833 River Point, Moncure, Chatham

Own a Part of Local History with this 39+/- Acre Farm known as "Mermaid's Point". *According to Local Legend, in the 1700's Revolutionary War Soldiers would visit Ramsey's Tavern in Modern Day Moncure. After having a Few Beverages, the Soldiers would Walk the River and claim to see Mermaids Washing their Hair on the Sandbars in the River. While this Legend could easily be discounted as local stories and Folklore, the Origin of the Legend is nearly as Fascinating as the Mermaids Themselves. According to Oral Tradition, Soldiers Believed the Mermaids Traveled up the Cape Fear in Order to Wash Seawater from their Beautiful, Long Hair. It's also Possible the War and British Occupancy along the Coastal Wilmington could have Scared some of the Mermaids Upstream. Sadly, Mermaid's Point was eventually Flooded, leaving the Mermaids nowhere to sit above the Waters. Ramsey's Tavern met a similar fate in the early 1900's, and the Mermaid Legend Vanished from History. Today you can enjoy the Open Fields and Pastures and Walk down a Trail to the Haw River. The Haw meets with the Deep River on the Adjacent Tract to Forms the Mighty Cape Fear (See Map)! Enjoy the Wooded Privacy or just Relax while Fishing the Local Rivers for Catfish or Other Species.
