River Dunes Wins Another Prestigious Award

For those seeking the good life found in North Carolina coastal communities, there are few boating communities with as much to offer as the award winning community of River Dunes in Oriental North Carolina. The Pamlico Sound real estate development is located on the Inner Banks of North Carolina just north of New Bern. Residents here enjoy a fantastic life on the water, with a protected private marina and all the perks of coastal living.

The development team at River Dunes continues to expand and improve its boating community. Perhaps the most exciting enhancements is the nearly completed commercial building at River Dunes Harbor Village. Located across the street from the Harbor Club, this addition will feature more great things for residents and guests. Plans for the commercial property include:

• A retail store on the first floor, along with a cafe/deli that will serve lighter fare and baked goods
• A fitness and wellness facility with various exercise equipment
• Spa services, as well as steam and sauna rooms
• 3rd floor guest suites
• A small meeting space for corporate retreats, planning sessions and other gatherings

In March, River Dunes won another prestigious award  for the classic design of the Harbor Club. The 2016 Shutze Award was given for excellence in commercial design under 10,000 sq. feet, and is testament to the club's architectural style and detail. The two story Harbor Club overlooks the marina featuring over 100 boat slips, and a wide range of boating amenities. The clubhouse is one of the most beautiful we’ve seen.

Besides the new features of the village and the Harbor Club, there many reasons to name River Dunes among the best North Carolina coastal communities. Perhaps most attractive here is the community's authentic coastal architecture. Featuring timeless cottage styles, homes here are spacious, cozy, and sustainable by design. The Pamlico Sound real estate development features homes from 1,600 – 4,000+ sq. feet, and home sites range from 1/10 of an acre to 3+ acres. 

Additional amenities include:

• Two har-tru clay tennis courts with windscreens, automatic lighting, parking and bike racks.
• An extensive nature trail for exploring the local wildlife
• The Lakehouse, where residents enjoy horseshoes, fly-fishing, and a fire pit surrounded by rocking chairs and picnic tables.
• The Pony Pasture, where four banker ponies graze behind the Dunes and greet guests at the Caretaker’s Cottage.
• A private community chapel
• Guest cottages for weekend and holiday visitors

If you’re a boater and you haven’t been to River Dunes, navigate your way to one of the finest North Carolina coastal communities. Now with the longer sunny days, there’s no better time than now to experience boating community of River Dunes.
