The Big Woods

The Big Woods: Properties like this rarely come to market. Offering more than 1.25 miles of common boundary with the Holly Springs National Forest, this tract provides a level of privacy, natural beauty, and recreational opportunity that is exceptionally hard to find. The property combines significant timber value, excellent hunting, natural water features, road frontage, potential homesites, and breathtaking native hardwoods to create a truly special offering. One of the most impressive features is the mature hardwood timber. Large, beautiful white oaks, red oaks, and other native hardwood species cover most of the property, with portions of the timber believed to be more than 100 years old. The timber alone is estimated to have a value approaching $2,500 per acre, providing substantial value beyond the land itself. The property offers approximately 1,625 feet of frontage along County Road 7, including roughly 700 feet along the northeastern boundary and 925 feet along the northwestern boundary, providing excellent accessibility and multiple possibilities for future use. Byers Creek flows along the northwest corner of theproperty, while a smaller intermittent stream meanders from southeast to northwest through the tract before flowing into Byers Creek. These natural features add to the property's beauty while providing valuable wildlife habitat. For the outdoorsman, the recreational potential is exceptional. Deer and turkey hunting are natural highlights, with the expansive National Forest boundary creating an uninterrupted setting for wildlife and outdoor recreation. From the southern portion of the property, you can walk more than two miles through uninterrupted forest before reaching the nearest road-a level of seclusion that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Adding to the property's uniqueness is an old hand-hewn log cabin located on the tract. While the cabin is not assigned any value as part of the sale, it is an interesting historic feature that adds character and offers a glimpse into the property's past. Approximately 10 acres of the property are currently managed as pasture, providing additional versatility for livestock, recreation, or other agricultural uses. Whether you're looking for a private homesite, a recreational retreat, a hunting property, a timber investment, or a long-term land investment, this tract offers an impressive combination of attributes. The mature hardwoods, abundant wildlife, flowing water, National Forest boundary, and natural beauty make this a property that truly stands apart. The property may also offer the possibility of division into as many as four parcels, ranging in size from approximately 2 acres to 61+/- acres.
