About this House
85 BALLAST POINT
A Rare Lowcountry Coastal Compound in River Dunes
A rare expression of Lowcountry coastal living, 85 Ballast Point brings together a gracious main residence, guest house, carriage house, private pool, private dock, and an exceptional collection of porches and outdoor gathering spaces within the coveted waterfront community of River Dunes.
From the approach, gas lanterns set the tone, illuminating an architecture rooted in the timeless traditions of the Carolina coast. Generous porches invite lingering from morning through evening, creating an effortless transition between refined interiors and the breezy beauty of the outdoors.
A major focus of the property is a private swimming pool, framed by inviting spaces for entertaining and relaxation. An outdoor fireplace and fire pit extend the season, creating an idyllic setting for summer afternoons, autumn evenings, and gatherings beneath the stars.
The guest house and carriage house elevate the property beyond a traditional residence, offering exceptional flexibility for family, guests, a private office, or extended stays. Together, the structures create an intimate coastal compound with an uncommon sense of privacy and hospitality.
At the water's edge, the private dock provides a personal gateway to the coastal landscape. Kayak, canoe, fish, crab, or simply settle beside the water and watch the day unfold. It is a quiet, authentic connection to the waterways that define this remarkable corner of North Carolina.
Life at 85 Ballast Point is further enhanced by the amenities of River Dunes, including the Harbor Club, pool, fitness facilities, walking and biking trails, gathering spaces, and Yawl's Café, a waterfront restaurant at the marina. The community's world-class marina places the region's waterways and boating lifestyle immediately within reach.
Nearby Oriental--North Carolina's celebrated ''Sailing Capital''--adds a distinctly local dimension, with its waterfront village, restaurants, galleries, shops, and enduring maritime character.
There is an unmistakable sense of place here: lantern-lit architecture at dusk, deep porches made for conversation, the shimmer of a private pool, evenings gathered around the fire, and a dock leading quietly toward the water.
85 Ballast Point is an uncommon coastal offering--a private Lowcountry compound where architecture, nature, and an extraordinary waterfront lifestyle come together with effortless grace.
