Description
Welcome to 239 Garbacon Drive, a beautiful 3.5-acre waterfront homesite nestled along the shores of the Neuse River in the private, gated community of Merrimon Bay. This peaceful coastal property is the ideal spot for anyone looking to build a getaway or full-time home surrounded by natural beauty and recreational opportunity.

Merrimon Bay is located just 25 miles from the heart of North Carolina's Crystal Coast, offering easy access to Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, and Cape Lookout. Whether you're craving a day on the water, fresh local seafood, or exploring the historic waterfronts, everything you need is within reach. The community features a private boat ramp and day dock for residents, making it easy to get out on the water for fishing, sailing, or cruising.

As a bonus, 237 Garbacon, immediately to the left of this property, is also for sale, giving buyers seeking a larger homesite an excellent opportunity to own almost 7 acres of riverfront paradise, at a very reasonable price.
Come experience the quiet side of coastal Carolina — where privacy, nature, and water meet.
