River Haven
Life on the Water — A Private Waterfront Peninsula Estate
River Haven was designed for enjoying the outdoors and making the most of coastal living.
Launch your boat from your private dock, spend the afternoon fishing or cruising the waterways, then return home for sunset dinners overlooking the river. From the property, it is easy to enjoy boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, wildlife watching, and waterfront entertaining without leaving home.
- Approximately 2,300+ feet of navigable waterfront along the Newport River and Hull Swamp
- Water depths range from 9 feet at the dock to 15–20 feet in the Newport River channel, according to local depth finder readings
- The width of the river along the property varies from 70′ to 150′.
- The Newport River is a tidal river supporting both saltwater and freshwater fishing
Access to the Intracoastal Waterway within minutes by boat • Approximately 20–30 minutes by powerboat to the Atlantic Ocean through Beaufort Inlet • Waterfront restaurants and marinas in Beaufort and Morehead City are easy to reach by water • Excellent access to inshore and offshore fishing, boating, and water sports
The property consists of 11.25 waterfront acres at the end of a quiet peninsula. More than 22,000 acres of protected marshland stretch uninterrupted, ensuring that the views and the stillness will remain unchanged. The marshland is in a land trust and can never be built upon.
Convenience with Privacy
Few know this one-of-a-kind property exists and all who visit are messmerised by the setting. Enjoy daily wildlife sightings and visits including bald eagles, osprey, herons, deer, otters, wild turkey, and seasonal waterfowl.

Main House
Large windows and expansive decks invite river views, natural light, and coastal breezes into the home’s open concept design.
Warm wood finishes, reclaimed heart pine floors, woodburning fireplaces, and generous living areas create a comfortable retreat atmosphere equally suited for everyday living or hosting family and friends after a day on the water.
Bamboo Cottage
Set apart from the main house, a private guest cottage rests quietly along the water’s edge—a rare and highly desirable feature.
With its own full bath and river frontage, river pier and boat tie-up area, it offers a sense of retreat for guests or the potential for a truly special short-term rental experience, something seldom found on waterfront properties of this caliber.
