Situated along a private stretch of the Trent River, this exceptional waterfront residence offers a rare combination of architectural craftsmanship, scale, and seclusion on approximately 3.16 acres in New Bern, North Carolina.
Extensively transformed through a multi-million-dollar renovation completed in 2009, the home reflects a timeless European villa influence, defined by hand-selected stonework, custom artisan finishes, and globally sourced materials that convey enduring quality. The result is a residence with both presence and permanence, designed to stand apart from typical coastal offerings.
The light-filled interior is arranged for both refined entertaining and everyday living, with expansive living areas, custom cabinetry, and a thoughtful layout that balances openness with privacy. Architectural details and material selection throughout the home emphasize quality and longevity, while maintaining a comfortable and livable environment.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering spa-level amenities and a quiet connection to the surrounding landscape. Additional living spaces provide flexibility for guests, extended stays, or multi-generational use.
Outdoor living areas are carefully oriented to capture river views and the property’s natural setting, creating a sense of privacy and calm that is increasingly rare. The scale of the grounds allows for both open space and natural buffering, reinforcing the property’s estate-like feel.
While the setting feels secluded, the home remains conveniently located to historic downtown New Bern, medical facilities, golf, and regional travel access.
This is a distinctive waterfront offering for buyers seeking privacy, architectural integrity, and a long-term residential presence within one of coastal North Carolina’s most established and desirable settings. Clive Christian Custom Fluted Cabinetry
