Property Description

Tucked away on the protected waters of Brown Creek, this exceptional waterfront estate offers nearly 18 acres of unrestricted privacy in one of Pamlico County’s most sought-after locations. With more than 400 feet of shoreline, this property is ideal for boating, fishing, and enjoying the natural beauty of Eastern North Carolina.

From sunrise over the creek to evenings filled with coastal breezes, life here unfolds in full color — deer grazing nearby, herons gliding across the water, and eagles soaring overhead. Surrounded by land, water, and sky, every day feels like a quiet luxury.

A private concrete dock is equipped with two boat lifts rated for 10,000 and 16,000 pounds, along with a fish-cleaning station for effortless days on the water.

The beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is filled with natural light and sweeping creek views. Hardwood floors run throughout, and expansive windows frame the scenery from nearly every room. A spacious recreation room with a bar area, half bath, and screened porch offers flexible living and entertaining space.

The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the home, while the split-bedroom layout provides privacy for owners and guests. The primary suite enjoys stunning water views, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with soaking tub and tiled shower.

Designed for easy coastal living, the home features durable fiber cement siding, expansive composite decking, covered parking, and an enclosed workshop and storage area beneath the elevated structure.

With convenient access to Broad Creek and the Neuse River, this extraordinary property combines privacy, acreage, and premier waterfront living in a setting that is elegant, effortless, and truly unforgettable. Originally built in 1987, the home has been thoughtfully renovated and expanded over the years, including extensive updates completed in 2004-2005 and again in 2012-2013.
