00 Nc-306, Grantsboro, NC 28529

This property boasts roughly 470 feet of road frontage along Highway 306 and miles of well maintained roads and trails. There is one agricultural field that is currently planted that is about 5 acres in size. There is a section of mature pines that has been thinned along the southern boundary that is roughly 60 acres. There is another 120 +/- acre section where the timber was recently harvested. East Prong Beard Creek borders the western boundary of the property and is the only area that is encompassed in the FEMA floodplain. This is also where the flooded timber and swamp land that attracts and holds waterfowl is located. There are several paths that lead to a few entry points along the creek, ideal for waterfowl hunting. The topography is level throughout the property and is slightly lower around the creek. The timber stands are staggered in ages and growth. So a healthy rotation of timber harvests could be implemented without clear cutting the entire property at once. The property has been used for recreational purposes so a number of hunting blinds have been strategically placed throughout the property. The dense understory in many places has created ideal bedding habitat for whitetail deer and black bears, as well as nesting habitat for wild turkeys. Many deer, wild turkey, and several large bears have been taken on the property. There's so much acreage available, numerous hunters can go afield and safely hunt. There are also places that are ideal for off-grid homesites and cabins, as well as homesites. The property is only a short drive south down Highway 306 from Grantsboro, 23 min. from New Bern, 15 min. from Oriental, and 45 min. from Washington. There are two points of access. The primary point is along Highway 306 but a deeded easement allows access from Roberts Road. There are also two farm fields that are surrounded by the subject property but aren't conveyed in the sale of the property.
