Mount Gilead, NC 27306(Montgomery County)

This 46.13-acre tract, located in the Pekin community of Montgomery County, NC, is a prime opportunity for those seeking recreational land, timber investment, or a hunting retreat. The property lies on both sides of Lovin Hill Road, offering diverse terrain and timber characteristics. The eastern portion, approximately 20 acres, was harvested in 2014 and naturally regenerated with a mixed stand of pine and hardwood. However, due to poor survival rates, the resulting stand is comprised of planted pine and natural hardwood, creating a diverse habitat that attracts wildlife. This area also lies within a floodplain and is prone to periodic flooding during heavy rain, which may limit its suitability for development but enhances its value as a wildlife corridor. The western portion of the property features approximately 8.5 acres that were harvested in 1999 and replanted with loblolly pine, which has now reached 25 years of age. These pines are approaching a merchantable stage, offering potential for future timber revenue.

This property is an excellent choice for hunting and outdoor recreation, with a strong presence of deer and turkey. The mixture of timber stands, natural regeneration, and low-lying areas provides an ideal environment for game species, making this a great spot for avid hunters or those looking to establish food plots and wildlife management practices. While the floodplain conditions may make it less suitable for residential development, this tract is perfect for someone seeking a secluded getaway or an investment in land with future timber potential.

The surrounding area offers a rich history and outdoor appeal. The Pekin community is one of Montgomery County’s historic rural areas, known for its deep ties to agriculture and forestry. Additionally, the property is within a short drive of the Uwharrie National Forest, which provides thousands of acres for hiking, camping, and off-roading. The region’s abundant wildlife, rolling terrain, and proximity to public lands make this an attractive option for those who enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re looking for a private hunting property, a recreational retreat, or a long-term timber investment, this 46.13-acre tract offers a unique opportunity to own land in a highly desirable part of North Carolina.
