72.47± acres of farmland and river frontage for sale in Harnett County, NC — located between Raleigh and Fayetteville in south-central North Carolina.
This rare multi-parcel offering consists of four parcels totaling 72.47 deeded acres (per deed and survey), positioned on both sides of Will Lucas Road in Linden, NC — approximately 15 miles southeast of Lillington and 20 miles from Angier. Large, well-positioned land holdings of this scale are increasingly difficult to assemble in Harnett County, and this property sits in one of south-central North Carolina's most sought-after corridors for farmland and rural estate buyers between Raleigh and Fayetteville.
Along the south side of Will Lucas Road lies approximately 30 acres of level, contiguous tillable farmland. The open ground is efficiently configured for agricultural use and offers long-term flexibility under the current RA-20R zoning classification (20,000 square foot minimum lot size). The soils are predominantly Wickham fine sandy loam and related sandy loam classifications — Coastal Plain soils historically productive for row crops including corn, soybeans, and small grains.
The primary tract, totaling approximately 29.63 acres, contains the residence and agricultural improvements and includes approximately 2,000 feet of frontage along the Little River. This portion of the property is naturally buffered by timber and river frontage, blending open ground with wooded edges to create privacy, recreational appeal, and long-term control of your surroundings.
An additional ±14-acre tract lies on the north side of Will Lucas Road. Positioned independently with road frontage and bordered along its northern boundary by Anderson Creek, this wooded parcel offers natural separation and may present subdivision or resale flexibility, subject to county approval.
The residence is a 3,382± square foot brick home, supported by an in-ground pool with pool house, a 42x120 equipment shelter, a renovated historic tobacco barn with added lean-to, and one remaining poultry house structure that is partially damaged and currently used for storage.
The property also includes a fully renovated auxiliary residence permanently affixed to a masonry foundation and classified as real property. Interior updates include custom wood cabinetry, updated flooring, and modern finishes — well-suited for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or rental income potential.
The majority of the acreage consists of well-drained Coastal Plain soils, with significant areas of Wickham fine sandy loam that have historically supported strong agricultural production. Portions along Anderson Creek and the Little River fall within the FEMA 100-year floodplain, typical for riverfront property in Harnett County. The residence and primary open acreage are positioned outside of these areas.
The property is served by a 2" county water meter, with a 4" water main at road frontage and a 6" main nearby — a meaningful infrastructure advantage for future residential or agricultural use, subject to county approval.
Wildlife habitat is abundant throughout, supporting deer, turkey, small game, and fishing along the Little River and the ponds — making this an exceptional dual-purpose property for the serious farmer, hunter, or rural estate buyer in central North Carolina.
Over the past 20+ years, the owner has carefully shaped this property — balancing agricultural use, residential living, and recreational value into a cohesive, private riverfront holding. This is a substantial Harnett County land offering with estate-level privacy today and meaningful long-term flexibility for the future.
