Nc Highway 33 Tarboro, NC 27886

This 683.1-acre farm is located outside of Leggett in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. The property consists of two tax parcels, one of 278.8 acres and the other of 404.3 acres, situated on both sides of Highway 33. The farm includes 241 acres of cropland, 142 acres of 2019 loblolly pine plantation, and 297 acres of mid-aged and mature timber. It features 6,190 feet of frontage on Highway 33 and 7,600 feet of frontage on Swift Creek. The property generates an annual income of $45,000 from existing farm and hunting leases, which the new owner can continue. The southern parcel contains mid-aged and mature timber, ranging from mature mixed hardwoods in the Swift Creek bottomland to mature and mid-aged pines and hardwoods on the uplands. A recent timber inspection estimates the timber value at approximately $250,000. The 142-acre pine plantation on the northern parcel can be thinned in approximately eight years, producing additional income. Other potential income sources include sand mining and wetland mitigation on the southern parcel. The cropland consists of loam and sandy-loam soils, including Dga, Ro, GoA, NoA, RaA, and WaB soil types. Access throughout the farm is provided by miles of truck/SUV roads and smaller ATV paths. The property benefits from low property taxes through the Forestry/Agriculture Present Use Value program, which can transfer to the new owner at closing. Past timber management activities have created diverse wildlife habitat, including mature hardwood bottomland along Swift Creek, mature upland pine stands, young pine stands with early successional understory, and sloughs suitable for duck hunting. County water and electricity are available along the road front, and sewer is located about 1/2 mile toward Leggett. The farm is located 8 miles to Tarboro and the Kingsboro Mega Site, 15 miles to Rocky Mount and 20 miles to Interstate 95.
