Creek views shape everyday life at 69 Leeward Lane, where mature trees frame a waterfront setting on Brown's Creek, off Broad Creek. A window-lined sunroom with a large arched window brings the shoreline into view and opens directly to the deck. The eat-in kitchen and primary bedroom share that connection to the water, while connected living and dining spaces, high ceilings, and a fireplace provide room to gather indoors. Outside, a wooded walkway leads to the dock, extending daily life from breakfast beside the windows to afternoons along the creek. The 1.01-acre setting includes a separate outdoor seating area, while a split-bedroom layout, main-level primary suite, and spacious finished room above the attached two-car garage offer flexibility for guests, work, and personal interests. Together, these spaces make the creek part of the home's daily rhythm. This is a Stuart Hardy custom built home.

71 Jayne Point in River Dunes is a beautiful waterfront homesite offering expansive water views and a picturesque setting in one of the Oriental area's premier waterfront communities. This 1.31-acre lot sits on the peninsula with sweeping views of the widest part of Broad Creek. The setting is peaceful and private, with mature trees along the shoreline and a small private beach area. The protected waters of Broad Creek give you the expansive waterfront feel while offering shelter from the open waters of the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound. And a lot of the work has already been done. In 2006, approximately 501 loads of engineered, tested, and compacted soil were brought in, creating a substantial and ready-to-build foundation for your future home. The buildable area ranges from approximately 7.3 to 8.2 feet above sea level, with an average elevation of approximately 7.9 feet. There is plenty of room for a large custom home, with a potential footprint of approximately 85' x 84', plus the possibility of a carriage house with a three-car garage (See AI renderings in photos of what a house will look like on the lot). With the homesite already cleared and the fill work completed, you can spend your time thinking about the fun part: what you want to build and how you want to enjoy the view. This is the kind of property where you can sit outside with your morning coffee, watch the boats and dolphins pass through Broad Creek, and end the day with a beautiful sunset over the water. River Dunes offers a wonderful coastal lifestyle with tennis and pickleball courts, a community garden, and a storage lot. Membership at River Dunes Harbor Club is available for an additional fee and includes access to the clubhouse, restaurant, pool, and fitness center.

Dream waterfront homesite minutes from Oriental Village with your own boat slip! Waterfront lots this close to the village rarely come available at any price. This is nearly half an acre (.046) of level, wooded land with roughly 110 feet of creek frontage in the established Orient Point Community. Boat slip #11 in the community marina conveys with the lot. A 3 bedroom septic permit has been issued for the property and is valid for 5 years until 2031. Build the house you've been dreaming of for years: morning coffee looking over the water, your boat waiting a short stroll from the porch. The village of Oriental is the Sailing and Boating Capital of North Carolina, with its harbor, shops, brew pub, cafes, and restaurants. The village is a short walk, bike or golf cart ride from your door. County water tap and electric service are available at the road. For builders and investors, the opportunity is just as clear: buildable waterfront near the village is scarce and getting scarcer. There just won't be any new land near Oriental! Lots that come with a slip almost never surface. At $103,000 this is among the lowest-riced ways to own Oriental waterfront. You can hold it, build on it, or pair it. The adjacent 2-bedroom/2-bath waterfront home at 710 Orient Lane (Lot 12) is separately available, making nearly a full acre of creek frontage with two slips. Level, quiet, at the end of a private lane. Walk the lot, stand at the water's edge, and you'll see it. Application for new septic permit has been submitted.
