318 Old Pollocksville Road, New Bern NC

No city taxes. No HOA fees. A home built in 2026, with everything new and ready to be occupied.


There’s plenty to appreciate about 318 Pollocksville Road before you even step onto the front porch. But what makes this property worth talking about is how those advantages come together. Here, just outside River Bend, you have a full acre without land restrictions, a substantial detached garage, and a home that puts you minutes from the center of New Bern. A marina, golf course, and nearby restaurants add to the appeal of the location. For someone who wants room for projects, outdoor living, or simply a little breathing space, it’s an opportunity to have those things while staying connected to town.

Close to the Places You’ll Actually Go

Location matters in the everyday moments: heading out for dinner, meeting friends downtown, or deciding to spend a Saturday on the water.


From this property, New Bern’s shops, restaurants, waterfront, and community events are only a short drive away. Nearby River Bend offers access to golf and a marina, giving you more ways to enjoy living in this part of Eastern North Carolina. That proximity makes the acre at home especially appealing. You can enjoy the convenience of being close to things while still having space to spread out when you return.

A Fresh Start, Already Built

There’s something reassuring about walking into a home where everything is new. You can think about where the furniture will go, what you’ll plant outside, and how you’ll use the extra space.


Built in 2026, this three-bedroom, two-bath home offers approximately 1,680 square feet. The roof and HVAC system are new, and the home also includes a natural gas tankless water heater and an encapsulated crawl space. A large covered front porch provides the first place to settle in. There’s room to pull up a chair, have your morning coffee, and take a few minutes before the day gets moving. Inside, the living room, dining area, and kitchen share an open layout that keeps everyday life connected. Someone can be making dinner while others gather around the island or relax in the living room, with enough space for the conversation to carry between them.

The Details That Make Daily Life Easier

The kitchen has a generous island with seating, an oversized sink, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of countertop space. Cabinetry and a pantry provide storage for groceries, cookware, and the small appliances that otherwise tend to take over the counters.


Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home, giving the rooms a consistent feel and making everyday cleanup straightforward.

A separate mudroom adds another useful layer. With a side entrance, washer and dryer, sink, and storage, it gives laundry and the things coming in from outside a place of their own. The primary bedroom includes a spacious walk-in closet and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and dual-sink vanity. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom leave room for family, overnight guests, or a home office.

An Acre With Possibilities

The 1.01-acre lot is a meaningful part of what makes this property different.


Without an HOA or land restrictions, there’s more flexibility to make the space work for your interests. Maybe that means a garden, outdoor gathering space, or room to pursue a project you’ve been putting off. Maybe you simply want a yard with enough distance to enjoy it.


The detached 40-by-30-foot garage expands those possibilities. Two eight-foot bay doors open into approximately 1,200 square feet of space for vehicles, equipment, storage, or a future workshop. The garage currently has no power, though conduit is already in place as a starting point for a future electrical connection. For buyers thinking about how they would use the building, that’s a useful detail to know from the beginning.

Room to Make It Your Own

Some homes stand out because of the house itself. Others draw attention because of the land or location. At 318 Pollocksville Road, the appeal is in having all three working together.


You have a newly built home ready for occupancy, an acre with flexibility, and a garage large enough to support more than everyday storage. You’re close to downtown New Bern, with golf, dining, and marina access nearby. And you have no city taxes or HOA fees.

For buyers looking for a fresh start with space to grow into, this property deserves a visit.
