Located in the scenic countryside of northern Stokes County, this 88.4-acre property offers a rare combination of productive agricultural land, mature timber, hunting opportunities and development potential. Situated just outside the town of Sandy Ridge and fronting over 1,600 feet along NC Highway 704, the tract provides easy access to surrounding towns, including Walnut Cove (25 minutes), Danbury (15 minutes), Winston-Salem (45 minutes), and Greensboro (just over 1 hour).
Approximately 17 acres of rolling, tillable ground is currently planted in a soybean and tobacco rotation under an existing farm lease. These open fields not only produce annual income through rent but also serve as quality habitat for wildlife. The remainder of the property is made up of mature hardwood forest and planted pine stands. The pines are of merchantable age and may be selectively thinned for immediate timber value, while the hardwoods contain mature species such as white oak, red oak and chestnut oak - supporting both long-term timber value and native wildlife.
This property has strong potential for whitetail deer and turkey hunting. With internal ag fields bordered by wooded cover, the layout supports wildlife travel corridors, bedding and feeding areas. Evidence of deer activity - including trails, rubs, scrapes and feeding - has been observed, especially in the southern portion of the farm. The layout provides ideal setups for stand locations with prevailing wind advantage and southern access sets up well for fall and winter hunts. Wild turkeys also use the fields and hardwood ridges, with visible tracks and scratching noted during scouting.
From a development or estate-building perspective, the favorable terrain offers multiple potential building sites. The gentle topography allows for infrastructure expansion and may support the construction of a pond or small lake. Utilities are nearby and the expansive road frontage provides easy ingress and egress for construction or subdivision, subject to county zoning and permitting.
This tract is also enrolled in the North Carolina forestry use deferment program, which helps lower property taxes. Whether you're looking to build a private residence, develop a recreational retreat, lease farmland, invest in timber or explore potential business uses like AirBnB or event venues, this property presents multiple options.
With its location near the Virginia state line and convenient access to larger cities, the land holds strong appreciation potential. It's rare to find a property offering this balance of open ground, mature woods, income production and recreational opportunity.
