Located directly on the Atlantic oceanfront in the remote 4x4 area of Carova Beach, “Sunset Dune” is a masterfully designed 12-bedroom estate that represents a premier investment opportunity in the Outer Banks. Completed in 2023 and spanning nearly 5,000 square feet, this home offers a rare combination of nearly-new construction and high-yield performance approximately 9 miles up the beach. The property is ideally situated in a desirable X flood zone on an expansive lot featuring 80 feet of oceanfront frontage.

Dual refrigerators and two dishwashers further enhance the kitchen's functionality, making meal prep and cleanup effortless. On the middle level, the thoughtful layout continues with four ensuite bedrooms and two additional bedrooms that share a full bathroom. This level also includes a secondary sitting area with its own wet bar to provide a quiet escape, along with two sets of washers and dryers to handle the needs of high-occupancy stays with ease. The ground floor serves as a dedicated entertainment zone, featuring four additional ensuite bedrooms, a state-of-the-art theater room, and a recreation room with a pool table. A Peloton bike is also available for those who wish to stay active. Outside, a private oasis awaits, boasting a pool with a tanning ledge, a poolside cabana, and a hot tub. A gas firepit provides the perfect setting for evening gatherings by the water, all integrated with a premium Sonos sound system. For the ultimate vantage point, the spectacular rooftop deck offers an elevated space to take in the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean and the salt air.
