404.3 acre farm for sale outside of Leggett in Edgecombe County. An additional 278.8 acre farm is available on the north side of Highway 33, see MLS 10140896. The farm features 124 acres of cropland, 273 acres of mid-aged and mature timber, 7,600 feet of frontage along Swift Creek, and 2,250 feet of frontage along Highway 33. The property generates an annual income of $22,383 (approximate) from existing farm and hunting leases, which can be continued by the new owner. The timber includes mid-aged and mature timber ranging from mature mixed hardwoods in the Swift Creek bottomland to mature and mid-aged pines and hardwoods on the uplands. The timber has not been cruised, but a recent timber inspection estimates an approximate value of $250,000±. Additional potential sources of income include sand mining and wetland mitigation. The cropland is comprised of loam and sandy-loam soils, including Dga, Ro, GoA, NoA, RaA, and WaB soil types. Due to the wet spring, the fields were left fallow, but they will be planted in the Spring of 2026. Access throughout the farm is provided by miles of truck/SUV roads and smaller ATV paths. The property benefits from low property taxes through the Forestry/Agriculture Present Use Value program. This tax status can transfer to the new owner at closing, providing significant property tax savings. Past timber management activities have created diverse wildlife habitat, including mature hardwood bottomland along Swift Creek, mature upland pine stands, young pine stands with early successional understory, and sloughs that may be suitable for duck hunting. County water and electricity are located along the road front. Sewer is located about ½ a mile toward Leggett.
