About Fairfield

Fairfield is a quiet, tight-knit rural community resting right along the northern shore of Lake Mattamuskeet in eastern North Carolina. With only a couple hundred residents, life here revolves around farming, open fields, and the surrounding waterways. It is an outdoor lover's paradise, especially for fishing, birdwatching, and hunting around the nearby wildlife refuges. For anyone looking to escape city noise and settle into a peaceful, slow-paced corner of Hyde County, Fairfield offers plenty of room to breathe.
