74 Acres of Timberland and Hunting Land in Bladen County
Located in the White Oak community of Bladen County, the 74-acre John Owen Road tract is a solid timberland investment and a premier recreational retreat. Situated just nine miles from Elizabethtown and 30 miles from Fayetteville, this property offers a diverse landscape ranging from high, white sandy soils to dense peatland at the rear. The timber component includes approximately 30 acres of planted loblolly and longleaf pine along the sandy ridges, which are currently ready for their first thinning. The remainder of the tract features a rich bay forest intertwined with red maple, oak, and loblolly bay.
The property directly borders the Jones Lake State Park section of the 35,000-acre Bladen Lakes State Forest. This connection to a massive public land reserve ensures a healthy and consistent population of whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, and small game. With approximately 1,450 feet of road frontage along John Owen Road, the land is also well-suited for a small residential development or a private homestead.
Whether you are looking to grow timber, chase a big Bladen County buck, or build a dream home with hunting right out the back door, this tract is ideal. It is perfectly positioned within a rural farming community, yet remains just over an hour from Wilmington. For the water enthusiast, the mighty Cape Fear River is less than 10 miles away, offering world-class fishing for striped bass, largemouth bass, and record-sized catfish.
