Roughly 22.5± acres of historically farmed cropland have been used for wheat, corn, and soybeans, providing a strong foundation for continued agricultural production or integration into a homestead operation. Historically used to grow wheat, corn, and soybeans, the farm is registered with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and offers potential income opportunity for the new owner. FSA records are pending to determine if any crops are currently planted and whether future harvest obligations exist, giving buyers a clear picture of the property’s farming potential. While the previous lease has been formally terminated, the property’s strong production history makes it well-suited for future leasing or owner-operated farming.  

A centerpiece to the property - two large freshwater ponds, totaling just over an acre, are connected by a trail system and provide wildlife habitat, fishing opportunities, and potential water for livestock, adding both functionality and scenic value. A small family cemetery shaded by timber sits between the ponds, adding a unique historical touch. Buyers should note that access to the pond area may require a small crossing over a natural drainage feature, allowing full use of this special portion of the property. 

Approximately 25± acres of mixed timber border the cropland and ponds, providing natural cover for deer, turkey, and other wildlife, enhancing recreational and hunting opportunities while offering privacy and visual appeal. Preliminary soils analysis identifies areas of well-drained Lynchburg sandy loam and Goldsboro loamy sand that may be suitable for a homesite, though no perc test has been conducted; buyers should confirm septic and building feasibility with local authorities.  

Powerlines along the back portion of the property, owned by Lumbee River EMC, provide convenient access to electricity for potential homesites or farm operations, with easement verification recommended through the utility. No portion of the property lies within a FEMA flood zone, providing peace of mind for farming, homesteading, or development.  

Whether your vision is productive farmland, a homestead, or a private country retreat, this 49± acre property offers versatility, privacy, and convenience. Its combination of cropland, ponds, timber, wildlife habitat, and potential homesite makes it a rare find near Lumberton, NC, where you can enjoy the tranquility of rural life while staying close to city amenities and major transportation routes.
