919 Riptide Lane

The only homesite currently available in Carolina Sands. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare as one of Carolina Beach's most established beach communities approaches full build-out. Cleared & ideally sized at approximately 50' x 102', this exceptional homesite offers added depth compared to many standard lots, providing greater flexibility for a custom home design. Build up to 3 stories & create generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, with room for a private pool. Builder concepts & engineered plans are available, offering a head start for buyers ready to bring their vision to life. A rare chance to build in FEMA Zone X--one of the few remaining homesites in Carolina Beach located outside the Special Flood Hazard Area; this property offers minimal flood risk & the potential for slab-on-grade construction (subject to local approvals). Carolina Sands is treasured for its welcoming residential atmosphere, exceptional amenities & relaxed coastal lifestyle. Neighbors enjoy a community pool, clubhouse, playground, tennis & pickleball courts, plus private deeded beach access with dedicated golf cart and bicycle parking. Spend the morning walking the shoreline, grab coffee on the Boardwalk, paddle Carolina Beach Lake in the afternoon, then meet friends for dinner--all without leaving the island. The nearby Island Greenway, beach, parks, restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment make walking, biking, & golf cart travel part of everyday life. Carolina Sands has a minimum 6-month lease requirement, preserving residential character & allowing long-term rentals. Highly regarded local builders are drawn to Carolina Sands for its reputation, established setting, & enduring buyer demand. Homesites of this quality have become increasingly rare, making this a compelling opportunity to build a primary residence, coastal retreat, or future retirement home in one of our most desirable neighborhoods.
