Stella puts you on the peaceful bends of the White Oak River, where sunrise paddles and evening casts are part of the routine. Outdoor lovers can roam the longleaf pines and quiet trails of the Croatan National Forest, explore maritime forests and paddle trails at Hammocks Beach State Park, and drop a line at the classic Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier. Weekend explorations across the broader Crystal Coast bring beachfront strolls, fresh seafood, and family-friendly events, and even a day trip to the wild shores of Cape Lookout National Seashore is within easy reach.
Everyday living is straightforward, with groceries, cafes, and waterfront dining a short drive away in Swansboro. As part of Carteret County, Stella is served by Carteret County Public Schools, noted for strong academics, active arts programs, and competitive athletics. Many homes offer generous lots shaded by pines and oaks, while local boat launches make it simple to slip onto the White Oak for kayaking, cruising, or inshore fishing. Whether you’re planning a forever home or a low-key coastal retreat, Stella delivers river-to-sea access and a welcoming pace that makes getting outside effortless.
