About this home

Waterfront opportunity! A private, waterfront bluff overlooking a small tranquil tributary of Smith Creek. This generously-proportioned 1.1+ acre waterfront tract in Oriental Plantation is quite unique- Your homesite is a canvas of towering hardwoods which are widely distributed to offer high shade and a mature open woodland feel! Gorgeous water and marsh views out to Smith Creek will be yours, as will the cooling breezes that come with the lot's favorable SE exposure! The lot also features over 220' of kayak-able waterfrontage... The land and homesite are graceful and the topography is well elevated, but with great positive drainage to the wetland fringe. This permits a homesite above the 100-year flood zone and offering privacy and beautiful habitat for the area's abundant birdlife! You'll feel as though you are living in your own personal park... Winding Creek Drive, not a thoroughfare, makes the perfect lane for afternoon walks in the shade and bike riding. This property is literally ''just around the corner'' from Oriental Plantation's amenity area - which awaits with the clubhouse, pool and tennis (or pickleball) court!! Launch your fishing boat or kayaks from the community boat ramp to enjoy the splendid opportunities unique to the vicinity's waterways - some of the best fishing in Eastern NC. Please consider this investment opportunity...Come be a part of our most comfortable, friendly and welcoming neighborhood... This is your unique chance to enjoy waterfront beauty and neighborhood amenities in a most affordable way!
