Ocracoke Real Estate
Ocracoke Island’s real estate scene is like Ocracoke overall—a world apart from the norm. To begin with, on the entire 16-mile-long island, there’s only the tiny tip that’s populated; the rest of the island is wide open, beautiful, undeveloped territory. Hmmm, let’s see: A limited number of houses available for sale, even fewer numbers of open lots, situated beside the most beautiful undevelopable beach around…makes that Ocracoke Island real estate pretty darn appealing. Yep, it’s appealing for you and probably the vast majority of people who’ve ever spent time here. Which is to say that you won’t be finding rock bottom prices on any of Ocracoke’s real estate.
What you will find, however, is a real estate selection that’s perhaps more varied than you would expect. There are condos, newer houses and, if you’re really lucky, a handful of wonderful historic homes for sale.
