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.

A well-balanced ±13-acre tract (Lot 2) at the end of a gravel dead-end road between Harlowe Creek and Core Creek — the kind of small acreage that's getting harder to find in Carteret County. Approximately 5.5 acres are open and tillable, with the remaining acreage in timber. That combination gives a buyer a ready-made building site or garden spot on the front end and mature cover behind it — plenty of room to plant a food plot, run a few head of livestock, or simply enjoy the quiet. The tract has approximately 280 linear feet of frontage on Hardesty Farm Road, a gravel dead-end, so traffic is limited to the folks who live on it. Power is already at the road, making this an easy tract to build on without the added expense of running service a long distance. For a buyer who wants privacy without being remote, this is a hard setup to beat. The surrounding area supports whitetail deer, Eastern wild turkey, and black bear, and the coastal amenities of Beaufort, Morehead City, and Havelock are a comfortable drive away, with the Croatan National Forest and area waterways offering additional public hunting, fishing, and boating opportunities. This tract is being divided out of a larger ±30-acre parcel. Buyer is responsible for the survey cost of the tract purchased and for any perc testing required for septic approval. Small tracts with open ground, timber, road frontage, and power at the road don't last long in this market.
