfront homesites within Bent Tree Plantation and the closest one to the ICW. At nearly a half-acre, the sloping homesite rolls towards the water and may afford a walk-out basement and commanding views over the marsh. The lot is adorned with mature palm trees, a variety of oaks, wisteria, oleander and more. While there is no septic system onsite, the lot has perked in the past for up to three bedrooms. Sitting on a cul-de-sac deep within the neighborhood, the peace & tranquility will seldom be interrupted by traffic. The lot is close enough(<5000 linear feet) to the ocean that on a good night one may hear waves breaking onto the beach. Within a short walk or golf cart ride are the community's ICW-front, recently renovated clubhouse with swimming pool & hot tub as well as a pair of piers and floating docks on the Intracoastal Waterway. Bent Tree Plantation is a gated, tree-protected, amenity-rich community unique to the Ocean Isle Beach mainland. At just under three and a half miles to ''Toes in the Sand'' on OIB, a short drive further to local restaurants, shopping, golf and entertainment and within an hour of two international airports, Bent Tree Plantation is close to everything and yet a world away from it all.
