About this home
Discover an exceptional opportunity along the shores of Emerald Isle with Australian Gold, an impressive oceanfront duplex offered in its entirety. Comprised of Australian Gold East and West, this distinctive property combines two separately appointed, multi-level residences into one remarkably versatile coastal offering--ideal as an investment property, second-home compound, or a combination of personal retreat and income-producing vacation rental.
Together, the two sides offer 8 bedrooms and 8 full plus 2 half baths, with each residence thoughtfully designed across multiple levels to maximize privacy and capture spectacular Atlantic Ocean views. Both sides feature spacious living and dining areas, well-equipped kitchens, fireplaces, wet bars, multiple bedroom suites, laundry facilities and abundant outdoor living space. The upper-level and penthouse accommodations take full advantage of the setting, while decks overlooking the ocean create an ever-changing backdrop of sunrises, sea breezes and rolling surf.
The outdoor experience is equally compelling. Each side enjoys its own private walkway leading toward the beach, an oceanfront gazebo with seating and hammock, outdoor shower and direct access to the sand. Multiple decks and covered outdoor areas provide inviting spaces for relaxing after a day on the water. Australian Gold East adds a private oceanfront hot tub/spa and putting green, while the West residence offers its own collection of amenities designed for effortless beach living.
Perhaps the property's greatest advantage is its flexibility. Operate East and West as two independent vacation rentals, reserve one side for personal use while generating income from the other, or make both available together to accommodate larger groups seeking the rare combination of proximity and privacy.
Australian Gold has an established vacation-rental presence, and current guest reviews repeatedly highlight the home's oceanfront location, thoughtful amenities, generous space and ease of beach access.
Located directly on the Atlantic in the heart of Emerald Isle, 3903 Ocean Drive presents a combination rarely available in a single offering: two oceanfront residences, direct beach access, multiple private outdoor spaces, established rental appeal and extraordinary versatility.
Both residences have benefited from an extensive collection of seller improvements and enhancements designed to elevate comfort, functionality and the overall coastal living experience.
Whether envisioned as an income-producing coastal investment, a multigenerational beach retreat, or a property offering the ability to enjoy one residence while renting the other, Australian Gold is an opportunity to own not simply an oceanfront home--but an entire oceanfront experience....
