Not everybody wants a neighborhood. Some folks would rather have a barn than a clubhouse, a tractor instead of a golf cart, and enough room to do what they want without getting a letter from the HOA. If that sounds like you, keep reading. Situated on approximately 25 acres across two parcels in Craven County with a Kinston address, this property offers the kind of freedom that's getting harder to find. Located about 12 miles from Kinston and 36 miles from Greenville, it's close enough to run to town when you need something, but far enough away that nobody's worried about what you've got parked in the yard. The brick home was built in 1950 and offers approximately 1,675 heated square feet plus a 353-square-foot walk-up attic for additional storage. It's not a brand-new HGTV remodel, but it's comfortable, functional, and ready for the next owner to make it their own over time. Features include hardwood floors, knotty pine accents, solid wood doors, a gas fireplace, gas range, tankless water heater, separate laundry room, vinyl windows, high-speed internet availability, whole-home generator, and a recently remodeled bathroom with a beautiful walk-in shower. Outside is where this property really earns its keep. The detached barn includes a large shop area, office space, bathroom, storage areas, and 220-volt power. Whether you're working on equipment, running a small business, woodworking, restoring old cars, or simply need a place for your hobbies, you'll appreciate the flexibility this space offers. Additional improvements include a carport, covered shelter with horse stall, storage building, fenced pasture, and plenty of room for horses, livestock, equipment, trailers, RVs, boats, side-by-sides, and all the other things people tend to accumulate when they finally get enough land. Open pasture, productive farmland, mature woods, and frontage along Alligator Branch provide opportunities for recreation, animals, gardening, hunting, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A portion of the property is currently farmed in soybeans and corn under an annual crop lease, helping maintain the agricultural character of the property. The property is also located within a Voluntary Agricultural District buffer area. Major improvements include shingle replacement, tankless water heater, and HVAC updates all since 2010. A recent wood-destroying insect inspection has been completed, and the seller is getting a boundary survey for the buyer's benefit. If your idea of a good property includes a house with a barn, pasture, workshop, and enough room to do what you want without asking permission, this one deserves a look. Bring the horses, a few cows, the tractor, boat, camper, and all the projects you've been meaning to finish. There's room for it here.

Hog Island encompasses approximately 950 acres of pristine coastal Carolina landscape along the Neuse River, offering a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and recreational opportunity. The property is defined by its varied terrain, with elevations rising up to 30 feet above sea level. The higher ground is dominated by large pine trees and scattered hardwoods, while the low-lying areas feature vast stands of cypress and gum, interspersed with marsh grasses that fringe the island's edges. This diverse environment creates a thriving habitat for deer, turkey, waterfowl, and countless other species, making the island an ideal setting for hunters, outdoorsmen, and wildlife enthusiasts. The island's conservation easement allows for responsible use and development, with approximately 31 acres outside of the easement boundaries, providing flexibility for future improvements while maintaining the property's natural integrity. Established food plots, permanent deer stands, and duck blinds already enhance the recreational appeal, and there are numerous opportunities to expand with additional plots, stands, and hunting areas. Turkey Ridge, one of the most accessible portions of the property, features a permanent stand and is well suited for cultivation of larger food sources to attract wildlife. Improvements include a thoughtfully placed residence situated to capture prevailing breezes and designed with a screened porch overlooking the Neuse River and private dock. The interior offers an open layout with rare white juniper finishes, multiple bedrooms, and modern amenities, while a 5 kW solar array, updated lithium batteries, inverter, and a permitted well provide reliable off-grid living. Additional structures include a large shed for equipment and tractor storage, supporting the property's recreational and practical uses. With its combination of upland ridges, mature timber, cypress-dominated wetlands, and expansive marsh, Hog Island is both a rich wildlife sanctuary and a sporting paradise. From trophy deer and abundant turkey to wintering ducks along secluded waters, the property offers unparalleled opportunities for hunting, fishing, and outdoor living. Just minutes from historic New Bern and with direct access to Pamlico Sound, this extraordinary island represents one of North Carolina's most distinctive private landholdings.
