Saints Delight Church Rd, New Bern, NC 28560

Property Description

Explore 96± acres of timber, farm, and recreational land in Craven County, NC, with approximately 1,240 feet of paved road frontage on Saints Delight Church Road. It includes about 23 acres of open farm field and about 72 acres of woods, with mature pine timber and younger pine regrowth. The property sits outside the flood zone with no county zoning, just 14 minutes from downtown New Bern. Whether you're looking for hunting land, a timber investment, or a place to build in the country, this tract is worth a closer look. The property is made up of three contiguous parcels, including a vacant 0.26-acre lot at 1271 Saints Delight Church Road. It has approximately 1,240 feet of frontage on Saints Delight Church Road, a paved, state-maintained road, which makes for easy access. It's a quiet, rural setting only 14 minutes from downtown New Bern, so shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are still close by. About 23 acres are open farm field, currently planted in soybeans that looked really good when I walked it, which is a good sign of productive farmland. The rest of the property is wooded, including a stand of mature pine timber and dense stands of pine regrowth about 18 to 19 years old, and the timber conveys with the sale. Wildlife sign is everywhere you look, with multiple deer rubs and scrapes, game trails running all throughout, and deer tracks just about everywhere. Two box blinds overlooking the main field convey with the property, and none are in the timber yet, so there's plenty of room to expand the hunting side of this property. The soils are mainly Deloss and Tomotley. About 8 acres of better-drained Goldsboro loamy sand sit in the northeast portion of the woods, and that area looks like the most likely spot for a homesite and septic system. No perc test has been done, so buyers should verify soils and septic suitability with the county. The whole property lies in FEMA flood zone X, and the county has no zoning on it. Power appears to be available along Saints Delight Church Road, but buyers should confirm availability and connection requirements with the appropriate providers. Whether you're looking for a hunting property, a timber investment, or room to build a home in the country, this 96± acre tract in Craven County has a little bit of everything.
