Extraordinary & Rare. This opportunity is not expected to last long! Welcome to 449 Gatewood Drive, a quintessential custom-built home awaiting its next chapter. Tucked away on nearly 5 private acres in River Bend, this one-of-a-kind property offers a mountain-lodge ambiance with high elevations, serene wooded surroundings, and exceptional privacy rarely found in the area. Built in 1981, the home is being sold as-is, yet it overflows with timeless character and artisanal craftsmanship. From the locally milled juniper wood siding to the rich tongue-and-groove cypress interiors, every detail was thoughtfully chosen. Heart pine beams, salvaged from the historic New Bern Central School, anchor the main living space creating a striking architectural focal point and a lasting connection to local heritage.Additional features include a geothermal water-source HVAC system with permanent concrete ductwork, a spacious screened porch, in-ground swimming pool, double-car garage, and a large detached workshop--perfect for hobbyists or extra storage. This is a true diamond in the rough--rich with character and ready for renewal! The setting, structure, and soul of the home make it an unmatched opportunity for restoration or transformation. Don't miss your chance to reimagine this extraordinary property. Call today to schedule your private tour or request a virtual showing.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
