Soak in the Sound

Occano, a fully amenitized resort-style community, is waiting for you on the Albemarle Sound. This new community will offer endless opportunities to escape the city and reconnect with nature, friends, and family.

By Sponsored Partnership June 1, 2022 at 8:24 am

Situated on striking bluffs along the Albemarle Sound in Merry Hill, North Carolina, Occano promises to be a place enriched by the beauty of the water. Whether on an outdoor walk, a vacation destination, or the backdrop to your forever home, it’s hard to resist the pull of the water. Just 25 minutes from charming Edenton, with luxury amenities and a community of outdoor-loving, water enthusiasts, Occano will have something for everyone. 

Your Dream Home Awaits

With 834 sprawling residential acres, Occano will be a dream escape you can call home. Plans include 364 residences designed by Allison Ramsey Architects with lots ranging from $70,000–$250,000 and homes priced from $300,000–$1,200,000. 

Enjoy Luxury Amenities

Outdoor lovers can spend their days enjoying activities like golfing, biking, hiking, water sports, and much more. The existing bar and restaurant, beach club and pool, tennis courts, golf course and pro shop, and other amenities will be updated to reflect the Occano transformation. And as Occano grows, so will the list of offerings designed for an easy-flowing life near the water. Some of these additions include a clubhouse and village, event barn, hiking trails, marina, par-three short course, pickleball courts, community farm and garden, Himalayas putting green, and overnight lodging.

See the Beauty in Every Swing

Get out for a round and take in the stunning views throughout Occano’s award-winning Arnold Palmer Signature course. This beautiful course covers 7,262 yards with 5 sets of tees—perfect for any skill level. In the future, the course will be updated with additional cart paths, bridges, greens, and bunkers.
