Discover an exceptional coastal property offering approximately 25.45± acres across three combined parcels in the highly desirable Oriental, NC area of Pamlico County. Conveniently located near River Dunes and the renowned sailing waters of Eastern North Carolina. This rare offering delivers privacy, waterfront access, existing infrastructure, and outstanding future potential. Tucked away in a quiet and secluded setting near the end of the road, the property is perfectly suited for a private waterfront estate, multi-generational retreat, recreational getaway, or possible residential development opportunity.
The land offers a beautiful mix of waterfront scenery, mature wooded acreage, and abundant wildlife habitat with frequent sightings of deer, turkey, and bear. The main waterfront tract spans approximately 10.7 acres with a long gravel entrance road leading to an already cleared homesite with scenic water views and excellent privacy. Existing improvements include a sturdy concrete dock equipped with electricity, water, and a 10,000 lb electric boat lift providing immediate boating access and convenience. A permitted 4-bedroom septic system and utilities are in place, making this parcel ready for your future home or retreat.
An additional 4.25± acre waterfront parcel provides even more flexibility and value. This tract includes an approved CAMA permit for a future dock, an expired 3-bedroom septic permit, and access to both power and water along the roadway. Whether utilized as an additional homesite, guest property, or added privacy buffer, this parcel offers tremendous potential. Completing the offering is approximately 10.5 acres of wooded land located across the street, ideal for recreation, hunting, privacy, or long-term investment potential. The combined acreage features more than 900 feet of creek frontage and over 700 feet of road frontage, creating excellent access and an ideal setup for enjoying coastal living, boating, kayaking, and fishing.
Properties of this size, with privacy and waterfront quality, rarely become available in this area. This is a unique opportunity to secure a substantial coastal landholding with existing improvements and endless possibilities.
