Experience 710 Orient Lane
The creek, the porches, and the light
A custom, single-level home on half an acre of Smith Creek waterfront — in the Sailing Capital of North Carolina
The creek, the porches, and the light
Over the house, the creek, and Orient Point
Rarely offered together under $500K in Oriental
Half an acre on protected Smith Creek, with mature trees, open lawn, and the water right there at the end of the yard.
Slip #5 in the Orient Point community marina, just steps away — perfect for your skiff, center console, or daysailer. And the village's full-service deep-water marinas are minutes away.
Two true bedrooms and two full baths in 1,527 square feet that live large: vaulted ceilings, skylights, and walls of windows. No stairs, no wasted rooms, no deferred projects.
Dedicated workshop/utility building, walk-up attic storage, attached carport, and storage everywhere you want it — room for the boat projects and the hobbies.
Generator, washer/dryer, and kitchen appliances all convey. Move-in ready and professionally staged — nothing on the to-do list.
Oriental, NC: a village where the harbor is the town square — shops, restaurants, and a famously welcoming year-round sailing community, minutes away.
The adjacent 0.46-acre waterfront lot (712 Orient Lane, with its own marina slip) is separately available at $103,000 — nearly a full acre on the creek if you want it.
A rare opportunity under $500K to own both Oriental waterfront and a boat slip. 710 Orient Lane is a custom architect-designed single-level home offering 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms within 1,527 square feet on a half-acre, beautifully landscaped waterfront lot on protected Smith Creek, in the established Orient Point community.
The boating setup is classic Oriental: a slip in the community marina just steps away for your skiff, center console, or daysailer, and the village's full-service deep-water marinas minutes away. Oriental Village, the Neuse River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the anchorages of Pamlico Sound are your backyard, with the Outer Banks roughly 32 nautical miles across the sound.
This thoughtfully designed home is perfectly small-by-design and without compromise: everything on one level, a dedicated workshop for projects, attached carport, whole-house generator, and porches made for that morning cup of coffee and the evening light — a broad covered porch with room for rockers, and a screened porch for the summer evenings. Offered move-in ready and professionally staged, with refrigerator, range, washer, and dryer included.
For buyers who want nearly a full acre on the creek, and serene privacy, the adjacent 0.46-acre waterfront lot — with its own marina slip — is separately available. Flexible closing available.
Oriental is renowned as the Sailing Capital of North Carolina, a village where the harbor is the town square — vibrant sailing community, shops and restaurants, and world-class fishing year-round. Full-time residence, weekend refuge, or the retirement plan finally executed: 710 Orient Lane offers the water, the slip, and the town, together.
