104 Cape Fear Dr, Shawboro, NC 27973

Why this home stands out

Built in 2016, this 1,595-square-foot home hits a sweet spot that older rural properties rarely offer: modern construction standards, efficient layouts, and lower maintenance demands, all on a Currituck County lot where the horizon feels wide open. You get the calm of small-town North Carolina without sacrificing the conveniences that come with a relatively recent build.

NORTH RIVER CROSSING and the Shawboro real estate market

Shawboro sits in the northeastern corner of Currituck County, North Carolina — a stretch of the state where farmland, wetlands, and waterways define the scenery rather than strip malls or subdivisions. The community along Cape Fear Drive carries that same character: low traffic, generous lot spacing, and neighbors who tend to know each other by name. Currituck County is one of the fastest-growing counties in North Carolina, yet Shawboro itself has held onto its rural identity, which is exactly the draw for people who want space without isolation. The Virginia border is only minutes north, putting Hampton Roads employment corridors within reach, and the northern Outer Banks — Corolla, Duck, and beyond — are an easy drive south. Daily life here moves at a pace you set yourself.

What's nearby

Grocery runs and everyday errands are straightforward with options in Moyock to the north and Elizabeth City to the south, each roughly 20 to 30 minutes away. The Currituck Sound and surrounding wildlife refuges give outdoor enthusiasts kayaking, fishing, and birding practically at their doorstep. Corolla Light and the wild horse beaches of the northern Outer Banks are under an hour south — the kind of weekend trip most people only dream about. For dining and retail variety, the Virginia Beach corridor is accessible via US-158 and NC-168.
