This exceptional 186-acre timberland tract offers a rare opportunity for investors, recreational enthusiasts, and forestry professionals alike. Located in the thriving timber market of Richmond County, just outside the rural town of Mt. Gilead, this property combines income-producing potential with diverse habitat and abundant road frontage.

The property is split by Davis Haywood Road.

• 156 acres on the western side

Together, they provide over 6,000 feet of total road frontage—with 3,500+ feet on the west side and 2,500+ feet on the east—offering excellent access and future development potential.

Timber Resources & Investment Potential

• In 2023, approximately 59 acres were clear-cut, site-prepped, and replanted with Loblolly Pine in early 2024, creating a healthy, fast-growing young stand.
• An additional 110 acres is covered with 10-year-old planted Loblolly Pine, currently thriving and projected to be ready for a commercial thinning within the next 5–7 years, providing near-term income potential.
• Streamside Management Zones (SMZs) are naturally populated with hardwoods, enhancing the ecological value and supporting wildlife habitat.

Water Features & Wildlife Habitat

The Middle Prong of Hamer Creek flows through the northwestern portion of the property, adding year-round water access and enhancing the tract's recreational appeal. The combination of young pines, mature hardwoods, and proximity to water creates excellent wildlife habitat—ideal for Whitetail Deer, wild turkey, rabbits, and other game.

• Recently planted areas offer prime bedding and nesting habitat.
• Shaded understory in the 10-year-old stand provides protective cover and forage for wildlife.
• The diverse timber types and terrain make this an excellent hunting property

Whether you're seeking a timber investment, recreational retreat, or long-term land asset, this property checks all the boxes.
