Nestled just outside historic Tarboro, North Carolina, this quiet 3.53‑acre parcel lies off the end of Lakeview Drive, accessed via a deeded easement that continues past existing lakeside residences. The land is totally wooded with mature oak and pine timber, offering both natural seclusion and potential for a stunning home site.

At the center of the property is a gently rolling hill, providing an elevated vantage point overlooking a small, private lake. From that elevated site you can command sweeping views framed by mature hardwoods and pines—ideal for siting a dwelling to take full advantage of morning light and serene water vistas. Surrounding the lake are privately owned lots with single‑family homes, yet this property retains a sense of quiet exclusivity.

Soils across the parcel reflect the characteristic Coastal Plain profile of Edgecombe County: primarily Norfolk series soils—light-colored, well‑drained fine sandy loams and sands on upland areas—and in lower spots possibly Portsmouth series soils nearer the lake, with darker, more organic-rich sandy loam. These Norfolk soils are quick‑draining and responsive to development, though they may benefit from amendments and thoughtful compaction management on building sites. Tarboro loamy sand is another nearby soil type, featuring friable loamy sand to depths over 40 inches, with very rapid drainage and coarse sand layers—ideal foundation for well‑drained home sites, but necessitating care for septic absorption trenches.

Located in Edgecombe County—the county seat is Tarboro, one of North Carolina’s oldest towns (incorporated in 1760 and county seat since 1764)—this property sits within a predominantly rural, agricultural region with a total county population of approximately 48,900 as of 2020. Rocky Mount, the largest city in the county (partly extending into Nash County), lies about 10–15 miles to the west, offering shopping, services, cultural centers, schools, and healthcare access. Tarboro itself (population ~10,700 as of 2020) offers a handsome downtown historic district, the unique Colonial-era town common, and proximity to the Tar River and its natural beauty. Nearby Princeville, founded in 1865 and incorporated in 1885 as the first all‑black town chartered in the U.S., lies just across the river.

Because the parcel is undeveloped, it will require installation of a drilled well and on‑site septic system to support a future residence. With its high, dry hilltop site, excellent drainage, and wooded buffers, this is a prime location to build a private custom home or weekend retreat immersed in nature—yet minutes from southern Edgecombe County’s small‑town charm, historic Tarboro, and regional services in Rocky Mount.

This rare offering combines the best of forested tranquility, elevated lake views, well‑draining soils, and a location that effortlessly bridges rural peace with proximity to Eastern North Carolina’s heritage and amenities.
