Overview

This is a single-family residential lot on navigable creekfront along the Newport River, offering a buildable area shown on a recorded survey. The property is wooded and has approximately 3.26 acres, with a prior permit that was issued in 2007 for a 3-bedroom, 3-bath home but is currently expired. Septic and well will require a new permit. The property also indicates that a private dock is possible, with tidal water depth.

The lot is located off Hwy 70, behind Garner Farms, which includes a fresh plants and vegetable farm. The listing notes utility easements are already in place and that hook-up access should be straightforward as the community is established. No HOA is stated, though Riverwoods includes covenants that are described as not enforced.

This site can fit buyers looking to build a custom single-family residence with water access on Newport River and a clear path to re-permitting for septic and well. Because the prior permit is expired, prospective buyers should plan for the permitting process to confirm final site design, including any dock considerations, and to align construction with the recorded survey’s buildable area. Appointments are required to view the property.
