Recreational & Land Assets: The standing pine offers immediate micro-logging capital offset, while the creek access provides prime waterfowl hunting and kayak access near Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge.
Investment & Tax Credit Potential
North Carolina Present-Use Value (PUV) Program: Qualifying the 7–9 acres of pine timber under a forestry management plan can lower property tax assessments to agricultural/forestry production rates.
