About this property

Sprawling remodeled Waterfront Estate on The Outer Banks of North Carolina

Event Website Link: https://bostwicksmagnoliamanor.com

Welcome to Bostwick's Magnolia Manor, a stunning estate with a 5 bedroom home that offers an unforgettable stay. Majestic WATERFRONT and sprawling property located in the beautiful fishing village of Wanchese, NC located on The Outer Banks. This property is a perfect event site with 7.5 acres of lush, grassy lawn. Our website linked below provides full disclosure of what this property has to offer (click the link here: https://bostwicksmagnoliamanor.com). The sun-drenched windows and 20' ceilings facing west provide endless views of the boat basin, marsh, and Croatan sound. The manor also has two adjacent rentals on the property, The Elderberry Studio & the Jasmine Bunkhouse. Each one can be added on for $150 per night per housing accommodation. The Elderberry studio apartment and The Jasmine Bunk House are unique in design and ensure that everyone has a cozy and comfortable stay. Magnolia Manor can accommodate between 12-27 guests, 27 when you choose all three.

The Six Sisters Lodge is next door (must be rented separately) for those big reunions, weddings or retreats. Magnolia Manor is also a perfect reunion and retreat site. The large gourmet kitchen makes entertaining easy. Perfect waterfront wedding property. There are 4 desk areas for those who have to get a little work done on vacation and for corporate retreats. One room is a dedicated office space.

Bostwick's Magnolia Manor was named after a magnificent magnolia tree that Laura Bostwick planted over 43 years ago. Laura was a legend in her own right, being the Great Granddaughter of Jabez Bostwick, a founding partner of Standard Oil. She loved everything about this home, the grounds, the views, and the privacy it offered, but most of all, she loved Wanchese and its people. As an avid big game fisherman and gourmet chef, Laura loved to entertain and host huge dinner parties. Her parties included a vast mix of characters from the who's who of New York City to the lowly local fishermen, making it a unique experience for all. Originally built in 1930, Laura Bostwick acquired the estate in 1978 and made it her home for 43 years until her passing in 2021.

As the new owner, I am honored to keep her home and legacy alive. Come and experience the magic of Bostwick's Magnolia Manor for yourself, and who knows, maybe we'll even continue Laura's extravagant parties! Book your stay now and create unforgettable memories at this special place that Laura loved so much.

Amazing retreat
This is a beautiful property! From the super comfortable beds, to the well stocked gourmet kitchen, and backyard kayaks there is nothing that we could have imagined to want or need more. It is in a great location away from the hustle and bustle of things, but convenient to reach everything. Laurie was a wonderful host- accessible, knowledgeable about the local area, and so warm. We hope to be back there soon! Thank you Laurie!
