Nestled in our most exclusive neighborhood, 175 River Watch Road is one of the largest and most private riverfront estates in The Preserve, overlooking Gum Thicket to the Neuse River, towards the Pamlico Sound and Intracoastal Waterway. If you've been waiting for a breath-taking view, there's simply nothing else like this.
River Dunes is a place for back-porch afternoons with neighbors, the peace of an early morning run through The Preserve and fellowship on the docks in the afternoon. Enjoy active amenities, quiet creeks, walkable neighborhoods, and outdoor living. Savor the luxurious accommodations and delicious coastal cuisine. Every detail was considered to capture the best of life on the coast in a stunning natural setting.
The award-winning, 28-acre inland basin marina on the Intracoastal Waterway offers year-round boating with 126 slips, floating docks, dock attendants, a boat ramp, boat storage, fuel, and deep-water access for sailing, cruising, or trophy salt-water fishing, just down the river from Oriental, NC. The protected entrance channel opens into Broad Creek, a natural deep-water creek just off the ICW and Neuse River.
At the heart of the community, the Harbor Village features The Harbor Club, a pool and hot tubs, two restaurants, a harborside pavilion, shopping, provisions, fitness, pickleball and tennis courts, a community garden, accommodations, bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, and the Design Center.
Get outdoors and enjoy the Lakehouse, community firepits, oyster tables, stocked fly-fishing ponds, neighborhood docks, paddling trails, and a 238-acre Preserve with trails for walking, running, and exploring. Your next adventure is right around the corner at River Dunes.
