A beautiful house for sale in North Carolina has caused more than a few double takes on a popular real estate social media website.

And for good reason.

The 4,534-square-foot home in Sneads Ferry is nearly surrounded by both water and jaw-dropping views. It’s listed for $2.4 million and almost has a “your own private island” vibes.

“Welcome to your waterfront paradise! This stunning 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home at 400 Waterway Drive is a dream come true for anyone seeking a luxurious coastal lifestyle,” the listing on Zillow.com says.

“The private 4+ acre Iconic Waterway Island offers breathtaking views of the Bay, ICW, and the Atlantic Ocean while providing easy access to all the best that the area has to offer. The home’s exterior is a true showstopper, with its modern coastal design, charming landscaping, inviting wrap-around deck, luxurious saltwater pool, and private beach.”

Features of the home include:

  • Gated entrance

  • Swimming pool

  • Updated roof

  • High ceilings

  • Natural light

  • Chef’s kitchen

  • Deck

  • Private primary suite deck

  • Kayak launch

  • Elevator shaft

The location has drawn the attention of fans on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and Twitter account that highlights unique houses for sale across the country.

“I’m pretty sure my husband would turn that drive way into a toll bridge so that no one would come visit us,” one person joked.

“Very cool. It used to be painted bright pink and was owned by a guy who owned a lot of strip clubs in the county,” another said.

“I know this area well. Good luck insuring that,” someone mentioned.

“After living through the eye of hurricane Ian, I’d love to know who’s insuring this place! They must be self-insured!” one person commented.

“How long has it been standing? How many hurricanes has it seen? What’s the expected lasting power in climate change years?” someone asked.

“Knock off 100 bucks and I’m in,” another joked.

“One big wave and it’s gone,” one person tweeted.

Sneads Ferry is about 40 miles northeast of Wilmington.
