ABOUT ROOSEVELT RESERVE

Roosevelt Reserve:
A Rare Coastal Legacy, Now Thoughtfully Released
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 specific 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. This is a limited, premier collection of eight luxury homesites nestled within one of the last untouched maritime environments on the Crystal Coast.
At Roosevelt Reserve, the authentic character of the Outer Banks region remains intact. These homesites offer a rare harmony of privacy and natural beauty:
-
Ancient Maritime Forest: Build among mature live oaks and a native forest canopy.
-
Pristine Topography: Natural dune formations providing elevation and character.
-
Unrivaled Privacy: A quiet, gated atmosphere removed from through traffic.
-
Direct Atlantic Access: Private, immediate access to the pristine shoreline of Pine Knoll Shores.
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 at Roosevelt Reserve offers the opportunity to create an enduring legacy- a coastal home designed for today and for generations to come.
Once these eight homesites are claimed, the opportunity to own a piece of the Roosevelt legacy in Pine Knoll Shores will be gone forever. Contact us today to schedule a private tour of Roosevelt Reserve.
