Property Description

15.71 total acres of recreational hunting land for sale in Northampton County, NC! Located outside of city limits and free of restrictions, this offering consists of two parcels being sold together and presents outstanding potential for recreational use! Located approximately 70 feet apart, both parcels are accessed from NC Highway 308 (Roxobel Road), just south of Rich Square, with convenient access from US Highway 258. The primary tract is roughly 15.5 acres with 420+/- feet of road frontage. The additional parcel is about 0.21 acres and is fully wooded with roughly 50+/- feet of frontage. A 500+/- foot long access path runs through the 15.5 acre property and is wide enough for a pickup truck, ATV, or side-by-side. This access path takes you right to the center of the property, where you can find an open area roughly half an acre in size. This would be an excellent location for shooting, camping, or even a secluded food plot and hunting blind. An older abandoned cemetery can also be located along to wood line of this open area. Additionally, approximately one acre of farmland is located along the southern boundary of the property. The land is predominantly wooded, featuring a beautiful mix of hardwoods and pines. Near the entrance, a stand of younger pines with scattered hardwoods and a dense understory line both sides of the path, presenting prime nesting habitat for turkeys and bedding areas for whitetail deer. As you travel farther into the property, the timber transitions to a mixed hardwood stand with a gentle drop in elevation. Abundant signs of wildlife indicate regular activity from wild turkeys and whitetail deer in this area of the property. A camper or small cabin could potentially be situated on the 0.21 acre parcel, allowing you to stay in close proximity to the larger tract without placing you directly on the portion where the majority of hunting will occur. Neither property is located within the FEMA floodplain, but a small section of surface water and/or wetlands are present towards the rear of the 15.5 acre property, where a seasonal creek may be located. Northampton County is consistently ranked as one of the top counties in North Carolina for whitetail deer and wild turkeys, both in terms of harvest and population density. If you've been searching for an affordable property that offers the freedom to enjoy the outdoors, this secluded tract presents an exceptional opportunity! Please note, this property is posted and no trespassing as allowed. All showings need to be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
