Development Overview:
River Dunes, a new master-planned waterfront community located near Oriental, NC, offers residents and guests the perfect launching point for unparalleled adventures on the water. Defined by its unique coastal location, the community has 14 miles of natural shoreline on Pamlico Sound stretching 24 nautical miles across to the celebrated beaches of the Outer Banks and Gulf Stream waters beyond; on the Intracoastal Waterway offering unlimited destinations for cruising; and the fabled Neuse River, known for generations as a premier location for world-class sailing, power boating and fishing.
Grace Harbor, a world-class 28 acre 400 slip inland basin marina with state-of-the-art floating dock system serves at the centerpiece of the Harbor Village that includes River Dunes Harbor Club with fine and casual dining, chandlery, swimming pool, spas, cabanas and seven fireplaces. To accommodate guest boaters, The Landing offers luxury shower and laundry facilities and high speed fueling. Onshore accommodations are available in one of the one, two or three bedroom harbor side guest cottages that feature fireplaces, morning kitchens, luxury spa baths, and surround-sound home theater systems.
The Harbor Club is the centerpiece of River Dunes Harbor Village that will include an Inn with dining room and guest suites, Fitness Center, retail shops, Post Office, The Filling Station for small grocery items, and bicycle and boat rentals. An outdoor amphitheatre on the Harbor will be a gathering place for community events and performing arts. Overlooking the Harbor, a Spa/Wellness Center will offer programs to nourish the mind, body and spirit of guests and residents. For the outdoor enthusiast, The Canoe Club and Adventure Lodge will feature a soft launch site for kayaks and canoes and will host activities from fly-fishing to bird watching or watercolor painting. Miles and miles of paddling and hiking trails offer opportunities to observe the rich flora and fauna of River Dunes in an undisturbed habitat-a 238 acre dedicated Conservation Preserve.
A priority for development in the community has been the blending of an award-winning land plan that preserves and protects the beauty and natural resources of a coastal setting, while allowing the creation of homes and well-planned amenities that will enhance the lives of its residents and their families for generations to come.
Drawing from the vitality of Grace Harbor and the Harbor Club, a residential neighborhood is underway around the marina with new homes that offer residents the opportunity to enjoy the convenience of boating right outside the back door. The Harbor Village homes include the "lock and leave" luxury of the two story homes of The Row, the cozy cottages of Boat House Row, the unique bungalows of Chapel Square, and the stately magnificence of the double-porched homes that line the Channel. Home sites for custom home construction are also available in the Harbor Village neighborhoods. For those who want a more secluded spot, the Broadwaters neighborhoods feature estate-size wooded, waterfront home sites. Many offer broad vistas of the waterways that lead into River Dunes Harbor; others feature serene views of quiet coves. These private neighborhoods provide owners with opportunities for uniquely designed custom homes and family compounds. At the confluence of the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound with endless views, the Dunes neighborhood will feature the Dunes Club with dining, private screening room, swimming pool, guest cottages and tennis facility. Residents of this neighborhood will enjoy spectacular Sound views, and still be within a quick bike or cart ride to the Harbor.
A great deal of thought has gone into the architecture of the homes and amenities in the community, drawing from the rich heritage of boating and the historic maritime village. Materials and color pallets are classic and authentic to traditional coastal building style.
