Description

Tucked into northeastern Gates County, this 149± acre recreational tract (Gates Co. Parcel ID 10-03782) sits at the edge of one of the Southeast's wildest landscapes. The timber was harvested in 2013, creating a dynamic mosaic of early-successional cover, young pine/hardwood regen, and wide shooting lanes that draw deer, turkey, and abundant small game. A well-laid trail system loops throughout—and it's clear and drivable—while a freshly mulched perimeter path provides a clean, unmistakable boundary...Tucked into northeastern Gates County, this 149± acre recreational tract (Gates Co. Parcel ID 10-03782) sits at the edge of one of the Southeast's wildest landscapes. The timber was harvested in 2013, creating a dynamic mosaic of early-successional cover, young pine/hardwood regen, and wide shooting lanes that draw deer, turkey, and abundant small game. A well-laid trail system loops throughout—and it's clear and drivable—while a freshly mulched perimeter path provides a clean, unmistakable boundary for easy inspection and future management. Two separate segments of public road frontage combine for roughly 1,400 feet, delivering excellent access and multiple potential entrance points. The property's northern low ground drains toward the Great Dismal Swamp, and soils typical to this Coastal Plain setting—commonly mapped here as Portsmouth, Lynchburg, Rains, Pantego, and Roanoke series— that nurtures White Oak, Red Oak, Atlantic white cedar, cypress-gum swales, and productive browse. That mix is exactly what local wildlife prefer: black bear roam this corner of the state, with whitetails, turkey, and small game thriving across edges, thickets, and openings. Waterfowl use the wetter pockets seasonally, and the cleared corridors make stand placement and access straightforward for hunters. Recreation options extend well beyond the gate. Just to the north, the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 110,000 acres of forested wetlands, laced with 40+ miles of earthen road-trails and famous for its black bear, songbirds, and the storied Dismal Swamp Canal. To the south and west, Merchants Millpond State Park showcases a 760-acre millpond surrounded by ancient cypress and tupelo—perfect for quiet paddles, fishing, and camping. From dawn trail rides to afternoon scouting and sunset sits, this tract functions as a private basecamp for year-round outdoor life.
