62 Acres of Recreational Timberland For Sale in Craven County, NC! Explore the potential of this 62 acre tract in Craven County, located just outside Vanceboro. With approximately 220 feet of road frontage on Bay Bush Road, this property offers the ideal mix for residential, timber, and even sand mine investment opportunities. While access to the bulk of the property requires crossing a low-lying area that would need to be built up for easy access, the land layout is rewarding and versatile. Approximately 8 acres of wetlands are nestled within, providing an excellent natural habitat for wildlife and offering potential environmental benefits. For those interested in timber investment, the property includes around 25 acres of established pines and about 27 acres of young hardwoods. These stands create a robust base for future harvests or recreational use. One of the property's highlights is the 22 acres of high ground, characterized by extremely sandy, well-drained soil - perfect for building a private residence. This elevated section, combined with a total of 50 acres located out of the 100-year flood zone, offers added peace of mind for development and investment potential. Additionally, the sandy soil indicates a possible future sand mine operation, pending required testing and permits. This land enjoys a peaceful yet convenient location, just 15 minutes from both Vanceboro and Grifton, and about 30 minutes from Greenville and New Bern. It's also situated about an hour from the Outer Banks, making it a prime spot for those seeking both rural charm and coastal accessibility. Whether your interest lies in creating a secluded home site, maximizing timber resources, or exploring sand mining, this property offers diverse investment opportunities in a serene natural setting.
