Bring your plans to the wide-open NC coast with this 5.5± acre tract at 301 New Rd in Scranton--a great blend of space, privacy, and practical utilities. The property offers county water and electric available at the road, plus ~116 feet of road frontage for an easy driveway approach and flexible homesite placement. A septic system will be needed, but with 5.5 acres you'll have plenty of room to position a homesite and septic area while still leaving space for a shop, garden, recreational use, or future expansion. Scranton (Hyde County) is known for its quiet, coastal-country lifestyle--where you can enjoy open skies, low traffic, and room to breathe while still being within reach of everyday conveniences in nearby towns. The area's economy is supported by a mix of agriculture/forestry, commercial fishing and coastal industries, construction, and public services--giving the region steady local roots while remaining a hidden gem for buyers who want land and lifestyle. For family fun and outdoor recreation, you're close to some of Eastern North Carolina's best natural assets. Lake Mattamuskeet and the surrounding refuge are a major draw for birding, wildlife viewing, fishing, photography, and scenic drives. You're also within reach of additional coastal refuges and waterways that make weekends feel like a getaway--kayaking, boating, and exploring the Inner Banks. Location-wise, you're positioned for easy day trips: Belhaven and Washington offer waterfront dining, marinas, and small-town charm, while Greenville expands your options with hospitals, universities, shopping, and broader employment. When it's time for sand and salt air, the NC coast and beach destinations are within a reasonable drive for weekend trips--so you can enjoy the shoreline without living in the middle of seasonal crowds. If you've been looking for usable acreage with utilities available, strong frontage, and the freedom to build the way you want, 301 New Rd deserves a closer look.
