VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

102 Wade Ave sits on 0.61 acres in the quiet, nature-forward community of Knotts Island, North Carolina — a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home built in 1994 that trades city noise for open skies, genuine elbow room, and a pace of life that's hard to find anywhere close to Hampton Roads.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 102 Wade Ave apart is the combination of a generous half-acre-plus lot and a location that most people in the region don't even know exists. Knotts Island is a genuine geographic outlier — a peninsula community accessible by ferry or a scenic drive through Currituck — and that geography creates a natural buffer from suburban sprawl. At 1,918 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the home offers real living space without the density trade-off.

KNOTTS ISLAND NC and the Knotts Island real estate market

Knotts Island NC is one of the most distinctive addresses in the entire Hampton Roads–Outer Banks corridor. Technically part of Currituck County, the island sits between Currituck Sound and the Atlantic coast, connected to the mainland by a free state ferry and a longer overland route through Virginia. That mild geographic isolation is exactly the point — residents here are surrounded by wildlife refuges, open farmland, and water views that feel a world away from Virginia Beach or Norfolk. The pace is unhurried. Neighbors tend to know each other. Hunting and fishing culture runs deep, and the Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge is essentially in the backyard of the entire community. If you've been searching for a property that genuinely delivers on the promise of quiet country living while staying within reach of a major metro, Knotts Island delivers in a way that few places can. The community is small, the scenery is real, and the sense of space at 102 Wade Ave reflects the character of the island itself.

What's nearby

Daily life on Knotts Island means planning ahead, and most residents find that trade-off well worth it. The Knotts Island Ferry connects to Currituck on the mainland, putting you within reach of grocery stores, pharmacies, and everyday services in Currituck County. The Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge is minutes away by car or bike and offers miles of trails and wildlife observation. For a broader day out, Virginia Beach is accessible via the northern overland route, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina are reachable to the south through Currituck. The island itself has a small market and a post office, keeping basics close to home.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Dam Neck Annex is roughly 42 minutes from Knotts Island, making 102 Wade Ave a realistic option for personnel stationed there who want serious space and privacy off base. A VA loan can make a property like this — a three-bedroom home on more than half an acre — genuinely accessible, and the lower land costs on the island often mean more home for your housing allowance than you'd find closer to the base.

For buyers drawn to character

If cookie-cutter subdivisions have never appealed to you, Knotts Island is the antidote. This is a community with a real identity — watermen, farmers, wildlife enthusiasts, and people who simply chose to opt out of suburban density. A 1994-built home on 0.61 acres here gives you room to garden, keep animals, or simply breathe. There's a reason people who find Knotts Island tend to stay.
