Incredible custom home right on the water. Unobstructed view of Figure Eight/Middle Sound over the Intracoastal Waterway on Middle Sound Loop in Wilmington NC. Amazing vistas over the Sound and ICW. Great birding site - herons, egrets, ospreys, kingfishers, oystercatchers, and seagulls. We often see dolphins up close, and fishermen love our area!
Your own private dock with 24 hour deepwater access, plenty of water toys including kayak, stand-up paddleboard. Personal powerboat is available for a supplemental fee, and can be waiting at your private dock from our friends at nearby Entropy Boat Rentals.
The house boasts a 40 foot dock, which provides power outlet and filtered freshwater supply for boating convenience. We even provide crabpots for those inclined to catch Carolina blue crab and the occasional stone crab. Very good site for casting right off our dock. After the devastating hurricane of September 2018, we rebuilt the dock entirely with 316-grade stainless steel fasteners,fittings and cleats, all new pilings and decking, a 4-ft width aluminum ramp, and a 40x10 foot floating dock.
This well-apportioned, immaculate home is an Interior Designer's personal residence. The stunning east-facing master suite rewards the early riser with striking sunrise hues and sweeping views of Figure Eight inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway. The master suite has its own deck, and en suite private bathroom with a huge shower and coupled showerheads. Another upper level bedroom is also en suite with its own deck with built-in seating, while the third upper bedroom is also en suite. Each bedroom is customized but harmonious with the cheerful color scheme.
A full-width deck ensures a wonderful view from the entire main level, whose open floorplan allows for easy entertaining. On the lower level, the full-width patio features Adirondack chairs and a hammock for enjoying the waterfront vista, as well as an outdoor grill to broil your fresh catch to perfection.
Privacy and luxury abound at "Maison Blanc", furnished in harmonious colors, enhanced by striking original sailing photographs, and by vintage Art Deco travel and sporting posters. Contactless check-in and enhanced cleaning are standard, for your peace of mind. We love our home, and invite you to see why!

About the host
Hosted by Lane and Jon
We are a mismatched couple. He's the Carolina sportsman with no fashion sense. She's the stylish interior designer and a reformed New Englander. Together, we enjoy boating, beachcombing, and giving each other the most important gift of all: time.
Why they chose this property
We absolutely love being right on the waterfront, and enjoy 24-hour boating access from our private dock. We recently renovated the house. The new master suite is stunning, and the just-completed ground floor sitting room has an awesome picture window view!
The house is sited so as to have a full view of the sunrise, with top-floor master suite deck, main-floor whole house-length deck, and ground floor patio, all of which reward the early riser.
The professionally landscaped yard features a fully-fenced backyard. A short fixed pier and a 40’ x 10’ floating dock are fun to tie up your own boat or a rental boat from Entropy Rentals next-door. Fishing and crabbing are also great from the dock or on the water. At low tide, there is a sandbar that’s a stones throw from our dock.
By boat there is very easy access to Wrightsville Beach, Figure Eight beaches or Lea-Hutaff Island beaches. (Lee Hutaff Island is an Audubon bird sanctuary and is uninhabited and delightful).
What makes this property unique
The first time we opened the front door and saw the view, we knew that this was the place. Picturesque, private, immaculate, and wonderful. We hope you'll enjoy "Maison Blanc" as much as we do!
