Discover 43 acres of prime Eastern North Carolina land for sale just outside Vanceboro in Craven County, located on Old Washington Road. This exceptional recreational and investment tract offers the perfect blend of privacy, accessibility, timber value, and abundant wildlife habitat. Situated at 35.329793, -77.146507, this property lies in a highly desirable rural corridor of Vanceboro within Craven County, offering convenient access while maintaining the seclusion buyers seek in a large acreage tract. The 43-acre parcel was timbered in early 2018 and professionally replanted in Loblolly Pine, creating a well-managed, young pine plantation with long-term investment potential. The replanted Loblolly Pines are established and thriving, positioning this tract as both a future timber income opportunity and a steadily appreciating land asset. Whether you are looking for a buy-and-hold timber investment, a recreational retreat, or a hunting property in Eastern NC, this tract checks every box. Access and usability truly set this property apart. A perimeter access path allows for easy navigation around the entire boundary, making property management, hunting setup, and recreational use simple and efficient. In addition, a professionally constructed 20-foot-wide center spur road runs through the heart of the property. Built and crowned by the timber harvesting company, this internal road has recently been cleared for ease of access and is gated at the entrance, providing both security and convenience. The infrastructure already in place saves a future owner significant time and expense. Opportunities to purchase well-managed acreage with infrastructure already in place, no flood zone concerns, and proven wildlife activity are increasingly hard to find. This property offers both immediate recreational enjoyment and long-term value growth in one of Eastern North Carolina's most desirable rural corridors.
