Carteret County covers about 508 square miles of land in the eastern part of North Carolina. It ranks 41st of 100 by land area, putting it in the larger half of North Carolina counties. There are also roughly 823 square miles of water inside the county line, so waterfront and water-access parcels come up here more often than in most of the state. At around 138 people per square mile (70,259 residents), Carteret sits in the middle of the state by density, 45th of 100. That usually means both buildable lots near town and open acreage further out.
Our current estimate for vacant land in Carteret County averages about $45,000 per acre (Buy Sell Land NC LLC estimate, December 2025), 6th highest of North Carolina's 100 counties and above the statewide county median of $13,000. A single parcel can land well above or below that average depending on road access, utilities, terrain and flood zone. Get a free estimate for your Carteret County land ›
