26689 Highway 12

The Ultimate Hatteras Island Live-Work-Invest Opportunity! Prime Highway 12 Mixed-Use Commercial Property with Residential Income & Development Potential. Rare commercial real estate opportunity in the heart of Salvo on Hatteras Island. This high-visibility Highway 12 property offers a versatile mixed-use layout featuring commercial showroom space, operational/storage areas, and a residential apartment consisting of one studio and two one-bedroom units. Ideal for owner occupancy, employee housing, vacation rentals, or additional income, the residential component adds flexibility rarely found in Outer Banks commercial properties. Private decks, ocean and sound views, and a prime location in one of the area's busiest tourism corridors further enhance the property's appeal. The property's value extends beyond its current use. A grease trap has already been installed, and prior approvals were obtained for an ice cream shop and smoothie bar concept, creating additional opportunities for food service, cafe, coffee shop, restaurant, retail, or other commercial ventures. This added infrastructure significantly expands the property's potential and mixed-use value. Positioned within a thriving Outer Banks vacation market, this property offers exceptional potential for retail, recreation, service-based businesses, mixed-use operations, or investment purposes. The opportunity grows even larger with the adjacent cleared parcel (MLS #133237), also owned by the sellers and must be included via separate contract in the sale of commercial building. Zoned S-1 Special District, the neighboring lot offers additional flexibility for commercial expansion, mixed-use development, workforce housing, lodging, or future investment opportunities. For buyers interested in continuing the property's current use, equipment, rental inventory, golf carts, fixtures, and merchandise may be available through separate purchase between buyer and seller. Whether you're seeking an Outer Banks commercial investment, mixed-use property, live-work opportunity, or future development site, properties offering this combination of location, flexibility, residential income, and expansion potential are increasingly rare on Hatteras Island.
