Welcome to Southern Cross. Nearly 22 unzoned acres on Hadnot Creek in Carteret County -- a compound built with an intentionality and quality rarely seen on the North Carolina coast. No deed restrictions. No HOA. A fully equipped pier and boat lift, a custom main residence, a carriage house functioning as a complete second home, a professional workshop, and more infrastructure than most buyers think to ask about. This is not a property you scroll past. It stops you. The land is unzoned -- no constraints on what you can keep, grow, build, or run here. Bring horses. Farm the acreage. Gentle terrain, wooded sections, and direct tidal creek frontage with marsh views only moving water can provide. The main residence (3BR/2.5BA) is a custom low-country design that wears its heritage well. Wide covered porches wrap the home, drawing the outdoors in and creating shaded living spaces that feel like natural extensions of the interior. Built in 2010 using ICF construction -- the same structural methodology used in commercial buildings for its strength, energy efficiency, and wind resistance -- every detail reflects how seriously this home was built. A Kohler whole-house generator, dual heat system, and engineered double-footer construction are the foundation. Over 2,500 heated square feet of living space sits above 1,480+/- square feet of heated and cooled garage. Inside, Brazilian cherry floors, a two-story stone fireplace, a custom kitchen with copper sinks and a 36'' gas range, a primary suite with direct rear porch access, and a library/office with a private half bath create a main level that feels both grand and deeply grounded. The carriage house (1BR/1.5BA) deserves its own conversation. Designed with classic proportions that complement the main residence without competing with it, this 1,246 square foot heated & cooled living space sits above a three-car garage and offers a complete kitchen, loft great room, full bath, bamboo & tile floors, skylights, and a cupola that floods the space with natural light. Whether it becomes an income-producing rental, a multigenerational suite, guest quarters, or a creative studio, the privacy of the main residence remains fully intact. The choice is entirely yours. The supporting infrastructure is equally impressive. A professional woodworking workshop built in 2024, a 24x50 metal utility building with five garage doors, a pool and pool house studio, a sawmill, a drying shed, a chicken coop, a tool shed, a greenhouse, and an RV and boat parking pad with electric round out a compound built for people who know how they want to live. And anchoring it all: a pier on Hadnot Creek with a boat lift, kayak rack, electricity, and water. Hadnot Creek is a living amenity all its own. Kayak from your backyard, cast a line off your from the dock while herons, egrets, osprey, and eagles work the marsh around you. When ready for more, Hadnot Creek opens directly into the expansive White Oak River, putting miles of open water and coastal exploration right at your doorstep. What makes Southern Cross truly rare is the balance it strikes -- deep privacy on nearly 22 unzoned acres without a trace of remoteness in daily life. Historic Swansboro, Cape Carteret, and Cedar Point are minutes away, along with grocery stores, retail, restaurants, coffee shops, Star Hill Golf, the Western Park Recreation Center, nearby aquatic and gym facilities, and more. Emerald Isle beach is roughly 15 minutes across the high-rise bridge, putting one of the finest barrier island beaches on the East Coast within easy reach any day of the week. This is privacy on your own terms -- space, water, and land to live exactly as you choose, with a full coastal community just down the road. This property deserves to be experienced, not just described. Four-bedroom septic serves both residences. Pool and pool house are unpermitted structures. Buyers verify all permitting requirements prior to purchase.
