The first thing you notice on Coyote Run is the water — a 10-acre duck impoundment carved into three managed basins that give this tract an immediate identity and purpose. Two of those basins can be flooded independently, while the third functions as a food plot, creating a turnkey system for waterfowl and big-game attraction. This is not raw acreage for speculation; it’s a working recreational property built around hunting, habitat management and privacy.
Spread over 100.29 acres inside the Shelter Creek Plantation and Hunting Club, the land combines mixed topography and predominantly wooded cover to support deer, black bear, turkeys, doves and small game. Existing deer stands and a duck blind convey with the sale so an experienced outdoorsman can begin using the property the day they take ownership. A 1.8-acre designated cabin lot sits near internal roads and presents a clear, buildable footprint for a lodge or weekend retreat — utilities on the tract are conventional for rural land (well, septic) and electric is available at the property line.
Owners here enjoy more than their private acreage: the Shelter Creek community provides shared amenities that add practical value and social appeal. The onsite lodge includes two bedrooms, a loft, two bathrooms, a living room with a fireplace, a full kitchen and a covered front porch. A skinning shed and walk-in cooler are part of the common facilities used by members of the club. Access to the property is via a gated entrance on Godwin Road with private internal roads — prospective buyers should confirm covenants, road maintenance responsibilities and any association rules with the Shelter Creek Landowners Association.
Location is quiet and purposeful: the tract borders Holly Shelter Game Land and sits about 15 miles from Burgaw for basic services, with Wilmington and Jacksonville reachable within roughly 37 and 23 miles respectively. Market evidence shows steady interest in recreational land across Pender County; the property’s existing waterfowl infrastructure, designated cabin lot and community amenities set it apart from typical timber tracts. Whether you’re looking for a ready-made hunting operation, a private weekend refuge, or a parcel to improve with habitat management, this Shelter Creek offering delivers scale, infrastructure and adjacency to one of eastern North Carolina’s largest public game lands.
