Why they chose this property
Aquaterra was custom built in 2011, on a beautiful private lot with both a sunny pool area and several separate deck areas shaded by numerous live oaks. Aquaterra was built to be "a home" - it is NOT your typical "rental machine." Aquaterra is located on a small, quiet cul-de-sac with both full-time, year-round residents and a few rental homes.
What makes this property unique
Located in the heart of Duck - Walk to everything.
