About this home
Featuring approximately 1,580 +/- feet of road frontage, 12 +/- acres of productive farmland, and 12.45 +/- acres of timberland, this affordable Halifax County property offers the perfect blend of investment potential, recreational opportunities, and rural homesite possibilities.
Located off Highway 561 in Halifax County, NC, this versatile property is conveniently situated just minutes from Halifax, Tillery, Rich Square, and Scotland Neck, while still offering the peace and privacy that rural eastern North Carolina is known for.
The property consists of approximately 12 acres of open farmland that is currently leased and planted in corn, providing immediate agricultural income. The remaining 12.45 acres of timberland is naturally regenerated volunteer timber that was harvested approximately 4-5 years ago. As the timber continues to mature, it offers excellent long-term investment potential while already providing quality wildlife habitat.
One of the property's most attractive features is its approximately 1,580 feet of road frontage along Highway 561, offering multiple access points and excellent potential for a future homesite. Subject to a soil evaluation for septic suitability, the open farmland provides several ideal building locations overlooking the surrounding countryside.
The soils on the property consist primarily of Dorian silt loam (approximately 81%), with additional areas of Roanoke loam (10%) and Warne silt loam (9%). These productive Coastal Plain soils are well-suited for agricultural use and contribute to the property's current farming operation.
None of the property lies within the FEMA 100-year floodplain, nor are there any mapped wetland-designated areas, making the tract even more desirable for both agricultural and residential uses.
Halifax County has long been recognized as one of eastern North Carolina's premier destinations for whitetail deer and wild turkey hunting, and this property is no exception. The young regenerating timber provides excellent bedding cover for wildlife, while the adjoining farmland creates an ideal food source. With ample acreage, a future owner could easily establish shooting lanes, food plots, ATV and side-by-side trails, or simply enjoy the property as a private recreational retreat.
Whether you're searching for a country homesite, an entry-level land investment with annual farm income, or an affordable property to enjoy hunting, recreational shooting, trail riding, or simply escaping the city, this tract offers outstanding versatility in a highly desirable rural setting.
For buyers looking to expand their investment, an additional 14.16 +/- acre tract is also available directly across Highway 561 at the corner of Highway 561 and Rainbow Road. This adjoining property consists entirely of naturally regenerated timberland that was harvested at the same time as this tract and can be purchased together to create an even larger recreational or investment opportunity....
