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. Grace Harbor, a world-class Marina, offers an award-winning protected inland basin with floating slips from 35' to 75' and T-head slips available for purchase or rent.
