160± Acres on South River & Highway 210 – Bladen County, NC
Exceptional 160± acre recreational and timber investment tract located in the northwestern portion of Bladen County, approximately one mile from the Cumberland County line. The property offers more than 1,400 feet of frontage along Highway 210 and approximately 1,000 feet of frontage along the scenic South River. The property is located 65 miles from downtown Wilmington, 30 miles downtown Fayetteville, and 18 miles downtown Clinton.
The tract features an extensive internal road system that provides excellent access throughout the property, including direct access to the river and most areas of the tract. It is believed that soils along the highway frontage may support septic systems; however, this should be verified by a licensed soil scientist.
Approximately 130 acres were harvested during the winter of 2022. Of that acreage, roughly 100 acres were site-prepared with herbicide treatment and replanted in containerized loblolly pine, creating an excellent long-term timber investment. An additional 30 acres located between a slough and the river were replanted in bald cypress. The remaining 30 acres were left uncut and contain a diverse mix of mature pine and hardwood timber.
The property also contains three older ponds that are believed to have been used for commercial fish production by a previous owner. These ponds add both recreational appeal and potential future management opportunities.
The property is currently enrolled in the USDA Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) and must remain in timber production until the contract expires in December 2028. The purchaser will be required to assume the terms and obligations of the existing CSP contract. USDA stewardship payments will continue for the next three years.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the tract, making it an outstanding recreational property. Species commonly found on the property include white-tailed deer, wild turkey, ducks, black bear, and occasional wild hogs.
Part of the property is within the FEMA Flood Plain and a cemetery at the road shows up on the plat as being part of property but does not convey.
Properties offering river frontage, highway frontage, established access roads, timber investment potential, wildlife habitat, and conservation income are increasingly difficult to find. This tract checks a lot of boxes and opportunities like this rarely come on the market.
