Our family has a love for the coast and an affinity for the historic town of Beaufort, North Carolina, a waterfront community and one time home of the notorious pirate, Blackbeard. We love to boat, surf, scuba dive, sail, kayak, fish and wander the beaches in search of ocean treasures. We gravitate to all things nautical including GREAT seafood and seaside ambience. We are adventure seekers and this coastal home is the perfect getaway where we can pursue all our seaside passions. We named the house Nimbus Novem which was the name of our first sailboat, a 1972 29 foot Ericson that was our young family's camper on the water from 1999 to 2015. Nimbus Novem or Cloud Nine translated from Latin, was built in 2019 in the community of Beaucoast and is a 2nd home for the Exums. The house runs off a solar array system with Tesla panels and 2 whole-house backup Tesla Powerwall batteries. In the event of a power outage, this house will continue to be powered by solar energy and battery backup. Nimbus Novem is also vacation rental we are excited to share with other adventure seekers. Beaucoast is a planned community with dock for launching kayaks and temporary boat mooring, a kayak storage barn, a community swimming pool, a fitness center, a boutique convenience store “Traders”, a clubhouse with ping pong tables, picturesque kayak & fishing ponds and an inviting close knit community of homeowners and vacation goers.
