651 Quail Road, Merritt, NC 28556

If ever a waterfront home enjoyed the glorious variety of Nature's gifts, this would be it! A custom 3 Bedroom residence perfectly defining and refining the peninsular setting it presides over. It allows the extremely rare combination of protected dockage (on tranquil Pasture Creek) and dramatically powerful views of the broad waters of deep Ball Creek & the Bay River!

Built to exacting specifications so to fully enjoy the magnificent water views with its newly refurbished bulkheading. With privacy and its sunny, but high-shaded front yard, this estate is a private paradise! The extensive shoreline (400'+-!) is mostly bulkheaded...

The concrete pier has a boat lift ready for your fishing boat and room for a sailboat or yacht! A welcoming front porch ushers you into the home and the moment you enter the foyer, you'll be captivated by the views across the spacious and sunny living and dining areas to the sparkling waters beyond!

Such a fine home designed around the needs of those who are frequent entertainers, adventurous cooks and yet desirous of comfortable, cozy spaces for quiet reflection and the pursuit of numerous interests! Wood & tile floors abound and the kitchen is amazing, with expansive soapstone counters, gourmet appliances and abundant cherry cabinets.

A private master wing offers architectural interest in its magnificent ensuite bath, huge WIC and private porch! Upstairs are 2-bedrooms w/ bamboo floors and a lovely balcony akin to a ship's bridge overlooking the waters below! This residence truly offers elegant and convivial living in a one-of-a-kind package!

Many extra features including: large semi-attached garage/workshop with a 16'5'' x 23'11'' space upstairs, new, zoned geothermal HVACs (2024), standby generator, private office & a big utility mudroom in which to change after a pleasant day on the water! A gas fireplace in the Living room and porches, decks and balconies from which to enjoy the waterfront splendor... This jewel awaits your visit!
