Waterfront Living Without Compromise

Located in New Bern, 4100 N Rivershore Drive is a rare opportunity to own a private waterfront estate where space, privacy, and riverfront living come together. Set on more than four acres along the Neuse River, this remarkable property offers direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, a private dock with a boat lift, and breathtaking water views from nearly every room.

Whether you're searching for a peaceful retreat, a home designed for entertaining, or a property that offers flexibility for family and guests, this estate delivers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find along the North Carolina coast.

Designed Around the Water

From the moment you step inside, the river becomes the centerpiece of the home. Vaulted ceilings and an open-concept layout draw your eyes toward expansive water views, while warm wood flooring, a gas fireplace, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create an atmosphere that's both elegant and inviting.

The spacious great room opens directly onto a waterfront deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Whether you're hosting friends, enjoying family gatherings, or simply relaxing while watching boats pass by, every space was designed to embrace its spectacular setting.

Comfort Meets Functionality

The kitchen combines timeless finishes with everyday practicality, featuring warm wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and generous workspace for preparing everything from casual breakfasts to holiday meals.

The primary suite offers a private retreat complete with two walk-in closets, a dual vanity, a tiled walk-in shower, and its own screened porch overlooking the river—an ideal place to begin or end the day surrounded by peaceful waterfront views.

Additional living spaces include a cozy den with built-in shelving, a convenient laundry room, half bath, guest accommodations upstairs, and a flexible office with beautiful river views, making the home equally suited for work and relaxation.

A Guest Residence That Adds Flexibility

One of the property's most unique features is its fully self-contained accessory residence, offering approximately 1,047 square feet of additional living space.

Complete with its own full kitchen, dining area, guest bath, living room, and two guest bedrooms, the separate residence provides outstanding flexibility for extended family, visitors, or rental income. A current tenant is already in place with the option to extend the lease, offering buyers an additional opportunity for income while maintaining privacy between the two homes.

Whether used as a guest house, private retreat, or investment opportunity, this additional residence adds tremendous value to an already exceptional property.

Life on the Neuse River

Life here revolves around the water.

The private dock and boat lift place the Neuse River and the Intracoastal Waterway just steps from your backyard, making spontaneous boating adventures part of everyday life. Spend afternoons fishing, cruising to waterfront restaurants, or exploring nearby coastal destinations before returning home to enjoy the hot tub or relax on the expansive deck overlooking the river.

With more than four private acres surrounding the home, you'll enjoy a level of privacy that's increasingly rare while still remaining just minutes from historic downtown New Bern.

Although the property feels like a private waterfront retreat, it's conveniently located near everything that makes New Bern such a special place to live.

Historic downtown offers waterfront dining, locally owned boutiques, art galleries, museums, and year-round events that celebrate one of North Carolina's oldest and most charming river towns. Whether arriving by car or by boat, you'll appreciate how easily this remarkable property connects peaceful waterfront living with the conveniences of everyday life.
