Whether managing deer, quail, corn, or timber, the soil productivity is at the core of the potential and the yield of any crop. The Bladen 894 Tract literally has some of the most productive soils in the most productive coastal climate in the Carolinas. Those familiar with high production agriculture or timber production will recognize the prevailing soil series including Rains, Coxville, Lynchburg, and Pantego. These soils empower either strong farm lease potential or strong direct yields for the farming or timber growing family.

No commercial timber harvesting has been completed at the Bladen 894 Tract over the last few decades and as a result, the property is heavily timbered with large diameter pine. When accessing timber value, tree size and proximity to the mill in large part determine its value. The two largest mills in SE NC are less than 15 miles away from this property and global export capacity for timber exists at The Port of Wilmington, NC. Timber management can be regulated to produce income at set intervals and transition the natural timber stands to a new era of high production timber management by installing advanced-genetic loblolly or longleaf pine plantations.

Any crops produced can be sold into strong, local agricultural or timber markets, or be marketed globally. Two massive ports load materials for export daily in Wilmington (36 miles away), and Morehead City (115 miles). Access to the Port of Wilmington is provided by major travel corridor I-74 which connects Wilmington to I-95 and I-40. CSX Transportation provides an expansive rail network from major intermodal inland hubs from Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham to the coast. The coastal zone is set-up to continue developing into a huge global export center.

For the high net worth investor, this property offers an attractive investment with potential annual returns from high agricultural lease rates, hunt leases, and periodic timber sale returns, in addition to land appreciation from both a commodity production aspect and a regional development angle. And best yet, 2018 taxes in the reduced tax program (enrolled in the Present Use-Value, or PUV, Taxation Program) were under $2.66/acre/year*. For the investor looking for a piece of hunting land to develop and maximize, the shape, layout, and productivity of this property will not be beat.
