Experience the ultimate in coastal living with High Dune, an impressive oceanfront retreat situated along the pristine 4x4 beaches of Carova. Perched atop the high dunes and surrounded by the natural beauty of the northern Outer Banks, this expansive residence offers a rare combination of privacy, breathtaking ocean views, and exceptional vacation rental appeal. Featuring 8 bedrooms, 8 full bathrooms, and an additional half bath, this thoughtfully designed home comfortably accommodates large gatherings while providing plenty of space for guests to spread out and enjoy their own coastal retreat. The top-level primary suite offers a particularly inviting escape, complete with a dual-sided gas fireplace, whirlpool soaking tub, and private deck access. Multiple levels of living space provide an ideal layout for entertaining, with a spacious top-level great room where you can take in gorgeous ocean views or settle in with a good book beside the fireplace. The open-concept top floor features an entertainer's kitchen with generous counter space, multiple sinks, ovens, and dishwashers, while still offering ample bar seating—a true chef's dream! Outdoor living is equally impressive, with expansive decks, a children's pirate ship play area, a hot tub perfect for summer evenings under the stars, and a dedicated beach walkway providing easy access to the ocean. Perhaps most impressive is the oversized swimming pool, perched atop the dune line to capture refreshing ocean breezes while offering those inside the home a wonderful vantage point to watch family and friends enjoy the water. After a day of fun in the sun, guests can retreat to the ground-level game room featuring a pool table, shuffleboard, and wet bar. Additional highlights include an elevator, ship's watch, and multiple ocean-facing bedroom suites. Located approximately 9 miles north of the 4x4 beach access, Carova offers a truly unique Outer Banks experience where miles of undeveloped shoreline, spectacular sunrises, and the area's famous wild horses create an unforgettable coastal setting. Whether envisioned as a spectacular family getaway or a high-capacity vacation rental investment, High Dune presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a substantial oceanfront property in one of the Outer Banks' most distinctive and sought-after destinations.
