One of the last untouched stretches of North Carolina's Crystal Coast, now thoughtfully released.
Originally part of the Roosevelt family's private legacy, this land in Pine Knoll Shores was conveyed in 1949 to the Diocese of East Carolina as a sanctuary for gathering, retreat, and reflection. While the coastline around it was developed, this tract was held apart as protected maritime forest.
Roosevelt Reserve is the final release of that preserved landscape: eight luxury oceanfront and ocean-view homesites in a private, gated setting with deeded beach access. In a region where most oceanfront real estate was subdivided long ago, it is an opportunity that is increasingly rare on the East Coast.
Luxury coastal living, with the Carolina coast left intact.
Roosevelt Reserve pairs the privacy of a gated oceanfront community with the natural character of an ancient maritime forest.

Four oceanfront and four ocean-view homesites surround a central maritime forest park, joined by a custom paver loop parkway and a deeded walkover to the beach. Seven homesites are currently available.

Each homesite is ready for a custom luxury beach home. Architectural review keeps every residence in harmony with the forest and with one another, and construction-to-permanent lot financing is available through Blueharbor Bank.

Where is Roosevelt Reserve located?
Roosevelt Reserve is in Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina, on Bogue Banks along the Crystal Coast. It sits between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle, about 2 hours 51 minutes from Raleigh and 20 minutes from the Beaufort private jetport.
How many homesites are for sale?
Roosevelt Reserve has eight homesites in total: four oceanfront lots and four ocean-view lots. Seven are currently available and one is under contract.
Is Roosevelt Reserve a gated community with beach access?
Yes. Roosevelt Reserve is a private gated community with a deeded community beach walkover that gives homeowners direct access to the Atlantic shoreline of Pine Knoll Shores.
Can I build a custom luxury beach home?
Yes. Buyers purchase a homesite and build a custom coastal home, subject to the community's architectural review, which keeps every residence consistent and in harmony with the maritime forest.
Is financing available for the lot and construction?
Yes. Construction-to-permanent lot building financing is available through Blueharbor Bank.
Why is Roosevelt Reserve a rare coastal real estate opportunity?
Most oceanfront land on the East Coast was subdivided decades ago. Roosevelt Reserve is historic Roosevelt family land that was protected as maritime forest from 1949 until this final release of eight homesites, which makes new oceanfront homesites like these exceptionally rare in coastal North Carolina.
