Overview

This 74+/- acre tract is zoned AR (Agricultural-Residential) and includes approximately 21 acres of cleared farmland alongside about 52 acres of mature timber. The property is configured to support a mix of agricultural and outdoor uses, with the timber providing an established, natural component for recreation and hunting. With over 1,900 feet of road frontage, the tract offers straightforward access and practical flexibility, subject to applicable county regulations.

The land is located on Rains Crossroads Road near the Johnston and Wayne County line, in Princeton, NC (Johnston County). According to the remarks, it is positioned about 20 minutes from both Goldsboro and Smithfield, and less than an hour from Raleigh, balancing rural privacy with reasonable access to regional amenities.

For buyers seeking productive ground, the cleared acreage is suited to farming. For those looking for recreational space, the combination of mature timber and road frontage can support hunting and other outdoor activities, while still preserving the option for building a country estate within the limits of local requirements. Timber-minded buyers may also find the existing wooded acreage appealing as part of a long-term ownership plan.
