Scenario Number One:Picture this, you wake up in your primary bedroom and through the sunroom, the first thing you see is the portrait of a beautiful North Carolina sunrise coming up over the Pamlico Sound. As you step out onto the back deck, the sun is heating the water around you and for miles, you can see that the water is as slick as glass and minnows are being chased by red drum along the shoreline. This is when you have a decision to make, do you stay home and enjoy your private estate, or do you ease the boat into the water off the lift and explore the endless waters? The decision is yours! Let’s say that you decide to take the boat out. Your friends and family are with you, the cooler is loaded up and you are full of fuel. The trip starts by easing around the Bay River, enjoying the cruise and maybe even finding one of the many sandbars to relax on. It is getting close to lunchtime, so you take a trip across the Sound and visit Ocracoke for lunch. As you return home and raise your boat back out of the water, you throw today’s catch on the cleaning table, fillet them out, and throw what is left into the water for the Blue Channel Crabs to eat later. As everybody is in the house getting ready for supper, you watch the sun fall from the sky and cook what you brought in from your backyard.Scenario Number Two:Now picture this, as you wake up in the morning, the sun is nowhere to be found. It still has at least an hour before you will see it rise. The coffee is brewing in the kitchen and the dual-sided, wood-burning fireplace is heating the home. Bacon and eggs are frying on the skillet while you check the forecast. The boat is loaded up and everything is ready. Today you will slide right out of the backyard in search of the many puddle ducks, divers and sea ducks you watch from the back deck daily. You don’t have to travel far because you are right in the heart of the Atlantic Flyway.As you can tell, this home and property offer many different ways to enjoy it.
