Pine Knoll Shores
Pine Knoll Shores is truly a planned community, and the original developers deserve credit for their farsightedness. Built in a maritime forest, the town has done an admirable job of trying to lessen the impact of development on the natural environment. Drive through town and you will see what we mean. Trees are everywhere and are protected by restrictive covenants. Pine Knoll Shores is nearly 90 percent developed, but
both large and small homes come on the market fairly regularly. Prices on
home sites and homes vary greatly, depending on proximity to the ocean, the
sound, the many canals or the 18-hole golf course located in town. Within
the central portion of the town, many homes are built on canals, with the
option of private docks. You will find homes from $350,000 to well over $1
million.
The McGinnis Point subdivision is a Bogue Sound community, with homes on, near or removed from the water. As with all property on Bogue Banks, prices for single-family homes vary widely, depending on location, and vary between $350,000 to $900,000. Beacon's Reach, MP 8 through 9, is a large
village-type development in a maritime forest on land once owned by the
Roosevelt family. It includes both multi-family and single-family dwellings,
and prices vary greatly. An interior lot could sell for $450,000, and homes
on the sound could bring in $1 million. Residents have access to lighted
tennis courts, swimming pools, a marina and parks on the ocean and the
sound. Meticulously landscaped, the villages include Ocean Grove, with
three- and four-bedroom units; Westport, with one-, two- and three-bedroom
units and both soundfront and freshwater lagoon-front units; the Breakers,
with oceanfront condominiums; Fiddlers' Walk with sound-side condominium
units; and Maritime West, with oceanfront units.

Salter Path/Indian Beach
Many of the longtime residents in these two small communities are descended from fishermen, and some still make their living on the water. You'll find a variety of homes here. Some homes are low, rambling structures, nestled under windswept live oaks bent from prevailing winds. Others are mobile homes, and many are large, new homes. Hurricane Ophelia in the fall of 2005 damaged many homes and businesses in these two communities. The town of Indian Beach has seen the development of upscale residential communities. Sea Isle Plantation and Sea Isle are two examples, and prices can range from $700,000 to $1.5. million. At MP 10, Sea Isle offers home sites and custom-built residences on both sides of Salter Path Road, and on Bogue Sound and the ocean.
