Mount Gilead, NC 27306 - Montgomery County

This 46.13-acre tract, located in the Pekin community of Montgomery County, NC, is a fantastic opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and land investors. The property lies on both sides of Lovin Hill Road, offering diverse terrain, timber potential, and abundant wildlife habitat. The eastern boundary is defined by Cheeks Creek, a beautiful tributary that enhances the property’s aesthetics and provides a valuable water source for wildlife. This scenic creek meanders along the land, adding to its recreational appeal and increasing habitat diversity for deer, turkey, and other native species.

The eastern portion of the property, approximately 20 acres, was harvested in 2014 and naturally regenerated with a mix of pine and hardwood, though poor survival resulted in an uneven stand. This area lies within a floodplain and experiences periodic flooding during heavy rain, making it less ideal for development but highly beneficial for wildlife habitat. The western portion of the property includes approximately 8.5 acres that were harvested in 1999 and replanted with loblolly pine, which are now 25 years old and approaching a merchantable stage, offering potential for future timber income.

This property is an excellent choice for those seeking a hunting and recreational retreat, with a strong presence of deer and turkey. The combination of timber stands, natural regeneration, and the presence of Cheeks Creek creates an ideal environment for game species, making this an attractive location for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts. While the floodplain conditions may limit its suitability for residential development, this tract is perfect for someone looking to own private acreage for outdoor enjoyment or a long-term land investment.

The Pekin community is one of Montgomery County’s historic rural areas, known for its deep roots in agriculture and forestry. Additionally, the property is within a short drive of the Uwharrie National Forest, offering thousands of acres for hiking, camping, and off-roading. With its scenic water features, diverse wildlife habitat, and timber potential, this 46.13-acre tract presents a unique opportunity to own a versatile piece of land in a highly desirable part of North Carolina.
