Property Description
Completed in 2023 and set on nearly two private waterfront acres with approximately 100 feet of frontage and 6500 sq. ft. under roof, this refined, architecturally distinctive coastal low-country residence offers immediate connection to one of the most protected boating environments on the Carolina coast--linking seamlessly to Grace Harbor, the Intracoastal Waterway, Neuse River, and Pamlico Sound.
Designed to fully engage its setting, the home offers water views from every room, where light, sky, and open water become part of daily living. Over 4,900 square feet of heated interiors--including the garage-- are oriented around this experience, with expansive glass and a natural flow between spaces.
A directly connected flex/bonus room extends the home's versatility--ideal for guests, workspace, or additional living--while remaining fully integrated with the main residence.
The floor plan includes three bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath, with two primary suites with French doors opening up to the blue horizon. The kitchen, appointed with high-end appliances, connects easily to the home's gathering spaces, supporting both everyday living and entertaining.
Along the rear, an expansive, 1400 sq. ft., covered grand waterfront veranda serves as a true extension of the home--positioned to capture uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Sound and surrounding natural landscape from morning light through evening sky.
Built with long-term performance in mind, the home features ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction, offering superior strength, energy efficiency, and storm resilience. Additional features include a metal roof, whole-house generator, fiber optic and Starlink connectivity, low-maintenance materials, and a commercial-grade seawall.
River Dunes ownership includes access to The Harbor Club, a premier private yacht club, along with an award-winning marina, Harbor Village, fitness center, tennis, and waterfront amenities--placing the home within a complete boating ecosystem, not just a location.
This is a property where expansive waterfront presence, enduring construction, and marina lifestyle align--creating a coastal experience centered on light, openness, and connection to the water. From the owner:
"Life here is defined by the water and sky. On any given day, you'll see ospreys, eagles, herons, and countless waterfowl, along with dolphins moving just offshore. Sailboats and passing vessels glide quietly in the distance along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Sunrises and moonrises unfold over the Sound, while sunsets reflect across the creeks behind the home. After an afternoon rain, rainbows are common, and on clear evenings the night sky opens fully--constellations, planets, and even the Milky Way visible overhead.
It's a setting that changes constantly, yet always feels calm, open, and connected to the water."
