Now available this rare opportunity to acquire productive timberland in coastal North Carolina. This timberland is accessible by NCSR 1005 just ten minutes from the coastal town of Oriental, NC. New Bern, NC is roughly a 40-minute drive. Kershaw Road divides this 76-acre tract virtually in two equal halves. The 38 acres to the north of Kershaw Road is comprised of pine timberland, of which 23 acres is plantation that was sheared, bedded and replanted by hand in 2008. The hand-planted seedlings used were 2nd generation, treated Weyerhaeuser Loblolly pine on approximate 7' to 10' spacing. This highly productive timberland is under forestry management in conjunction with the NC Division of Forest Resources in Pamlico County. For anyone interested, it should be mentioned that this area is widely recognized for its excellent hunting opportunities! On this property you will easily fill your tags in season on deer, bear, and turkey. Crossing over to the south of Kershaw Road this property has over 800 feet of frontage on Kershaw Creek. This creek runs to the Neuse River at the town of Oriental, NC. Visible at the shoulder of the road there is a clean walking trail that has just been mulched to provide easy walking for anyone interested in a closer look at the land. Walking down this trail it becomes evident that the pine timber was selectively harvested about 2 years ago leaving a stand of mostly hardwoods. The trail will end at Kershaw Creek. The area closest to the creek has been opened up to provide a better view of the lay of the land. As you walk the land you will likely notice the thousands of pine seedlings that have voluntarily come up and are already reaching 3 to 4 feet in height in places. It isn't every day that timber tracts like this come up for sale in Eastern NC, and now is your time to act.
