Looking for room to breathe? This 77+/- acre tract in Union Grove, NC might be exactly what you've been waiting for. About 25 acres are open agricultural field, currently leased to a local farmer, while appoximately 50 acres are in planted pines and mixed timber. A hunting group leases the property as well. Buy it and keep both leases running for supplemental income or make it your own. This is the kind of property where you could finally build that family farm you've always talked about. Road frontage is excellent, with over 520' on Grassy Knob Rd and 720' on Butch Branch Rd (same road, name changes partway through). Location is hard to beat: about an hour to uptown Charlotte and Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, easy access to I-77, and just 25 minutes to downtown Statesville. The property is currently enrolled in the PUV/farm use program, keeping taxes remarkably low ($188 total in 2025). The buyer will have the option to continue the program. Note that pulling it out of the program triggers 3 years of rollback taxes plus interest, so factor that into your plans. Whether you're dreaming of the farm you always wanted or looking to park money in a long term land investment, this one deserves a look.
