About this home

If you've been looking for the right spot to build near the water, this 1-acre homesite in The Cloisters is definitely worth a look. Tucked away on quiet Serenity Circle, this lot offers a great mix of privacy, natural surroundings, and canal frontage--giving you that coastal feel without being right out on the open water. There's plenty of space here to design the kind of home you really want, with room for outdoor living, a garage, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The canal frontage adds to the setting, and you're just a short distance from the community marina and easy access to the Neuse River and beyond. The Cloisters is a smaller waterfront community near Oriental, offering amenities that include a clubhouse, pool, fitness room, and community dock. With fewer homes throughout the neighborhood, it maintains a quiet, uncrowded feel while still being just minutes from town where you'll find restaurants, shops, and everything that makes Oriental such a great place to be. Whether you're planning to build now or down the road, this is a solid opportunity to own a nice piece of property in a great location. Come take a look and see if it feels like the right fit for you.
