Listed by Andrew Walters of Mossy Oak Properties Land and Farms
Situated along the edge of the renowned Hofmann Forest in Jones County, North Carolina, this exceptional 117.30-acre hunting and timberland property offers a rare combination of seclusion, established recreational infrastructure, diverse wildlife habitat, and long-term investment potential. Located at the end of White Oak River Road, the property is positioned within one of eastern North Carolina's most recognized black bear hunting landscapes. Adjoining Hofmann Forest, approximately 80,000 acres of working timberland and pocosin wetlands, this tract benefits from its location in a region historically known for its black bear population. Black bear hunting has been a longstanding recreational use of the property, with whitetail deer and wild turkey also successfully harvested over the years. Property Highlights Include: 117.30 acres of private hunting, recreational, and investment timberland. Approx. 4,415 feet of gravel road frontage along White Oak River Road. Approx. 2.5 miles of established internal roads and trails, accessible by ATV, side-by-side, and appropriately equipped off-road vehicles. Eight permanent enclosed box hunting blinds and one ladder stand. Four elevated feeding stations. Two maintained 2+/-acre fields. Approx. one-acre pond within the easternmost field. Off-grid hunting cabin with bunk-style sleeping accommodations, small kitchen area, primitive bathroom, water pump, covered front porch, and rear lean-to shelter. Managed pine timberland, thinned in March 2026. Diverse hardwood habitat, including white oak, wild cherry, maple, and other native species. No portion of the property lies within the mapped FEMA floodplain. Gated access and cellular camera monitoring. The property's combination of managed pine timberland, hardwood habitat, open fields, established hunting stands, and elevated feeding stations provides an excellent foundation for continued hunting and wildlife management. The existing improvements offer flexibility for multiple hunters and provide established locations throughout the tract. Additionally, the property offers opportunities for long-term timberland stewardship. The March 2026 pine thinning improved growing conditions for residual trees while allowing increased sunlight to reach the forest floor, encouraging grasses, forbs, shrubs, and other early successional vegetation that can provide valuable browse and cover for deer, bear, and turkey. The hardwood component, concentrated primarily within the eastern third of the property, further contributes to habitat diversity and seasonal food resources. Approximately 2.5 miles of internal roads and trails connect hunting locations, timber stands, open fields, and recreational improvements. The established network provides convenient access for hunting, property maintenance, timber management, wildlife observation, and recreational riding. An established off-grid hunting cabin serves as a functional centerpiece for the property, offering practical accommodations for extended hunting trips and weekend retreats. Features include bunk-style sleeping accommodations, a small kitchen area, primitive bathroom facilities, a water pump, covered front porch, and rear lean-to shelter. Whether envisioned as a family hunting retreat, multi-generational recreational property, or long-term timberland investment, this tract offers an established foundation that would require considerable time and investment to recreate. Its adjacency to Hofmann Forest, hunting history, managed timber resources, established trail system, permanent hunting improvements, and rustic cabin create a distinctive opportunity for buyers who value privacy, wildlife, and outdoor traditions. The property is located at the end of White Oak River Road, which transitions from a paved, state-maintained roadway to an unpaved dirt and gravel surface before reaching the property. Access is controlled by a locked gate, and cellular cameras monitor the entrance, cabin, and improvements.
