Property Description
Hidden at the end of a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, River Haven is a one-of-a-kind coastal retreat on ~11 private acres in a gated community. Approx 2,300ft of shoreline follows the Newport River and Hull Swamp, with protected marshland and wildlife beyond. It is the community's only direct riverfront estate, yet has no HOA rules or fees. With ~4,000SF combined, this home was designed for the setting. Large windows bring river views into the open living area, and doors lead to expansive decks and seating areas. Inside are reclaimed heart-pine floors, exposed beams, and a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter. Recent updates include new and expanded decks, a whole-house generator, a renovated guest cottage. This home also features a gourmet kitchen, previously updated flooring, electrical and plumbing. The kitchen has a large island, two pantries, and a breakfast nook. A den with wet bar and built-ins adds flexibility, while the screened porch overlooks the river and marsh. The primary suite has a sitting area, walk-in closet, and bath with dual vanity, jetted tub, and double-sized tile shower. Two additional bedrooms, one with a second wood-burning fireplace and walk-in closet, a brick-floored river-facing room, hall bath, and large laundry room complete the ground floor. Set apart at the river's edge, the renovated Bamboo Cottage includes living and sleeping space, a full bath, covered porch, and private dock. Paver-stone paths wind near the cottage. 3 acres are maintained as park-like grounds; the balance remains natural, adding privacy without extensive upkeep. Live oaks and mature trees grace the property. Features include a 12-foot fire pit, waterfront seating areas, and a stocked pond with fountain. The tidal river offers fishing and boating from either dock. The only traffic at River Haven is boat traffic. Just outside Morehead City limits, River Haven is minutes from dining, groceries, healthcare, marinas, and the Crystal Coast beaches.
