Just Listed: Lot#111 Anchors Away Road, Salters Haven, Hampstead

0:00Welcome to Real Stories with Buddy Blake. Today's episode features real estate insights from Buddy Blake. Let's dive in. All right, so today we're talking about a new listing out in Salters Haven at Lea Marina, lot number 111 on Anchors Away Road.

0:23Buddy, welcome back. Hey, good to be here. Yeah, this one's a fun one to talk about because it's just, it's a clean, simple opportunity. A corner lot, already cleared, sitting at $225,000.

0:35Okay, already cleared. So what does that actually save somebody who's thinking about building? Well, think about it this way. A lot of the early groundwork, the stuff nobody really wants to deal with, it's already handled.

0:50You can walk the property today and actually picture it, where the house sits, where the porch goes. That's a big head start. And it's a corner lot, specifically.

1:00Does that change things versus just a regular interior lot? It does. A corner lot just gives you more open feel, more room to work with, and honestly, it's got that curb appeal factor before you've even poured a foundation.

1:13The way it's positioned kind of frames the whole thing. I love that. It's like the lot's already doing some of the design work for you. So let's talk about the community itself, Salters Haven at Lea Marina.

1:27What's the draw there? So this is a waterfront community, and it's really built around water access and shared amenities. According to the listing, residents get access to a community marina right on the intercoastal waterway, a pool, a clubhouse, and the common areas are maintained for you.

1:44Marina on the intracoastal? That's not nothing. And I saw storage mentioned, too. Yeah, there's RV and boat storage available.

1:52And look, if you're the type who's got the toys that go along with coastal living, the boat, the RV, that matters. That's not a small detail for a lot of buyers out here. Right.

2:03Because otherwise, you're paying for storage somewhere else. Or you just don't have anywhere to put it. Exactly. And the thing about this particular lot is it's within reach of the marina, the pool, the clubhouse, so none of that's a drive away.

2:19It's just part of daily life here. So whether somebody's building a full-time home or more of a coastal getaway, that proximity works either way. It does.

2:31Having the water, the pool, and storage for a boat or RV all close by, that's a real advantage when you're deciding where to actually put your house. Let's zoom out a little. What's the appeal of Hampstead itself for folks who aren't familiar?

2:46Hampstead's a good middle ground, honestly. You've got shopping and everyday conveniences right there, Wilmington's within reach if you want city amenities or need the airport, and the beaches aren't far off either. So you're not sacrificing convenience for the water access.

3:01No, that's the thing. You kind of get both. And if folks want to see what else is out there, we've got homes for sale on Hampstead listed and there's a Hampstead Market Insights page that breaks down what's really happening with listings in the area.

3:16Okay, now you called this a rare opportunity in the write-up. Talk to me about that. Is it really that uncommon? Lots like this one just don't come up often in Salters Haven.

3:29A cleared corner lot this close to the marina and the pool in an established waterfront community, that combination's hard to find and it doesn't tend to sit on the market long. So, if someone's been watching this neighborhood, waiting for the right site to open up… this might be it.

3:47And there's more to look at, too. We've got a page on the Salters Haven at Lee Marina Neighborhood itself. And if you're weighing new construction options nearby, that page is worth a look as well.

3:58And what if somebody's got a home to sell first, before they can even think about building here? That's a common situation, honestly. We've got a sellin' in Hampstead page that walks through what that looks like, step by step.

4:11This was great, buddy. So if somebody wants to see this lot in person, or just talk through what it'd take to build out there, what do they do? Give us a call or shoot us a text, 910-395-1000.
