Welcome to the water-access, waterfront community of Royal Palms! This coveted, gated neighborhood is located just minutes from the Intracoastal Waterway and Topsail Beaches. Lot 132 is a standout opportunity, offering rare advantages that make it hassle-free and build-ready, giving you a head start that few properties can match. The lot has not only been cleared and surveyed but has also completed soil testing. A marked building area is already in place, and future buyers are welcome to use the available professionally designed blueprints as-is or simply as inspiration for creating their own dream home. For added privacy, or even the option to build a second home, the neighboring Lot 138 is also available for purchase. You’ll appreciate that the surrounding public greenery is owned by the HOA, giving your future home the feeling of a private coastal estate. Residents enjoy a serene day dock and water-access pier to the sound, designed like a peaceful nature walk. Along the way, you’ll find an active osprey nest and endless bird-watching opportunities that highlight the natural beauty of the community. Lot 132 offers the perfect blend of convenience, nature, and coastal charm–an ideal place to build the life you’ve imagined. Back on market due to buyer change of heart. Septic permitting is underway.
