Property Description
If you are looking for a large tract of land with excellent potential for hunting, wildlife management, and future timber investment, take a look at this 96.86-acre property located off SR 1270 (Rooks Road) outside Gates, NC. This rural Gates County tract offers privacy, acreage, and the opportunity to shape the property to fit your goals. The timber was recently harvested, and the property has not been replanted, creating a very young cutover with natural regrowth already developing. For outdoorsmen, this stage of growth can provide excellent habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, and other wildlife by creating areas for bedding, browse, and security. The property could also be managed over time with food plots, wildlife openings, shooting lanes, and strategically maintained trails. A path runs through the property and provides access into the tract, making it easier to hunt, explore, and manage the land. For a timber investor, the young cutover provides a blank slate to establish and manage a future timber stand from the early stages of growth. Approximately 2.7 acres show soils that could potentially be suitable for a septic system, offering the possibility for a rural homesite, hunting cabin, or recreational retreat. Septic suitability should be confirmed through the appropriate county evaluation. With nearly 97 acres, this property offers plenty of room to create a private hunting tract, wildlife management property, future timber investment, or rural getaway. If you are an outdoorsman or timber investor looking for acreage in Gates County, this property is worth a look.
