About 197 Bahama Dr
A Rare Find in Northern Hampstead - Welcome to Snug Harbor!

Whether you're looking for a charming coastal retreat or space to grow/maintain a business, this property delivers unmatched flexibility and potential. Standout features include: the main home, full of character and ready for your personal updates, a brand new/permitted, oversized detached 2-car garage (864 sq ft) with its own power meter and HVAC, plus a finished walk-up bonus space above (approx. 628 sq ft) with a walk-out balcony, an additional OVERSIZED detached 1-car garage (432 sq ft) with an unfinished walk-up loft, a separate storage shed, 2-car carport, and detached boat-carport with lean-to storage, and access to the Snug Harbor boat ramp and parking area at the end of Jamaica Drive. A portion of the main home is heated and cooled by a conv split system and assisted by multiple mini-splits for the remainder. The lot is fully fenced, and the septic system was just pumped.

Come see all the possibilities that this cozy cottage with some flex in Snug Harbor has to offer (the kids might say that this property ''slaps'')--opportunities like this don't come around often. Pender County could not provide an original septic permit; permits obtained/recovered reference the garage and the existing septic has NOT been tied into the septic system.
