The Castle on Silver Lake
The Castle on Silver Lake Outer Banks of North Carolina is for Sale
The Castle on Silver Lake, located on Ocracoke Island, the southernmost island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is on the National Register of Historic Places. This unique structure has a past as colorful as its architecture.
Built in 1954 for wealthy industrialist Sam Jones, the Castle was modernized but retains the original wood walls, ceilings, and trim work, including beautiful dental molding in most rooms.
The Castle offers refined and upscale accommodation while maintaining the casual feeling of an Ocracoke cottage.
A widow's walk and third-floor deck provide stunning views of Silver Lake Harbor, the Ocracoke Lighthouse, Pamlico Sound, and a distant ocean view from the rear of the widow's walk.
The Castle shares a pool, pool house, bikes, grilling area, and a floating dock on the harbor.
Ocracoke’s thirteen miles of unspoiled, pristine beaches are perfect for swimming, surfing, or just relaxing in the sun.
Enjoy fishing, boating, and kayaking on nearby Pamlico Sound. Each year, families return to Ocracoke to soak up the natural beauty and to experience this special place in new and familiar ways.
Park your car when you get here and walk, ride your bike, or rent a golf cart and tour around our small village community.
Historic charm and freshly caught seafood!
All the essentials are here and a lot more, but there are no shopping centers, fast food restaurants, or chain stores.
Be sure to visit our island’s unique, locally owned shops and galleries – the local art is inspiring.
The seafood is the freshest around whether you catch it yourself, buy it at one of the local seafood shops, or have it prepared by talented chefs in one of our outstanding local restaurants.
Be sure to visit magical Springer’s Point Nature Preserve.
Walk the same path the famous pirate Blackbeard and his crew walked through the pristine maritime forest and end up along a sandy beach on Pamlico Sound.
Enjoy the abundance of restaurants, local musical talent, try parasailing over the sound, charter one of the local boats, or take an excursion to Portsmouth Island – there’s so much to explore and experience.
