Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 149 Drummonds Creek Lane apart is the scale and the setting together. Ten acres gives you genuine breathing room — space for a custom home, outbuildings, a garden, or simply a buffer of trees between you and the rest of the world. Edenton's waterfront character and colonial-era streetscapes sit just minutes away, so you get true land ownership without sacrificing the charm of a real town.

ALL OTHERS AREA 225 and the Edenton real estate market

Edenton, North Carolina carries more history per square mile than almost anywhere in the state. Founded in the early 1700s on the western shore of Chowan County, it served as one of colonial North Carolina's first capitals, and the evidence is still standing — in the courthouse on the green, in the antebellum homes lining Broad Street, and in the quiet confidence of a town that has never needed to reinvent itself. The area around Drummonds Creek sits in the broader rural fringe south and west of downtown, where large parcels and mature tree canopy define the landscape. Neighbors here tend to value privacy and space. The Chowan River and Albemarle Sound are close enough to shape daily life — boating, fishing, and waterfront dining are genuine options, not aspirational ones. Chowan County's low-density character means land like this is genuinely finite.

What's nearby

Downtown Edenton is roughly ten minutes away, putting the waterfront boardwalk, local restaurants, and the Edenton Cotton Mill district within easy reach. The Edenton Golf and Country Club is a short drive for those who want a social anchor. Grocery runs land at Food Lion on Virginia Road. For medical needs, Vidant Chowan Hospital serves the area. Elizabeth City — home to a broader retail corridor and Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City — is about 45 minutes northeast on US-17. The Outer Banks are reachable in under two hours, making weekend trips to the coast a realistic part of life here.

For different buyers

For families upgrading

If you have been comparing land opportunities in northeastern North Carolina and want to build exactly what your family needs — not adapt to what someone else built — ten acres on Drummonds Creek Lane is the kind of canvas that rarely comes available this close to a historic town center. Design the floor plan, set the orientation, plan the outbuildings. The lot gives you options most suburban parcels simply cannot.

For buyers drawn to character

Buyers drawn to authenticity tend to find Edenton irresistible — and land parcels of this size, this close to a genuinely historic downtown, are the kind of opportunity that surfaces once and then disappears. If your vision involves a custom home on acreage with real history as a backdrop, 149 Drummonds Creek Lane deserves a serious look. This is land with a sense of place already built in.

More buyer questions

How far is 149 Drummonds Creek Lane from the nearest military base?

Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk, Virginia is approximately 93 minutes by car via US-17 North. The distance makes this property better suited to civilian buyers or veterans who have completed their service, rather than active-duty households with a daily commute requirement.

What utilities are available at 149 Drummonds Creek Lane?

Buyers should conduct due diligence on utility availability, including water, sewer, and electrical service. Rural parcels in Chowan County often require a private well and septic system, and a site evaluation will clarify what is needed before construction begins.

Is 149 Drummonds Creek Lane in a flood zone?

Given the property's proximity to Drummonds Creek and the broader Albemarle Sound watershed, flood zone status is an important consideration. A current FEMA flood map review and an elevation certificate from a licensed surveyor will give you a clear picture before any building plans are finalized.

What can the land at 149 Drummonds Creek Lane be used for?

At ten acres in a low-density rural area, the parcel is well suited for a single-family home site, agricultural use, hobby farming, or a private estate. Chowan County zoning regulations govern permitted uses, so confirming your intended use with the county planning office is the right first step.

How far is 149 Drummonds Creek Lane from the Outer Banks?

The northern Outer Banks — including Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills — are roughly 90 to 100 minutes by car, making weekend trips to the coast a realistic and appealing part of life in Edenton.
