Land for Sale in Carthage, North Carolina

Located in the northern portion of Moore County, NC, this exceptional ±101.7-acre timberland tract offers a unique opportunity for investors, outdoor enthusiasts, and buyers seeking a private rural retreat within close proximity to some of central North Carolina’s fastest growing areas. Situated along Wadsworth Road approximately 5.5 miles northeast of Carthage, NC, the property is conveniently located just 18 miles from Sanford, NC, and approximately 60 miles from Raleigh, NC, allowing for easy access while still offering the peace and privacy of the countryside. With approximately 930 feet of road frontage along Wadsworth Road and zoning designated as RA by Moore County, this tract provides potential for a variety of future uses including timber investment, recreational enjoyment, or possible rural homesites subject to soil evaluation and perc testing.

The property is well suited for long-term timberland investment and showcases a professionally managed stand of loblolly pine that was planted in 2007. According to the stand map, approximately 79.0 acres consist of loblolly pine plantations that have already been thinned and fertilized, helping position the timber for continued healthy growth and future income potential. In addition to the pine component, the tract also contains approximately 19.5 acres of mixed hardwood timber along stream corridors and lower lying areas, adding diversity, wildlife habitat, and scenic beauty to the property. An additional 3.2 acres are classified as non-forest areas associated with roads, openings, and access features.

A strong internal road and trail system provides excellent accessibility throughout much of the property, making it easy to navigate for forest management activities, hunting, recreational use, or future property improvements. Multiple streams traverse portions of the tract, creating attractive natural features while enhancing wildlife habitat for deer, turkey, and other native species commonly found throughout Moore County. The combination of managed pine timber, hardwood drains, water features, and internal access makes this tract highly appealing for both recreational and investment-minded buyers.

Moore County continues to experience steady growth due to its desirable location between the Raleigh metropolitan area and the Sandhills region. The nearby communities of Carthage, Sanford, Southern Pines, and Pinehurst continue to attract buyers seeking rural land opportunities with convenient access to employment centers, healthcare, shopping, and recreation. Properties of this size and quality with professionally managed timber stands, road frontage, and future homesite potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find in this region of North Carolina.

Whether you are searching for a long-term timberland investment, a recreational retreat, a hunting property, or a future rural homesite opportunity, this Wadsworth Road tract presents an outstanding opportunity to own a diverse and well-managed piece of Moore County land.
