Why this home stands out

Square footage this generous — nearly 6,900 feet across five bedrooms and four and a half baths — is rare in New Bern's residential landscape. Sitting on over an acre, the property gives you meaningful separation from neighbors while keeping you close to the historic downtown and the everyday conveniences of a mid-sized coastal city. The 2004 build year means solid construction without the maintenance surprises of an older home.

ALL OTHERS AREA 290 and the New Bern real estate market

New Bern, North Carolina carries a quiet confidence that comes from being one of the oldest cities in the state. Settled at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers, the city blends genuine colonial history with a walkable, arts-forward downtown that locals genuinely use — not just one that exists for tourism. The broader area around 240 Drake Landing falls within New Bern's Area 290 corridor, a stretch of Craven County where larger lots and newer construction coexist with mature tree canopy and a sense of breathing room you simply can't find closer to the city center. Residents here tend to value space and privacy without wanting to feel remote, and this neighborhood delivers exactly that balance. New Bern homes for sale in this square-footage range are uncommon, which makes a property like this stand out. The city itself offers a historic waterfront district, a growing culinary scene, and a community calendar that keeps things lively year-round — all within a reasonable drive from the lot.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are manageable from Drake Landing. The Trent Road and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard corridors carry most of the retail and grocery options serving this part of Craven County. CarolinaEast Medical Center is the region's primary hospital and sits within the New Bern metro area. Downtown New Bern's Union Point Park — where the Neuse and Trent rivers meet — is a short drive and a genuine local gathering spot. Tryon Palace, the reconstructed colonial-era governor's mansion, is a landmark worth knowing if you have guests in town. For outdoor recreation, Croatan National Forest edges the region and offers hiking, paddling, and wildlife access on a scale that surprises most newcomers.

For different buyers

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms and nearly 6,900 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and then some.

The 1.09-acre lot adds outdoor space that makes a real difference for families who want room to spread out beyond four walls.

For buyers drawn to character

There's a particular kind of buyer who looks at 6,900 square feet on a private acre and sees possibility rather than excess. If you've been searching for a home with the scale to accommodate a home studio, a serious library, a workshop, or multi-generational living under one roof, 240 Drake Landing offers that canvas. The 2004 construction gives you a solid structural foundation without locking you into someone else's dated design choices.
