Opportunities to purchase 461.39± contiguous acres at an affordable price per acre are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Eastern North Carolina. This large recreational and timber tract offers an exceptional combination of size, diverse habitat, established access, mature hardwoods, growing pine timber, and outstanding hunting opportunities. For buyers looking to own a significant amount of land without paying the premium often associated with large acreage tracts, this property deserves serious consideration. The property features a diverse mix of approximately 18-year-old pine stands, mature maple and hardwood timber, natural oak and maple regrowth, emerging pine, and younger regenerating areas that provide thick bedding and security cover for wildlife. Wildlife activity is abundant, with whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, hogs, quail, and other small game utilizing the property and surrounding area. The combination of mature timber, thick regrowth, agricultural influence, and interior openings provides an excellent foundation for creating a first-class hunting property. An approximately 2-acre established clearing has already been created and offers an ideal location for a food plot, hunting setup, or expanded wildlife management area. Additional food plots, feeders, and strategic habitat improvements could make this an exceptional property for the serious outdoorsman. Established access points and interior ATV trails allow you to travel through much of the acreage by ATV or side-by-side, making it easy to hunt, explore, and manage the property. Recently surveyed boundaries and professionally opened property lines provide added confidence and usability from day one. Whether your goal is hunting, timber investment, ATV riding, camping, or simply owning a large private retreat, this property offers the acreage and diversity to do it all. The size and privacy of the tract provide numerous possibilities for an off-grid hunting camp, rustic cabin, or future recreational getaway. Power can be brought to this property as the 60ft access easement allows for utility access and would have to be ran over 3 miles to get there. Conveniently located within approximately 30 minutes of New Bern and 45 minutes of Greenville, the property offers the privacy of rural Eastern North Carolina while remaining within reach of shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. NC Wildlife boat ramps along the Neuse River are also nearby, providing additional opportunities for boating and fishing. Large tracts of this size, with this level of habitat diversity and recreational potential, are becoming harder to find--especially at an attractive price per acre. With 461.39± acres to hunt, manage, invest in, and enjoy, this is a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of Eastern North Carolina land without the high per-acre price often associated with properties of this size.
