## Description

### Agent Description
Nestled within the private, gated community of Merrimon Bay, this 3.46-acre lot offers over 100 feet of direct waterfront on the Neuse River and endless potential to design your ideal waterfront retreat surrounded by natural beauty. Envision your dream home where wide porches frame panoramic water views and winding paths lead through the trees to your own private waterfront, where you can cast a line or simply take in the view. Your mornings will be filled with sunlight reflecting off the river and the sounds of nature. Spend your days kayaking, boating, or discovering your new favorite fishing spots. As evening falls, watch the sunset paint the water surrounded by unspoiled beauty. Wetlands along the river create a living shoreline buffer, adding natural protection while enhancing the serene setting and creating a sanctuary for wildlife and birdwatching. This peaceful coastal haven feels worlds away yet is conveniently located just over 20 miles from historic downtown Beaufort. Enjoy easy access to the restaurants, shops, and attractions of Beaufort, Morehead City, and Atlantic Beach, as well as the pristine shores of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. Residents of Merrimon Bay enjoy a private community boat ramp and day dock, making days on the water effortless. 229 Garbacon Drive is the perfect spot to design a home that captures the beauty, privacy, and convenience of coastal living on the Crystal Coast.
