Coyote Run, Burgaw, NC 28420
Rare Shelter Creek Plantation parcel with cabin site and shared lodge access
100.29 acres
Lot
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.
Shelter Creek Plantation is a low-density, conservation- and hunting-oriented community in Pender County where parcels are managed for wildlife and privacy. The surrounding character is rural, with neighboring lands used for recreation, timber and occasional residences. Burgaw is the nearest service center (about 15 miles) offering groceries, dining and schools; larger regional amenities are available in Wilmington and Jacksonville. The community attracts outdoors-minded owners who value shared amenities — like the lodge and cooler — and adjacency to Holly Shelter Game Land for broad public-hunt access.
Pender County’s recreational-land market currently reads as balanced and steady: inventory is approximately six months and average days on market for similar properties sits near 90 days. Over the past year recreational parcels have shown modest appreciation (≈3% year-over-year) with a longer-term five-year appreciation closer to 15%. Median sale prices in the broader area are around $200,000, but specialized assets — tracts with waterfowl impoundments, dedicated cabin sites, or club amenities — trade at a premium. Recent local comparables include a 0.59-acre riverfront lot ($50,000) and a 21.3-acre tract ($199,000), underscoring how size and improvements dramatically affect value in this segment.
For buyers focused on hunting and recreation, this is a favorable window: demand for managed wildlife properties remains consistent while supply of turnkey, amenity-rich tracts is limited. Sellers of these niche parcels typically see brisk interest from experienced outdoors buyers and local investors; brokers should expect a marketing timeline consistent with the market’s ~90-day average, and buyers should be prepared to evaluate covenants, road maintenance responsibilities, and the economics of bringing utilities to a cabin site. Overall, this property sits in a stable market where specialized features — like the 10-acre impoundment and shared lodge access — materially enhance marketability and command a premium.
