Some homes simply have a way of making life feel a little more spacious. Welcome to 105 Stump Sound Church Road, a thoughtfully designed four-bedroom, three-bath home resting on nearly an acre in Holly Ridge. Framed by mature live oaks and just a short drive from Topsail Island, this property pairs the ease of coastal living with the space and flexibility to truly settle in. Inside, the home feels comfortable and welcoming. The spacious great room offers plenty of room to gather, while the kitchen features an island, generous storage and two pantries. Just beyond, the dining area with wet bar and wine storage creates an inviting space for everything from quiet dinners at home to evenings spent with friends. The first-floor primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with two walk-in closets, separate vanities and an oversized tiled walk-in shower. A second bedroom on the main level adds flexibility for guests, an office or additional living needs. Upstairs, two more bedrooms, a full bathroom and a separate lounge area offer even more room to make the home your own. And then there's the space you rarely find. An oversized two-bay attached garage with conditioned storage is joined by a detached four-bay garage, creating nearly 2,000 square feet of combined garage and conditioned storage. It's an exceptional amount of space with endless possibilities--from a workshop or studio to vehicle storage, workspace or simply the luxury of having a place for everything. Outside may be where this home feels most special. Nearly an acre gives the property room to breathe, while established live oaks bring shade, character and a sense that this home has always belonged right where it is. Covered porches invite slow mornings, quiet evenings and a little more time spent outside. With no HOA and the beaches of Topsail Island just a short drive away, this is a home that offers more than square footage. It offers space to settle in, spread out and make it yours. Welcome home.

Who says you have to build a house on it? Tract 6 is 31.11 wooded acres on paved Davis Road, and this one is for the buyer whose land search has less to do with bedrooms and more to do with what happens outside. Hunt it. Cut trails through it. Create food plots. Set up a recreational retreat. Practice your marksmanship. Or simply own 31 acres and leave most of it exactly the way you found it. And here's where it gets interesting: the property backs up to a timber tract containing more than 500 acres. For a recreational or hunting buyer, having that much adjoining timberland makes these 31 acres feel like they're sitting on the edge of something much bigger. There's no HOA and no deed restrictions, and the property is zoned Rural Agricultural. The RA district provides for a broad range of potential uses, including agricultural and outdoor recreational uses. Shooting range facilities are specifically listed as a Special Use, along with other uses that may be worth exploring depending on what you have in mind. Buyers should confirm their intended use and any required approvals with Onslow County Planning & Development. This tract is not being sold as a residential building site. The soil evaluation did not identify soils suitable for conventional or alternative wastewater disposal, and the recorded survey identifies Tract 6 as not intended for development. If you're shopping for a homesite, one of the neighboring tracts will make more sense. But if you're shopping for woods, wildlife, recreation and acreage at roughly $3,858 per acre, keep reading. You're approximately 10 miles from Richlands, 12 miles from downtown Jacksonville, 16 miles from a Camp Lejeune gate and 28 miles from North Topsail Beach. No septic. No HOA. No deed restrictions. No need to pretend every piece of land needs a house. Sometimes 31 acres of woods is exactly what you were looking for.

If your current backyard can be mowed during a commercial break, maybe it's time for an upgrade. Tract 3 offers 6.30 acres on paved, state-maintained Davis Road, giving you enough room to spread out without signing up to maintain your own small county. There's no HOA and no deed restrictions, so bring your plans--and your stuff. Stick-built, modular and manufactured homes are allowed under the RA zoning. Want a shop? An outbuilding? Chickens? Horses? A garden ambitious enough to require its own tractor? There's room to think bigger here. RA zoning also allows ADUs, one duplex or one RV per parcel, subject to applicable county requirements. Here's where this tract gets especially interesting: septic testing is already complete, so the seller will provide two septic permits prior to closing. That gives the you options for how the property could be used and improved over time. The seller is even taking one more item off the land-buying to-do list by installing a culvert and some gravel for an access point from Davis Road. You can have your space without disappearing from civilization. Richlands is approximately 10 miles away, downtown Jacksonville about 12 miles, a Camp Lejeune gate about 16 miles and North Topsail Beach about 28 miles. Six acres is a funny amount of land. Big enough for chickens, a shop, a second septic permit and questionable tractor purchases. Small enough that you can still find your house.
