Property Description
Every town has one. An iconic location that defines a region, a lifestyle, a way of life. Quail Run Road in Wilmington, NC is just that type of place. An address whose name means something to knowledgeable locals. Now available is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a legacy waterfront estate on approximately 6.5 acres of high, dry land in one of the city's most desirable locations. This private road is tucked within the coveted ''WB Bubble'' just off Greenville Loop, where only right turns lead to Wrightsville Beach. Quail Run embodies a lifestyle best described as Beach Meets Barn. Conceived with equestrian living in mind, neighboring estates still reflect that heritage with barns, horses and expansive grounds - yet here, boats also get to live right outside your door. Perhaps the most distinctive feature is nearly 375 linear feet of frontage on a protected deep-water canal. Free from wake and wave action, the setting offers a uniquely serene docking experience. Routine dredging maintains navigability at all tides, delivering the rare combination of protected water and true deep-water access. A $450,000 waterfront enhancement is nearing completion: modern bulkhead with walkway surround, 80-foot floating dock and 25-foot loading dock. A grandfathered covered boathouse protects the lift and vessel from sun exposure. Zero fixed pier allows direct access from bulkhead to floating dock, making loading and unloading seamless and convenient. The former residence, accessory structures and tennis court have been removed, creating a clean canvas to design an estate entirely your own. Few waterfront properties offer this much freedom to dream. Elevated topography provides a high-bluff homesite with potential to position the residence outside the flood zone. No HOA. Existing deed protections limit future subdivision, preserving Quail Run's remarkable low-density character and offering something increasingly rare: the confidence of knowing neighboring estates will remain intact and not become a collection of sub-divided homesites. 50-foot side setbacks further preserve privacy, creating a minimum 100 feet between neighboring homes. 6420 Quail Run is an extraordinary setting for a private family estate or generational compound. A remarkable combination of acreage, elevation, privacy and water frontage. This is truly rare earth. A legacy property intended to endure for generations.
