Hardesty Farm Rd, Newport, NC 28570

Property Description

Privacy, productive ground, and a creek -- all at the end of a quiet gravel road in the Harlowe Creek and Core Creek area of Carteret County. This ±17-acre tract (Lot 2) offers approximately 5.5 acres of open tillable ground with the balance in timber, giving a new owner an immediate mix of income, food plot potential, and cover. A creek runs through the western side of the property, creating a natural travel corridor for deer and turkey and adding a feature that's hard to replicate on a tract this size. Access is off Hardesty Farm Road, a gravel dead-end road, with approximately 280 linear feet of road frontage. There's no through traffic here, which means the neighborhood stays quiet and the wildlife stays put. Power is already available at the road, a significant head start for anyone planning to build. The open ground offers some excellent building sites for a permanent home, weekend cabin, or barndominium, with the timbered acreage serving as a buffer from any future neighbors, with approval from the county health department. Eastern Carteret County holds a strong population of whitetail deer, Eastern wild turkey, and black bear, and this part of the county offers the added benefit of being within an easy drive of the coast. Beaufort, Morehead City, Havelock, and the boat ramps and waterways of the Newport River and Intracoastal Waterway are all close by. The tract is being sold out of a larger ±30-acre parcel. Buyer is responsible for the cost of the survey for the tract purchased and for any perc testing required for septic approval. Whether you're looking for a homesite with elbow room, a small farm, or a recreational tract you can hunt and hold, Lot 1 checks a lot of boxes.
