Enchanted Oaks House And Farm

A Long-Standing Historic Retreat in New Bern A long gravel driveway, lined with trees planted in the 1800s, leads you to this 33-acre historic property — quiet, secluded, and unhurried. The Farmhouse: The 1870s farmhouse is fully restored with modern comforts and features three bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite master, an updated kitchen, and a long screened-in porch overlooking the back fields — perfect for families, small groups, or intimate weddings. RV Sites: Dry camping on open pastureland surrounded by old-growth pecan, cedar, and oak trees. No hookups — bring your self-contained rig and settle in. Tent Camping: Pitch your tent under the oaks and fall asleep to the quiet. Primitive sites are ideal for those looking to unplug completely. The Land: A pond at the entrance, farm fields in the back, and deer wandering through at dusk. The property sits on land settled in the late 1700s — you can feel the history in the trees. Five miles from historic downtown New Bern, yet a world away.
