The Easy Plateau

Welcome to Beaufort, the “Coolest Small Town in America,” the “Best Small Town for Adventure,” and “America’s Favorite Town,”* titles earned recently and with good reason.

This charming town has been a magnet for excitement for hundreds of years—and was a known hangout for pirates—including Blackbeard himself! He resided close by and most likely moored his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, right out front (stop at the NC Maritime Museum and see artifacts recovered from that shipwreck). Undoubtedly, he crossed this very yard after a long stretch of pillaging overseas!!

The house itself is supplied with everything you need for convenience, comfort, and recreation. The welcoming front porch is perfect for watching the parade of boats drift by under the sunset and greeting neighbors. Indoors you will find Smart TVs in the cozy living room, a spacious dining area for gathering, and a modern kitchen for cooking together. There are three bedrooms with Smart TVs and a wood-paneled bonus room (with a full bed) inspired by Hemingway’s boat, “Pilar.” There are two bathrooms as well, one is a half bath with direct access to an outdoor shower. Bathing in the fresh air is one of life’s simple pleasures!

The Front Street address is ideal for its views of Taylor’s Creek, with wild horses across the way and dolphins easy to spot frolicking. A half-mile stroll is historic downtown, home to fine dining, shops and cafes, creekfront cocktails, art walks, and more. There are always fun activities in town, including live music, ghost walks, and pirate tours.

The property features:

• A huge floating dock for two boats
• A floating kayak dock
• A swim ladder
• A fish cleaning station
• Bench seating

With deep and calm water, Taylor's Creek is the ideal safe harbor. Bring your boat and take the opportunity to cruise The Cape Lookout National Seashore—recently voted the best National Park. Head to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or island hop to your heart’s content. The beaches and the Crystal Coast are pristine places of beauty.

We can’t wait for you to enjoy our sweet and peaceful home in a neighborhood that is private and in a quiet community focused on southern hospitality and harmony. Cheers from The Easy Plateau!
