Overview
Description
Hog Island encompasses approximately 950 acres of pristine coastal Carolina landscape along the Neuse River, offering a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and recreational opportunity. The property is defined by its varied terrain, with elevations rising up to 30 feet above sea level. The higher ground is dominated by large pine trees and scattered hardwoods, while the low-lying areas feature vast stands of cypress and gum, interspersed with marsh grasses that fringe the island's edges. This diverse environment creates a thriving habitat for deer, turkey, waterfowl, and countless other species, making the island an ideal setting for hunters, outdoorsmen, and wildlife enthusiasts.
The island's conservation easement allows for responsible use and development, with approximately 31 acres outside of the easement boundaries, providing flexibility for future improvements while maintaining the property's natural integrity. Established food plots, permanent deer stands, and duck blinds already enhance the recreational appeal, and there are numerous opportunities to expand with additional plots, stands, and hunting areas. Turkey Ridge, one of the most accessible portions of the property, features a permanent stand and is well suited for cultivation of larger food sources to attract wildlife.
Improvements include a thoughtfully placed residence situated to capture prevailing breezes and designed with a screened porch overlooking the Neuse River and private dock. The interior offers an open layout with rare white juniper finishes, multiple bedrooms, and modern amenities, while a 5 kW solar array, updated lithium batteries, inverter, and a permitted well provide reliable off-grid living. Additional structures include a large shed for equipment and tractor storage, supporting the property's recreational and practical uses.
