Southern Shores 5 Bedroom Homes For Sale

Rare oceanfront privacy in the heart of Southern Shores. Positioned on a beautifully landscaped 100-foot oceanfront homesite in the highly desirable X Flood Zone, 112 Ocean Boulevard offers a setting that is increasingly difficult to find on the Outer Banks. Mature vegetation, a long private approach, and expansive dune frontage create a true sense of arrival — more reminiscent of a private coastal estate than a traditional beach house. Cherished as a second home for more than two decades, the property has been thoughtfully maintained and presents a unique opportunity as a primary residence, legacy retreat, or investment property along one of the most sought-after stretches of the OBX coastline. Inside, the home blends classic coastal character with warmth and functionality. Vaulted cedar ceilings, skylights, and a dramatic wall of oceanfront windows fill the main living space with natural light and sweeping Atlantic views. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create an inviting setting for gathering with family and guests. Multiple bedroom suites provide flexibility and privacy, including a serene oceanfront primary suite with direct deck access and panoramic water views. Additional guest rooms and loft areas offer comfortable accommodations for extended family and visitors alike. Outdoor living is where the property truly separates itself. Expansive wraparound decking, a private dune walkover, mature landscaping, and one of the widest stretches of beach in Southern Shores create a level of privacy rarely found along the coastline. Additional outdoor features include a private putting green, covered parking, multiple storage areas, and an outdoor shower with bath access. Large oceanfront parcels with this level of depth, separation, and usable outdoor space are increasingly rare on the Outer Banks, offering exceptional long-term potential for expanded outdoor living and future enhancements. Ideally located along the quiet, scenic stretch of Ocean Boulevard, the property offers convenient access to Duck Village, the Southern Shores marina, private beach access points, and Duck Woods Country Club and golf course. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive oceanfront property where privacy, scale, and location come together in a way that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate on the Outer Banks.
