About this home
Rare opportunity to own approximately 8-10 acres of wooded land with prime frontage along Brices Creek within the City of New Bern. This unique property features mature trees, gently rolling topography, and some of the higher elevation land along Brices Creek, offering scenic views and a beautiful natural setting. Located directly across from the Croatan National Forest, the property provides a peaceful backdrop of protected natural landscape rarely found within city limits. Accessible from a cul-de-sac off Ella Sophia Lane near Hardee Farms Drive, the property offers a private, tucked-away feel while still being conveniently located near everyday amenities. City of New Bern utilities are available, providing added convenience and flexibility for future plans or potential development, subject to applicable approvals. With its elevated terrain and creek frontage, the property may be well suited for a private estate, family compound, or potential residential development such as duplexes or triplexes designed to take advantage of the views overlooking Brices Creek and the Croatan National Forest. The waterfront setting may also offer opportunities for future dock or water access possibilities (subject to permitting), creating options for fishing, kayaking, or enjoying the waterfront lifestyle. Additional acreage may also be available in the future with a neighboring tract expected to be offered separately, creating the potential to expand this already rare offering. Located just minutes from Downtown New Bern, with its waterfront, dining, shopping, and historic charm, this property offers the perfect balance of natural surroundings and city convenience. Large tracts of creekfront land within New Bern city limits are becoming increasingly rare, making this a standout opportunity for buyers seeking land, location, and long-term potential.
