Idea House tours to be resumed until July 6
River Dunes is a 600-home waterfront community being developed on 1,300 acres in eastern Pamlico County off Orchard Creek Road near Oriental. Mitchell said the visitors to the home are good for River Dunes and for Pamlico County. “The thousands of visitors who have already seen the house and the thousands more to come are giving national exposure to Pamlico County as a wonderful place to live,” said Mitchell. “We are proud to partner with Coastal Living, three great local charities, and hundreds of volunteers to showcase the best of waterfront living in coastal North Carolina.” The three-story, 4,920-square-foot house will remain open through July 6. It is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $10 per person and $15 per couple.
