About this House

Welcome to an exceptional opportunity in Whalehead Club, one of the most sought-after communities in Corolla, where wide beaches, beautiful homes, and a timeless coastal setting create the perfect backdrop for luxury living on the Outer Banks. Just one lot from the ocean, this brand-new home—completed in spring 2026 and built by renowned local builder Olin Finch— offers the ideal combination of craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and strong rental appeal.

Designed to comfortably accommodate large gatherings while maintaining privacy for every guest, the home features 12 spacious en-suite bedrooms, each with its own beautifully appointed bathroom. An elevator provides effortless access to all three levels, and the well-designed floor plan offers generous gathering spaces on every level of the home—perfect for vacationers and owners alike.

The top floor is the heart of the home, where a stunning great room captures views of the Atlantic Ocean and creates an inviting space for everyone to come together. The dream kitchen is designed for grand-scale entertaining, featuring two of each appliance, custom cabinetry, an elegant tile backsplash, and gorgeous quartz countertops. The home’s interior design has been professionally curated by local designer Nancy Pugh, blending sophisticated coastal style with the durability needed for a premier rental property.

Outdoor living is just as impressive. The private backyard oasis showcases a custom pool, expansive lounging space, and a large pergola providing welcome shade on warm summer days. An outdoor bar area makes it easy to entertain poolside after a day at the beach.

Inside, each level offers additional gathering space. The ground level features a spacious recreation and living area with a kitchenette complete with a full-size refrigerator, along with three en-suite bedrooms. The mid-level includes another generous family room and six beautifully finished en-suites, while the top level adds three more en-suites alongside the impressive great room and kitchen.

The exterior of the property is professionally landscaped with plantings selected to thrive in the coastal environment, creating a polished and welcoming setting that complements the home’s striking architecture.

For investors, the timing could not be better. The home is nearly fully booked for the 2026 rental season, offering the opportunity to step into a property with strong demand already in place. With its prime location, exceptional craftsmanship, and amenities designed for unforgettable beach vacations, this remarkable Whalehead home is ready to deliver both lifestyle and investment value from day one.

    "It’s a great place for dogs but make sure they are on a leash. The sidewalks are nice and the roads are nice just to make sure you bring something to pick up your dog Pooh. And when crossing the streets make sure you look for cars with your animals because you have to cross the street a couple times to get to the beach"

    "Relatively quiet except for the middle of summer, this area is a little harder to get to, which keeps the crowds and strip malls away for the most part. The beaches are great, it's very safe, there are all types and varieties of houses for rent, there is planty to do and many great restaurants in the area."

    "We've been taking the family here for 9 years and finally bought our own place here, that's how much we like it. I don't know about the schools since it's a vacation place. The traffic is tough on the weekends but that's about the only negative thing I can think of. "
