Seventy-seven acres of managed pine timberland in the quiet, rolling countryside of northern Moore County - a rare large, single-owner tract with paved frontage in two spots on Haw Branch Road (±445 ft and ±200 ft), minutes from the Chatham and Lee county lines and an easy drive to Sanford, Pittsboro, Siler City, Robbins, and the greater Sandhills.
This is a true dual-purpose property: an income-capable timber investment and a private recreational retreat with real homesite potential. The interior is planted in "Superior" loblolly pine - a genetically improved seedling stock prized for faster growth and better timber quality - replanted after the 2008-09 harvest and now a maturing ~16-year stand approaching its first commercial thinning, so a buyer steps into a growing asset from day one. Two streams (tributaries of Haw Branch) wind through the tract, watering the wildlife, creating natural draws and buffers, and adding to the hunting and recreation appeal. The stream running through the center of the property would make an excellent pond site - a chance to add a real centerpiece for recreation, wildlife, and a future homesite.
The land offers excellent recreational opportunities, with strong hunting for whitetail deer, turkey, and small game across the pine stands, hardwood draws, and stream corridors. Access is a standout: an excellent interior road runs more than 1,900 feet into the property, with multiple ATV trails threading the interior and perimeter - so you can ride, hunt, and work the whole tract from day one. Gently rolling terrain (roughly 270-330 ft) and two points of paved road frontage add flexibility for access and homesite placement. The tract stretches roughly ±3,478 ft along its southern boundary, ±2,850 ft along the north, and ±1,074 ft across the rear - a big, workable block of land. Zoned RA (Rural Agricultural), it supports timber, recreation, and rural-homesite use, and it's held in present-use forestry deferral - meaning very low carrying costs while the pine keeps growing in value. Power is at the road; well and septic would serve a future homesite. Plat on file. Bring your timber plan, your hunting lease, or your dream homesite - tracts this size and character rarely come available here.
