Bay River is among the best waterways in coastal North Carolina. It extends approx 15 miles from Pamlico Sound to the west to Bayboro. Due to its main channel running east and west, with many, long side creeks, it affords more protectioin from winds than the larger and more open Sound and Neuse River, therby giving more enjoyable boating days. Bay River offers excellent fishing, shrimping, crabbing, hunting (great duck hunting) and all manner of boating activities. Further upriver individuals have built and sailed boats up to almost 80' on Bay River. It is more tranquil than Pamlico Sound and Neuse River and, with the great waterview to the west offers a great homesetting on the water. Bay River connects directly to Pamlico Sound, Neuse River and the ICW with no bridges. The mouth of Bay River is approx 6 miles to the East, and from there it is 8 miles SW to Oriental (Sailing Capitol of NC); 12 miles from Beaufort and the beaches, and 31 miles across the Sound to Ocracoke, a boating and cruising paradise. The lot has a septic system approved near the homesite, and, in addition a remote septic site (lot 2A). This owner's purchase was the first sale in the 92ac tract of Woods at Bell Point.
