Accessible by 4x4 only. This 18-bedroom oceanfront home magically combines grandeur with the feel of the old Outer Banks. The warmth of natural materials abounds in marble, stone and slate, generously-tiled bathrooms, granite kitchen and bar tops and tile and heart pine flooring. A commercial-type, Viking kitchen and ample dining space make meals a pleasure. Several well-stocked libraries and other private places provide opportunities for quiet retreat. The pool table, baby grand piano with player-piano option, printer/copier/fax and PA system provide the tools needed for every occasion. Enjoy sunrises over the ocean and sunsets on the sound from this home’s high elevation and extensive decking. A stroll on the raised walkway leads you to the large pool and pool house, gazebo, a chance to see wild horses and ultimately the ocean. The Mark Twain invites you to relax, escape the hardships of everyday life and create cherished beach vacation memories. Approximately 2.3 miles up the beach.
