Located just outside of Grifton, NC near the edge of Lenoir County, this 89.19-acre tract offers a hard-to-find mix of recreation, future investment potential, and country living opportunities in a convenient Eastern North Carolina location. Situated off Skeeter Pond Road with quick access to Hwy 11, the property allows for an easy drive to Kinston, Greenville, Wilson, and Goldsboro while still offering the peace and privacy that rural landowners look for. The North Carolina coast is also within reach, with Emerald Isle and the Crystal Coast being an easy weekend trip away. One of the standout features of the property is the approximately 5.5-acre farm field located near the front of the tract. Soil evaluations have shown the area to be suitable for septic, making it an excellent location for a future homesite, hunting cabin, or small country retreat. The field provides open space for a home, garden, horses, or additional food plots while still allowing plenty of room to enjoy the surrounding acreage. With the property's location and road frontage, this area could become a beautiful private setting tucked back off the road while still maintaining convenient access to nearby towns and amenities. Another major feature is the approximately 2-acre pond located within the tract. While the pond water level has fluctuated, the layout and setting create the potential for a truly special property feature if a well or water management system were installed to help maintain a full water level year-round. A restored pond could provide excellent fishing opportunities, beautiful views from a future homesite, and additional wildlife habitat. With consistent water, the pond could also become an attractive draw for ducks and other waterfowl during the fall and winter months. Approximately 22.5 acres of the property are currently enrolled in a CREP easement that matures in 2036. This portion of the tract offers established cover and habitat for wildlife while also helping create privacy throughout the property. Beyond the CREP acreage, much of the remaining land consists of approximately 5-year-old natural regrowth. The property has shown a strong natural regeneration of loblolly pine, giving future owners the opportunity to manage the tract for timber production, recreation, or long-term investment value. The mix of young pine growth, open areas, and habitat cover creates excellent diversity across the property. Wildlife is abundant throughout the area and on the tract itself. Deer sign can be found across the property, and the area is also known for healthy populations of black bear and wild turkey. A bobcat has even been seen on-site, showing the quality habitat this property provides for a variety of native wildlife species. The combination of thick bedding cover, nearby agriculture, open water potential, and natural travel corridors creates excellent hunting and recreational opportunities for the next owner. Whether you are looking for a recreational getaway, future homesite, timber investment, or hunting property with room to improve and customize, this tract offers the size, location, and habitat to make it a standout property in Eastern North Carolina.
