Property Description
Premier 39.74 Acre Riverfront Retreat & Hunting Cabin in Edgecombe County, NC! Conveniently located just off Highway 42 and situated along the Tar River, this 39.74-acre property features approximately 625 feet of road frontage and about 1,300 feet of river frontage, offering a rare combination of river frontage, open land, mature timber, and turnkey hunting infrastructure. As you enter the property, you'll find approximately 6 acres of open land tucked behind a row of planted pines that run parallel to the road. This open area is surrounded by a beautiful mix of hardwood and pine timber, creating a quiet and secluded setting. Just past the open land sits a newly renovated cabin, nestled between the trees. Offering versatile potential, the cabin could serve as a residence, hunting camp, event venue, or simply a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. Outside, the cabin features two large lean-to structures on both sides, providing convenient covered storage for boats, ATVs, side-by-sides, and more, along with a back porch equipped with a TV that sits adjacent to an outdoor fire pit. This is the perfect place to watch a ball game after an evening spent in the woods or on the water! The cabin's lower level consists of an open-concept layout with one bathroom, while the upstairs features a narrow loft-style space with several windows and small front and back porches. The loft's beautifully refinished wood ceilings and floors provide the perfect location for displaying taxidermy mounts. A dual-access front porch provides entry to both the cabin's main level and the upper story, creating a rustic aesthetic that beautifully complements the property. Please note, the cabin has not been professionally measured for exact square footage. Buyers are encouraged to have this verified by a professional if there are any questions or concerns about the home's exact measurements. A newly established road and trail system allows convenient access throughout the property, including the riverbanks and interior wooded areas. Wildlife is abundant, with a strong population of whitetail deer and wild turkey, as evidenced by numerous trails, rubs, and tracks throughout the property. A small pond, located along the woodline of the open land, serves as a reliable watering hole for wildlife. A large, elevated box blind is already in place and easily accessible for early morning or late afternoon hunts. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Old Sparta Boat Ramp sits adjacent to the property, making river access simple and convenient. Fishing opportunities within the area are exceptional, especially during the spring rockfish and shad runs. The property is ideally located just minutes from Tarboro, Pinetops, and Macclesfield, and approximately 25 minutes from Greenville. Additionally, the intersection of Highway 42 and Highway 33 is less than one mile away, providing excellent accessibility from all directions. Out of respect for the landowners and tenants, all showings require a licensed agent to be present and must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.
