An extraordinary 4.69-acre waterfront estate 4,000 sq ft 2-story barn located on the Bay River/Pamlico Sound. This rare coastal property offers a unique blend of luxury waterfront living, outdoor recreation, privacy --all within one of Eastern NC's most sought-after boating and fishing regions. Designed for those who appreciate the outdoors and waterfront lifestyle, this fully improved property features direct water access with a private boat ramp, allowing easy launching directly from your backyard -- this site is conveniently situated as a straight shot by boat across the Pamlico Sound directly to the Outer Banks. The barn offers ample interior area space to store large sailboat - barn doors stand at 12 feet in height at both ends. The waterfront infrastructure includes a custom bulkhead, a large boat lift, and an oversized concrete dock equipped with water, electricity, tie-down cleats, fish cleaning station, and live bait box. Dock is designed to accommodate an additional lift if desired. The property is a true sportsman's paradise offering direct access to exceptional coastal fishing and recreation. Enjoy catching bull redfish, trout, flounder, shrimping, oyster harvesting, kayaking, and boating directly from your private waterfront retreat. At the center of the property is a spectacular custom-built 50' x 60' Amish-style pole barn completed in 2024. Built with exceptional craftsmanship and engineered for longevity, the structure incorporates heavy industrial load-bearing LVL wood beams, quadruple and triple stacked 2''x10'' wrapped support piers, stainless steel fasteners throughout, Hardie Board concrete siding, and a metal roof. Interior features include oversized custom cedar barn doors on engineered sliding rail systems, custom mechanical locks, one Dutch door, dimmable lighting, full bathroom, modern shower, antique triple-trough cast-iron sink, retractable water hoses, and operational water and electrical systems. Electrical service has also been extended from the barn to the dock as well as to future homesite area for the primary residence. The property has been thoughtfully elevated and graded for improved drainage using approximately 68 truckloads of fill dirt. Septic systems are installed to support both the barn and a future residence, creating multiple opportunities for building a custom waterfront home or family compound. Beautiful natural surroundings include mature pines, red and silver maple trees, holly trees, and rare naturally growing yaupon holly. Decorative boulders sourced from Chapel Hill further enhance the property's landscaping and curb appeal. The gated entrance with custom gate adds additional privacy and exclusivity. This exceptional waterfront property has previously been utilized by nationally recognized outdoor and conservation organizations for fly-fishing instruction, conservation programs, and guided kayak excursions, highlighting both the environmental significance and recreational quality of the site. Rarely does a property combine this level of waterfront infrastructure, acreage, recreational access, event capability, and future homesite flexibility in one offering. Truly a one-of-a-kind coastal opportunity.
