Hayden Outdoors Real Estate is extremely happy to present Cypress Point, a legacy property unlike any other in eastern North Carolina! This offering boasts over a mile of bulkhead waterfront along the Perquimans river, tons of tillable acreage and timber ground, not to mention the 4080 square foot farmhouse that sits along the river's edge. This highly coveted property can become your very own private getaway or a developer's dream!This beautiful property is located along the Perquimans river and is totally private due to the boundary being at the very end of Bundys Road near the town of Hertford, North Carolina. Behind the private gate awaits your very own legacy property or a future developer's dream with over a mile of waterfront acreage! The waterfront boundary has a heavy duty bulkhead boundary to protect both the land and the river from erosion issues. You also have over 250 acres of fertile tillable ground that is currently being farmed by a local farmer that rotates crops each year, mainly switching back and forth between soybeans and corn. The 275+/- acres of timber ground is a mixture of planted pines of various ages and a lot of different hardwood trees. These hardwoods existt mostly along the eastern side of the property from the northeastern boundary all the way south along Sutton Creek. As you enter the gate off Bundys Road, you drive down the private gravel driveway that runs along the Perquimans river. For well over a mile, this waterfront boundary has been completely covered with bulkhead. This vertical wall composed of steel, wood and concrete has helped to provide extreme protection against the erosion caused by the constant colliding of water along the river's edge. It not only helps to protect the erosion but also provides a huge value to the entire property. This project began in 2013 and was officially completed in 2022 and it has been maintained to the fullest extent by the owners. Driving further down the gravel road brings you to the farm house located on the southeastern corner of the property. It sits along the Perquimans river and boasts a 4080 square foot floor plan!

Plenty of rocking chairs fill up the front porch for those lazy Sunday afternoons surrounded by family and friends. Closer to the western end of the property sits the barn.

Bordering the Perquimans river along the southern boundary and with Sutton Creek running along the eastern property line, access to water is a given! There is a boat dock out in front of the home that will allow you to dock multiple boats, jet skis or other water craft.

For more information, you may contact the Perquimans county tax office and the North Carolina Forest Service for more details. The tillable acreage produces some great yearly yields!
