Neuse River get-away to peaceful calm and paradise

My home is somewhat remote, located on a private unpaved road, AND directly on the water. It is extremely quiet and private. Has 2 zip lines, two rope swings, a boat ramp and 2 docks. You can hunt, fish, boat, jet ski or just enjoy the water and peaceful view. This is not a hotel room. Please care for it as you would your own home. The use of the porches, rope swings and zip line is at your own risk. The back deck does not have a railing for unobstructed views of the river. Great wifi too.

The side balcony that faces the fishing pier and kayak launch is a great spot to enjoy morning coffee. Perched on the third floor the climb is worth the view! Situated just 20 minutes from both the airport and downtown New Bern, this sailboat and golf community is a true gem. Offering a perfect blend of convenience and tranquility.

The River-house on Raccoon Creek

Forget your worries in this spacious, secluded & serene spot. With two boat ramps within a couple of miles, boating, fishing and hunting are just up the river. Plenty of dock space on the property to tie up in the evening. A good book on the deck in the sun & finishing off your day with s’mores by the fire pit make a great weekend! Minutes away from world class speckled trout & drum fishing. Keep your boat at your back door ready to go.
