Scotch Road
Description
The Scotch Road Tract offers a rare opportunity to own private acreage within the Sandhills State Forest & Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge. This unique property is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and timber investors, with its diverse habitat and topography providing a wealth of opportunities.
An almost 4-acre pond borders a portion of the property’s northwest boundary line, while a flowing spring-fed creek runs along the complete southwest border. The center of the tract features pines of varying age classes that slope gently toward the hardwood bottoms on both sides. The diverse habitat and topography boast a substantial whitetail and wild turkey population, with even the occasional black bear being sighted. A secure gated entrance and a well-maintained trail system provide peace of mind, allowing you to explore the property with ease.
Given its location, the future owner will have immediate access to Sandhills State Forest, which provides privacy and protection from outside influences of development or growth and endless opportunities for fishing, hunting, horseback riding, and camping. Since the 1990s, the Forestry Commission has emphasized managing wildlife habitat and restoring native longleaf pine to this 46,000-acre ecosystem. An active prescribed burning program has accomplished that, perpetuating the longleaf pine, stimulating the production of native plants that feed and support wildlife, and reducing wildfire fuel accumulation.
