223 Yellow Hammer Rd, Tyner, NC 27980

Property Description

Located in the quiet farming community near Tyner, this 27-acre property offers a great mix of farmland, timber, and swamp habitat in the heart of eastern North Carolina's coastal plain. The land sits along Fork Road and backs up to a swamp connected to Dillard Mill Pond, which eventually flows into the nearby Chowan River. This area is well known for its farming, fishing, and waterfowl habitat, making it a strong option for someone looking for a homesite with hunting and outdoor recreation right out the back door. The property includes about 14 acres of open tillable farmland, which provides an excellent location for a future homesite, small farm, or country estate. The ground is mostly level and easy to work with, offering open views of the surrounding countryside. Much of the farmland in this area sits on Norfolk series soils, such as Norfolk fine sandy loam, which are common across Chowan County and are considered some of the better soils for general farming and crop production. These soils are well-drained and commonly used for crops like corn, soybeans, peanuts, and other row crops throughout the county. Approximately 7 acres of timber provide a natural buffer and wildlife cover. This section of the property may include pine and mixed hardwoods typical of the region. Forest areas in Chowan County often contain pine, oak, gum, and cypress trees, creating excellent habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife that move between the farmland and nearby wetlands. The rear 6 acres consist of swamp that borders the waters flowing from Dillard Mill Pond, creating outstanding wildlife habitat. For hunters, this section of the property is a major highlight. The swamp and nearby water create an excellent duck hunting environment, especially during the fall and winter migration. Water moving between the pond, creeks, and the Chowan River system provides natural travel corridors for waterfowl. The mix of shallow water, timber, and natural food sources makes this type of habitat attractive to wood ducks and other migrating ducks common in northeastern North Carolina. Fishing opportunities are also close by, with the Chowan River and nearby waters known for species such as bass, catfish, and panfish. The river system and surrounding wetlands provide a healthy environment for both fish and waterfowl. With a strong balance of farmland, timber, and swamp habitat, this 27-acre tract offers multiple uses. It can serve as a homesite, a small farm, a hunting property, or a weekend getaway. The quiet rural setting near Tyner gives you the peace of the countryside while still being within driving distance of Edenton and other nearby towns. This is a great opportunity to own a versatile piece of land in one of northeastern North Carolina's most scenic and wildlife-rich areas.
