Can you provide a backstory to this? I presume it is been abandoned now?

Perfectly safe. Climate change is a myth being pushed by the Soros-funded libtards because they hate America, or something.

You cannot convince me there aren’t ghosts in that house.

Some fall into the sea and others they move. The one from the movie Nights in Rodanthe got moved back further from the ocean.

Is this when they say Biden did it?

Looks like something I would build in Rust.

I never understood why people built their houses right next to the ocean. Especially in areas where hurricanes hit regularly.

I used to rent these houses with a group of friends during vacations 15-20 years ago…

Heading to Avon Saturday! Our rental is on the sound side, our dog loves the calm water and loves jumping in with the kids. I love the Outer Banks.

I’ve vacationed in Rodanthe many times. Once staying in a home where the water would come up under the house. It was a very cool experience. The town itself is very relaxing. And great shelling especially after storms.

The house from A Series of Unfortunate Events?

Yep! The Atlantic has been claiming homes here for decades. In parts of Kitty hawk and Nags Head you aren’t allowed to rebuild due to erosion.

If you’re gonna build your house that close to the ocean . This is gonna sound wild. But why would you not put it on a trailer? So you can move it.

It’s like the house from A Series of Unfortunate Events. That scene always gave me nightmares.
How exactly does plumbing and utilities work in this type of situation?
Realistic-lie35 on
I’m curious. Was this building always so close to the sea or is this from shore line erosion?

I bet its crooked af inside that mf.

Same with Fire Island (New York)
The sand and ocean eats shore houses all the time.

My wallet hurts just thinking about how much the insurance costs.

There are still entire towns in the Outer Banks. Many are only accessible by driving on the beach for miles. Some of the homes are incredibly elaborate and expensive. There are herds of wild horses that roam the town and the beach/dunes.
I once rented a Harley and road down kitty hawk route 12 down thru Hatteras passing rodanthe (where this place is located) I dont remember the year likely 2011 or 2012 and ill never forget this extremly narrow section with ocean on either side of the highway. It was a very you are miniscule feeling being surrounded by all that water. And those tiny surf towns are crazy way to live

Honestly, every beach front property in California, the Carolinas or The Keys makes me feel this way.
Time + water = Erosion.
5, 10, or 50 years….At some point the earth will give way- and your ‘beach front harbour property’ will *plummet* in value; completely over night.

Beautiful beaches. Go see them before they are gone.

Rodanthe NC, these houses weren’t originally built so close to the ocean, but literally decades of erosion does that, also the entire outer banks is nothing but Sand, no actual solid ground, could happen anywhere on the OBX, the sand dunes in Kitty Hawk for example move and swallow whole houses.

My auntie used to have one of those houses. Super sweet vacation spot. Theres a little go kart race track nearby we used to race in (2012ish)

I swear i could make this house tip over if I ran into the wall as hard as I could.

Might be a stupid quesiton, but who is responsible for when the house does collapse into the water? The owner, or state? haha

Utilities lines and plumbing are buried in the sand?

Probably still cost 3 million dollars
Late-Jicama5012 on
I remember those houses in the 90s. They were considered most expensive at the time because they were built so close to the ocean.

It is literally a shifting sandbar. They are barrier islands doing what barrier islands do. The craziest part is I spent every summer out there for 5 years and recognized exactly where you were haha I love Nags Head but Avon is best

All of these millionaire retreats have subsided federal flood insurance so what do they care
How is that timber not rotting like crazy, even if it’s treated.
how does plumbing work with a house like this?

That is a ridiculous place to put a house.
Not far from this, in Cape Hatteras NC, the US Park Service moved the historic [Cape Hatteras Lighthouse](https://www.nps.gov/caha/learn/historyculture/movingthelighthouse.htm) because of shore erosion like this. It was incredibly cool.
Oh shit this is the house from The Elementals
