0 Arant Farm Rd Merritt, NC 28556

Nearing 5,000ft of corner road frontage this 79.5 acres is very accessible for many access points. With around 13.5 acres of tillable farmland and about 54 acres of planted pines that are nearing harvest age this property is a great investment property as it has passive income off of the farmland and income generating timber. The other almost 12 acres nearest to the Bay River is encompassed in wetlands and when I walked it, it had what looked to be a road system from how much wildlife traveled in it.Pamlico County is known for the tremendous amount of wildlife it holds from small game to big game and even a great waterfowl population. When walking this property I noticed many signs of wildlife including turkey tracks in the soft dirt on the edges of the field, deer scapes scattered throughout, and multiple Beech Trees with black bear claw marks. With almost 80 acres this property has enough ground to have a versatile hunting property from well maintained foodplots to building a waterfowl impoundment with great proximity to the Bay River. Lined on 2 sides by paved road frontage you will find the majority of the soils to be Arapahoe loamy fine sand and the remaining less than 20% of the property being Yonges loamy fine sand soils. Though this whole property is encompassed by the floodplain, over 65 acres are outside of wetlands and can be tested to find a suitable location for a homesite and septic system.Being located only minutes from the town of Bayboro this property has easy access to all the amenities needed. Just outside of a short 30 minute drive the beautiful historic town of New Bern will be found filled with delicious food and drinks and many other beautiful sites to see.This property is closely monitored so please do not go onto the property without a broker or representative.
