“Shaped only by the passage of time, the coastal wind, and the Atlantic tide.”
For generations, this exclusive stretch of Pine Knoll Shores remained untouched by the open market. Originally part of the Roosevelt family's private legacy, the land was conveyed in 1949 to the Diocese of East Carolina. Its purpose was sacred: to serve as a sanctuary for gathering, retreat, and reflection.
While the North Carolina coastline gradually evolved, this tract, now known as Roosevelt Reserve, was held apart. Protected as a lush maritime forest, the landscape has been shaped only by the passage of time, the coastal wind, and the Atlantic tide.
After decades of careful stewardship, this historic land is entering its next chapter. Roosevelt Reserve represents the final release of this preserved landscape: a limited, premier collection of eight luxury homesites nestled within one of the last untouched maritime environments on the Crystal Coast.
In a region where most oceanfront real estate has long since been subdivided, Roosevelt Reserve stands alone. This is not a redevelopment; it is a rare continuation of a carefully preserved heritage. Each homesite offers the opportunity to create an enduring legacy: a coastal home designed for today and for generations to come.
