HOMESTEADER HEAVEN! Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a historical home with 42 acres of peaceful countryside less than 3 miles from I-95 in Smithfield! From the moment you arrive at this farm, anchored by a charming farmhouse nestled beneath a beautiful canopy of mature pecan trees, the setting invites you to slow down—imagine sipping lemonade on the front porch as a soft breeze moves through the trees and the day unwinds. The land offers a perfect balance of open space and natural beauty, ideal for planting a garden, raising animals, or simply enjoying wide-open views. Forge a winding path that leads you on a sunset stroll down to the pond, where evenings can be spent fishing for crappie and bass or watching the sky reflect off the water. With plenty of room for horses, this property is well-suited for equestrian use, recreational riding, and outdoor adventures. Abundant wildlife and forested acreage along the back makes it a strong deer hunting property. NO RESTRICTIONS so acreage easily accommodates UTVs, trails, and all the freedom country living promises. Looking to DEVELOP? Developers, this could be the perfect location for your next community! Sellers have performed preliminary soil tests and worked with a survey company to draft a subdivision layout of 21, approx. 1 acre lots! Convenient to I-95 and Hwy 70! Just minutes from the Carolina Premium Outlets and Eastfield Shopping Center area with entertainment, hotels, restaurants, and shopping. Don't miss the opportunity to own a beautiful piece of prime land in Johnston County!
