Generous 4-Bed New Home on .47-Acre in Riverfront Community
What first stands out at 254 Collier Gate St is the generous lot—nearly half an acre—within Collier Gate Estates, a riverfront neighborhood where newer builds sit on roomy, level lawns. This 2024-built, two-story home delivers roughly 2,300 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space: four bedrooms, three full baths, and an open-plan main level designed for everyday comfort and entertaining.
Inside, coffered ceilings mark the living areas and give the principal public rooms a tailored, finished feel. The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen that opens to the family room, creating an ideal setting for gatherings without losing the sense of distinct spaces. Practical systems—central air, a heat pump, public water and a septic system—keep mechanicals straightforward while the attached two-car garage and paved driveway accommodate family vehicles and guests.
A notable feature of this home is covered outdoor living both front and rear. The porches frame long seasonal views across the lawn and provide sheltered spots for morning coffee or evening conversations. With a shingle roof, wood-frame construction and new-construction condition, near-term maintenance worries are minimal—an attractive prospect for buyers who want move-in readiness paired with the flexibility to personalize landscaping or add backyard amenities over time.
Location is purposeful: Collier Gate Estates sits about 7 miles from I-295 and provides easy access to Methodist University (approx. 7 miles) and downtown Fayetteville (approx. 10 miles). The All American Gate at Fort Liberty is roughly a 15-minute drive, making this home appealing to military families and professionals commuting to the base. Long Hill Elementary and Pine Forest Middle perform above area averages; buyers should note Pine Forest Senior High has lower ratings. Annual property taxes approximate $4,000—an important factor to budget when assessing total monthly carrying costs.
Taken together—sizeable lot, contemporary finishes, covered porches and proximity to employment and institutions—254 Collier Gate St represents a strong new-home option in a growing corridor where comparable new builds recently sold in the $340k–$370k range. This is a practical, well-located property for families, base-affiliated buyers, or anyone seeking low-maintenance new construction with outdoor room to grow.

A factual market snapshot around 254 Collier Gate St.
Local market signals point to a balanced-but-leaning-seller environment for Collier Gate Estates and the broader Linden/Fayetteville MSA. Inventory sits at about 3.5 months—below the traditional 4–6 month neutral range—so well-priced, turnkey new construction tends to move relatively quickly. Average days on market across the area are elevated at roughly 107 days, indicating variable demand and the importance of accurate pricing. Median sale prices in the area are near $287,000, with year-over-year appreciation of about 5% and five-year gains near 15%.
Recent, highly relevant comparables in Collier Gate Estates closed in May 2024 between $339,900 and $370,000; those homes produced price-per-square-foot figures in the $155–$170 range. For a buyer, that data suggests this property is competitively positioned: newer inventory is in demand, but the market gives buyers time to evaluate because of longer DOM figures. For a seller or investor, proximity to Fort Liberty and steady appreciation support rental demand and resale potential—especially for 4BR, 3BA single-family homes on larger lots. Overall, this is a good time to consider a purchase here if you value newer construction and land, but expect to move decisively when a well-priced option appears.
