422 acres of wild, mostly unspoiled ground, will begin the process of becoming a unique neighborhood, as it is my ambition to create a pantheon of possibilities for this mixed-use project, where the prospective community of Calf Creek Preserve of which it naturally evolve, and all that would entail.
This effort in exposition begins the noble experiment of many years of planning this land, deep within the Chocowinity Bay /Pamlico River watershed, and how to capture its essence, its true value as an eclectic mixed use community, and provide a substantive setting for natural living.
This natural assemblage of Tracts A, B & C is one of a purely mixed use in plan and purpose being brought into fruition because of quite a few factors, but most notably situs, or commonly considered as
"location, location, location." To that end, Beaufort County, here in northeastern North Carolina, is in dire need of efficient, unique, and effective housing of a high value relative to all regional markets. Calf Creek Preserve is planned to become just that, but even then, there is a missing ingredient - where to shop, congregate and create a real people's marketplace?
To create the properties of community, where neighbors and outlying areas might be better served in continuing an abundant life, proximity to place and people is paramount.

Calf Creek Preserve is less than 1 7/8 hours driving time (about 104 miles) away from the Raleigh, and less than 29 minutes driving time (about 21 miles) east of Greenville, NC's center: Above.

In this rarified area, where the panoramic Pamlico Estuary meets a rural-park-like setting of solitude in the natural environment of abundant wildlife, unequalled in the southeastern United States, while only minutes from population centers, like Greenville, NC, there will always be a need for the uniquely created space for the public to congregate. In real estate reality, there is no better location to do such other than the utility of commercial corners, where at least one of those two hard surfaced state roads meet is well traveled, like Old Blounts Creek Road - the river road of the south side of Chocowinity Bay, the Pamlico River; all the way to Blounts Bay and Blounts Creek, where the highest in elevation waterfront exists in all of Beaufort County.
The Commercial Corner possibilities in the Calf Creek Preserve begins with the southwest corner of Old Blounts Creek Road and Hill Road (about 21 miles) east from the the center of Greenville, NC, known as Tract A; Tract B, the southwest corner of Old Blounts Creek Road and Hill Road, in Summer of 2024, with the Chocowinity Bay (west) and the Pamlico River (east) along the horizon: Above. Looking southwest, away from the Pamlico estuary, the Commercial Corners for this mixed used project is well represented fully in this image of Tract A (west corner) and Tract B (east corner) Locational Map created by SNI Productions.

These three mixed use commercial tracts, providing the two commercial corners on Hill Road and Old Blounts Creek Road, which total estimated road frontage totals of: 976 feet on Old Blounts Creek Road (Tract A), 1,138 feet on Hill Road (Tract A); 1,429 feet on Hill Road (Tract B), 1,060 feet (Tract B) on Old Blounts Creek Road; 407 feet (Tract C) on Old Blounts Creek Road, for a total of: 2,443 feet on Old Blounts Creek Road; 2,567 feet on Hill Road; for a total of 5,010 feet of frontage on state roads - Old Blounts Creek Road and Hill Road.
Additionally, Tract B (1,892 feet of southern boundary frontage) and Tract C (933 feet of southern boundary frontage) have a combined Norfolk Southern railway frontage of 2825 feet running along the southern boundary of both tracts. Tract G enjoys 1,269 feet of Norfolk Southern railway frontage along its northern boundary. Even though the Nutrien Mines and Products Train passes infrequently, the railway access could be a great benefit in this mixed use application of this property's mixed usage.
These strategic spaces as mixed use opportunities; these expansive tracts as Commercial Corners, where multiple opportunities abound, one may create a plethora of potential purposes, where public markets may be constructed in optimum spaces of public congregation. Any or all market opportunities in the Tracts of B and C will support fully a simultaneous mixed usage of residential, most of which will enjoy Waterfront Access, and the
usage of common spaces in Tract S, for residential owners in this mixed use project of Tracts A, B, C and part of G (wildlife preserve and woodland of an estimated 10.620 acres). All tracts sold in this one block are an estimated 80.929 acres, which includes a guaranteed 161 bedrooms of septic utility of usage, on or off-site as needed, which adds, by non exclusive easement, the promise of many additional acres to achieve this mixed use development for humankind.
Looking south at the waterfront access lot for Calf Creek Preserve, with the entire 422 acres, mostly bontatically populated by mostly towering oaks, and other dry natured hardwoods, which is the locational backbone of what could be Beaufort County's most unique community that is developable, where all surrounding timberland is not, rendering Calf Creek Preserve a veritable park: Above.

Co-brokerage for these Commercial Corners and mixed tract shown above is 4.0% of the sales price on the sale of all lots, or combination of lots, and, or 3.6% of the sales price of all tracts or combination of tracts to the brokerage representing the sales side of the conveyance.
