Come on home to this stunning 15-acre estate nestled off a private road, surrounded by water and woods, yet just minutes from nearly everything Elizabeth City has to offer. Rare is an understatement. A private easement leads you down a long driveway that winds alongside the north edge of the property's largest pond, creating an arrival that immediately sets this property apart. 417 Hastings Lane features three stocked ponds totaling more than four acres, including one spanning over three acres, offering endless opportunities for fishing, kayaking, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful views from your own backyard. The rear of the property meets a waterway that feeds directly into Knobbs Creek, while more than seven acres of woods with an open understory provide excellent opportunities for exploring, walking trails, or enjoying nature. The opportunities continue with an impressive collection of ten outbuildings and shelters, including multiple carports, storage sheds, a powered workshop with both 110 and 220 electrical service, and a 30-amp RV hookup ready for your travel trailer or motorhome. Raised garden beds, a greenhouse, custom chicken coop, electric fencing in select areas, and additional open space make this property perfectly suited for anyone looking to embrace a homesteading lifestyle or simply enjoy room to spread out. Inside, the updated open-concept home is equally inviting. A soaring vaulted ceiling accented by a decorative center beam anchors the main living area, while expansive windows fill the home with natural light and frame beautiful pond views from both the living room and the large kitchen island. The open concept living area includes the living room, entrance to the custom-designed primary suite, updated kitchen, and dining area. Shiplap spans the dining area to cater to the home's coastal updates. Two separate living areas, plus the three-season porch, provide exceptional flexibility for entertaining or everyday living. The den includes entrance to the backyard by sliding glass door, entrance to the 3 season porch, a dry bar, and entrance to the guest-room wing. The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry and mud room at the 2nd rear entrance which includes storage and bench seating. A fenced backyard ready for children, pets, animals, or all three! Select furnishings may also convey with an acceptable offer, making this truly a move-in-ready opportunity unlike anything else on the market.
