    What's special

    Gently rolling terrainPeaceful secluded settingExtensive internal road systemWell-established trail networkLarge contiguous tract
    Nestled in the foothills of North Carolina, this exceptional 118± acre recreational farm in Burke County offers a rare opportunity to own a large, contiguous tract with diverse natural features and endless potential. Conveniently located just off Piney Mountain Road, the property combines accessibility with the privacy and seclusion buyers seek in a recreational property. Comprising five parcels being offered as one, the land features an extensive internal road system that allows for easy exploration across the entire property. Whether on foot, ATV or car, you’ll appreciate the well-established trail network that winds through gently rolling terrain, making every corner of this tract accessible and enjoyable. Water is a defining feature here. Multiple creeks, streams, and natural springs are scattered throughout, with the centerpiece being White Mill Creek—a year-round flowing creek that runs through the heart of the property. These water sources not only enhance the beauty of the land but also provide excellent habitat for wildlife and potential agricultural uses. Several open and tillable fields are already in place, offering ideal locations for farming, food plots, or future homesteading projects. The trees range from 15 years old to merchantable timber and provide a healthy mix of cover and long-term investment potential. This property is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters alike, with abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, and black bear. The combination of water, cover, and open ground creates an ideal environment for sustaining game populations. Additionally there are two caves on the property adding another unique feature. Adding to its unique character, the property features an old homestead dating back to 1880. The structure still stands, showcasing a stone fireplace and metal roof, and while it requires significant restoration, it offers a glimpse into the past and potential for a meaningful renovation project. A current survey is available, and the seller is willing to offer seller financing. Despite its peaceful, secluded setting, the property is conveniently located within a short drive of Hickory, Morganton, and Blowing Rock, giving you access to shopping, dining, and mountain recreation. Whether you’re looking for a private hunting retreat, a family compound, a homestead, or a recreational getaway, this versatile tract checks all the boxes. Properties of this size and character are increasingly hard to find—this is truly a must-see
