1115 Wilmar Road, Vanceboro, NC 28586

Located in Craven County just outside the peaceful community of Wilmar, this 166-acre timber tract offers privacy, potential, and easy access to some of eastern North Carolina's most desirable towns. Just 7.5 miles from Vanceboro and ideally situated between Highway 43 and Highway 17, the property is less than 25 miles from Greenville, New Bern, and Washington, with Morehead City, Jacksonville, and Goldsboro all under an hour away. This property was timbered several years ago and now showcases strong regeneration with planted pines and natural growth. It's a true recreational haven. A mulched clearing along the main path provides space for a camper, travel trailer, equipment shed, or a perfect base camp to park and unload UTVs or ATVs. The main road stretches more than 1.2 miles through the interior, and over 2 additional miles of trails and boundary paths were recently added—offering great access for hunting, riding, or exploring. Its layout also lends itself to potential long-range shooting opportunities. From a hunting perspective, the land is a clean slate. The thick cover creates prime bedding for wildlife, and with surrounding agricultural fields, it's an ideal location to attract game. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear are abundant in this region. In fact, Craven County is famous for its large black bears—including the 880-pound record-breaking bear harvested near Vanceboro, one of the biggest ever recorded in the U.S. There's ample space to install food plots and establish stand sites for any wind direction. While no perk testing has been done, the potential for a hunting camp, cabin, or future homestead is wide open. Whether you're looking for recreational land, a long-term timber investment, or a secluded retreat, this property checks all the boxes with its location, access, and natural appeal.
