90000 Sheppard Mill Road, Greenville, NC 27834 - Pitt County

254 acres of timberland for sale on the county boundary of Pitt and Beaufort along Tranters Creek. This Legacy Farm was once tillable farmland but has been part of a highly managed forestry program within the timber industry for decades. While its current use is primarily an investment in timber management, it also serves as a thriving wildlife habitat, supporting large populations of whitetail deer, turkey, waterfowl, and black bear.

Currently, the property's timber stands are segmented by age, including approximately 45 acres of mature thinned pine, 54 acres of 8-year-old pine, 61 acres of 10-year-old pine, 19 acres of 15-year-old longleaf pine, 53 acres of mature mixed timber in the low ground next to Tranters Creek, and 1.5 acres of young planted hardwood. The timber management plan is strategically designed for success, ensuring a sustainable rotation of growth stages. The various-aged timber also provides diverse wildlife habitats—quail thrive in the thick brush of young timber, whitetail deer bed down in the 15-foot pines, and turkeys roost in the mature hardwoods.

This property has been managed for wildlife for years. The extensive trail system throughout the property is wide and cleared, offering opportunities for food plots with ample sunlight exposure. Additionally, an old powerline easement runs through the property, with 1.5 acres historically planted with a forage mix, including oats, grains, and turnips. On the northern side, 7 acres of tillable ground provide an ideal setup for strategic hunting while offering a sense of safety and seclusion for wildlife. This area is surrounded by mature timber, hardwoods, and thick pine sections for excellent cover.

The eastern boundary of the property follows Tranters Creek, providing thousands of feet of creek frontage. The southeastern section offers the most navigable water, with reports of numerous 6-8 lb largemouth bass and various panfish species, including bream, crappie, and perch.
