What Residence Are Saying About Taberna

Cameron K.

“When we moved to New Bern in 2020, we looked for a safe and reserved neighborhood close to everything with easy access to all the community amenities. We found that and so much more living in Taberna. We now have a lifestyle that fits the way we want to live. I'm excited for my parents to retire and move to the New Bern area - they love it here."

Justin G.

"What an amazing place to live. After I retired, we looked at several places in Eastern North Carolina to live and play golf and landed in Taberna. It was an easy landing and smooth sailing ever since. With four amazing courses to play - all within 10 miles of our home - and a peaceful community to live. It's like we hit the lottery and we live 40 minutes from the beach."

John M.

“I never though I would admit this, but my wife was right. Moving to Taberna was the change we needed. Life before this was filled with busyness living in a high traffic neighborhood. I thought downsizing would be hard, but quiet streets, friendly neighbors, and miles of natural scenery right outside our door have made moving to Taberna an easy decision."

More Than a Neighborhood — It’s a Lifestyle You Don’t Want to Miss

A Top Choice for Active Retirees

New Bern consistently ranks as one of North Carolina’s top retirement destinations — and Taberna is a big reason why. With healthcare access, a vibrant social lifestyle, and amenities designed for active adults, Taberna is the retirement lifestyle many have been dreaming about. Taberna delivers something rare: a community that is peaceful but social, private but connected, and full of amenities without feeling overwhelming or commercialized.

Taberna’s biggest strength - its people

Seasonal events, hobby groups, book clubs, and holiday traditions create opportunities for friendships to bloom. Families love the parks and trails. Retirees love the low-stress lifestyle. And everyone loves being part of a community that celebrates both individuality and togetherness. Residents span every life stage, and yet everyone enjoys the same benefits: a safe, walkable neighborhood; social clubs & community events; and kid-friendly amenities.

Location - one of its most compelling features

You’re close enough to downtown New Bern to enjoy dining overlooking the Neuse and Trent Rivers, waterfront festivals, historic district strolls, and cultural attractions like Tryon Palace. But when you return home, you enter a world of quiet, natural beauty. And if you crave coastal adventure, the Crystal Coast beaches are just a short drive away — perfect for weekend boating, fishing, shelling, and ocean fun. For big-city needs, Raleigh and the Research Triangle are only about two hours away, making travel, healthcare, and major events accessible.

The Taberna Country Club mission is to provide a premier golfing and social experience in a setting of natural beauty, exceptional service, and community spirit. As a member, you are both a guest and a steward to our club’s traditions and standards. There is no question that Taberna is known for its golf course and club, luring residents of all ages to make Taberna their home. The privately owned Taberna Country Club is centrally located in Taberna. The club house’s design is based on a famous old castle in Bern, Switzerland. The golf course and driving range are open to the public. Use of the tennis, the outdoor pool, and dining is member only.

Award Winning Golf Course

For all the wonderful amenities, the real star of the show is Taberna Country Club’s course design, which was crafted by Senior Nicklaus Designer Jim Lipe. This 18-hole championship layout will both challenge and invite golfers of all skill and ability levels. Players at Taberna Country Club enjoy the unsurpassed beauty and relaxing solitude of the tree-lined fairways, sparkling lakes and white sand bunkers. This 6,917-yard course is nestled among rolling hills, breathtaking views and manicured greens. The golf course is considered by many to be the area’s finest. Along with our beautiful, private 225-acre golf course, we offer club facilities that provide an array of fabulous amenities for our members and guests.

Members-only amenities

The Taberna Country Club pool and tennis courts provide members and their guests with a safe, supervised and healthy environment for summer recreation.

The pool season usually starts Memorial Day weekend and ends Labor Day weekend and is available for our members to enjoy from 10am-8pm seven days a week. A poolside snack bar is also available (limited hours) every day except Monday.

Special educational programs, golf, tennis, a variety of dining options and of course our 25-yard six lane pool, all serve to make Taberna the club of choice for so many.

As you plan the purchase of your next home, you’re not just buying property,

you’re securing the lifestyle you’ve worked hard to enjoy.  

For experienced buyers and retirees, making the right financial choices can significantly enhance both purchasing power and peace of mind.

One strategy worth serious consideration is buying down your mortgage interest rate. While many buyers have never used this technique, it can be a game-changer—especially if you want a larger or more desirable home without dramatically increasing your monthly payment.

But today’s interest rates present a challenge. Even well-prepared buyers can feel the pinch of higher monthly mortgage payments, making it harder to get the home that truly fits your retirement vision.

That’s where a mortgage rate buydown comes in. 

This guide will explain how buying down your loan can help you afford a higher-priced home while securing a lower monthly payment.
