Property Description

Newly remodeled for 2025. Like new appearance.

When pure luxury and elegance is your desire for a memorable beach vacation, A Castle In The Sand will certainly fulfill that need.

As this home was chosen for the filming location of the popular TV show “One Tree Hill” during the 2009 through 2011 season series, it will certainly be an exciting destination for those of you that followed and enjoyed this popular TV show. During the One Tree Hill convention held in Wilmington NC each year in March, visitors from all over the world drive by this house to hopefully get their picture taken with the house in the background. Why not be one of the select few that actually gets to stay in the house and enjoy its lavish luxury.

Sitting majestically along three direct oceanfront lots, each meticulously landscaped and manicured with palm trees and lush tropical foliage surrounding a heated oceanfront pool, covered gazebo, fountain with arbor and trellis covered pathway, all enclosed within a 6 foot high privacy fence. This home nestled along an expansive 237 feet of ocean frontage will certainly provide the ultimate beach vacation that you will not soon forget.
