This approximately 1.8 acres of land 2 miles from downtown New Bern on Brices Creek Rd was home to the well known Kornegay Store for over 30 years. The old store is still standing but barely and at one time there were multiple mobile homes on the site too. There are 2 parcels included both of which are on a canal that boats used to be able to access the rear of the property. The seller has no knowledge of underground fuel tanks on the property but there is a lot of debris in the building and on the property including an old mobile home of no value. Please do not enter the building or go on the property without an agent and at your own risk. This is a very busy location for many different types of uses. There is no zoning, except airport height restricting any building over 169ft high. This once locally famous store, grill and boarding house, served the community for a long time.
