This brick single family home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths is sitting in the middle of a beautiful cleared 30-acre farm less than half an hour from Wilmington, and only 10 minutes from Burgaw. If it's quiet country living that you're looking for, this is it! All farmland is currently leased, and there is even a leased mobile home lot on the property as well. New owner can continue the leases, or terminate them as soon as crops are harvested. This is a beautiful piece of property with more than 750 feet of road frontage, so don't delay in taking a look! A new survey is suggested since Pender County GIS calculates the land at 28.77 acres, but there are 31 deeded acres. Continue its use as a farm, convert it to pasture land for horses, or even develop the land for more housing. The choice is up to you!
