Rare opportunity to own 14.11 acres of waterfront property near Aurora, NC featuring over 1,500 feet of Betty Creek frontage, recent clearing improvements, outstanding fishing and wildlife habitat, and excellent potential for a private riverfront retreat or future homesite in one of Eastern North Carolina's most scenic coastal regions. Escape to the waterfront with this beautiful 14.11-acre tract located east of Aurora in Beaufort County, NC. Featuring over 1,500 feet of frontage on Betty Creek, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a private slice of Eastern North Carolina's coastal landscape. Recent clearing and access improvements have been completed, providing easy access from the road all the way to the water's edge. Whether you're looking for a future homesite, weekend retreat, hunting property, or riverfront getaway, this tract offers the space and setting to bring your vision to life. An expired septic permit was previously obtained and will need to be reapplied for by the future owner. With much of the preliminary work already completed, the property is well-positioned for those looking to establish a private waterfront escape. Betty Creek connects to the Pamlico River system, offering excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Anglers can enjoy fishing for species including red drum, speckled trout, flounder, striped bass, catfish, and largemouth bass throughout the surrounding waters. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundant wildlife found throughout the area. Beaufort County is known for healthy populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, waterfowl, and numerous migratory bird species. The combination of nearby timberlands, marsh habitat, agricultural fields, and creek systems creates an ideal environment for both hunting and nature observation. Located near the small waterfront community of Aurora, the property offers a peaceful rural setting while remaining within reasonable driving distance of Washington, New Bern, and the Crystal Coast. Residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with access to boating, fishing, public boat ramps, local restaurants, and some of the most scenic waterways in North Carolina. Properties with this amount of waterfront frontage, privacy, and recreational potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
