This oceanfront residence harmonizes the charm of a French inspired name with the relaxed atmosphere of beach life! Experience stunning ocean views at “La Chateau de Sable” (The Castle of Sand) in Corolla! This coastal getaway is an oceanfront oasis located in one of the most popular communities in Corolla. Ample sunshine and refreshing ocean breezes from the spacious oceanfront decks will whisk you right into vacation luxury. With 7 bedrooms and a grand design, this property will impress. The home features thoughtfully designed lounge areas, including a great room, loft, sunroom, media room, rec room with a pool table, and a screened porch, providing plenty of space to relax. Did we mention the panoramic ocean views? Expansive oceanside windows in the great room, dining area, and loft invite breathtaking ocean scenery into the living spaces. Views of the iconic Currituck Lighthouse can be seen from many vantage points of the property and from the charming front porch sitting area. The kitchen is a culinary delight offering a well-equipped kitchen; the perfect place to create crowd-pleasing meals with an adjacent dining area overlooking the ocean. The sunroom off the kitchen is a cozy nook for curling up with a good book, while the private den on the middle floor offers another inviting spot to unwind or watch TV. The upper-level bedroom features a private bathroom with a whirlpool tub and deck access. The mid-level provides three more bedrooms with en-suite baths, and two additional bedrooms and full bathroom. The fun-filled lower level will be “the” hangout, with a full-size pool table, wet bar, and lounging area. A triple set bunkbed room will delight the littles! Another full bathroom rounds out the lower level. With all this space to enjoy, the elevator is a valuable feature. The shared beach access is conveniently located behind the home; get those toes in the sand and walk the pristine beaches of our beloved northern Outer Banks.

The Corolla Light Community has won numerous awards as the premier resort community in North Carolina. The amenities at Corolla Light are unmatched. The Oceanfront pool complex has a terrific play area for the kids and oceanfront restaurant offering amazing crab cakes. Owners have oceanfront parking at the pool complex, a summer trolley system, and chair and umbrella service that is available on the well-maintained lifeguarded Corolla Light Beach. A full indoor sports club with an indoor pool, full gym, sauna, and indoor tennis is wonderful on those rare days with inclement weather. There are numerous outdoor tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball and volleyball courts and even a real grass putt putt course. The community is very well managed and well landscaped with a terrific schedule of activities for guests. This oceanfront property truly is coastal living at its finest, offering not just a home but an unforgettable experience. With its ideal location, community amenities, and the unparalleled view, this property is an Outer Banks dream.
