Clear Branch Tract is a beautiful, forested property located in the quiet rolling hills of northern Cherokee County. It lies north of I-85 near the North Carolina line, just above the town of Blacksburg. Kings Mountain can be seen to the east, looking from high points near the middle of the tract. Broad ridges are covered with young, planted pines. Mature pines mixed with hardwoods stand in patches and on slopes between the ridges. Two small branches flow through the land. The immediate neighborhood is mostly wooded tracts and hay fields with scattered houses. Turner Road is a small, paved road which serves as the western boundary of the land. Part of the road frontage is maintained by state DOT and part by the county. A plat from 1983 describes the tract as 221.39 acres and indicates more than 800 feet of road frontage. Two woods roads enter the tract from Turner Road. Multiple building sites can be found on gentle terrain near the road frontage or further into the tract. Soil map for septic drain field potential looks favorable in these areas. A powerline serves a home directly across Turner Road. The closest homes to the north have pubic water and the local water company has indicated this property could be served by that water line. No public sewer service is available. Two nearby homes are within view of the property along Turner Road. The land is all forested except for woods roads and a few small openings formerly used as log loading decks. Soils are mostly sandy loam or clay loam and are productive for timber, wildlife openings, and fields where slopes allow. More than 100 acres are covered in loblolly pine now 3 or 4 years old. These trees are healthy and growing fast. Mature pines, about 38 years old, dominate the southern part of the land covering about 45 acres. Slopes become steeper in places as you move further into the tract. Mature pines mixed with hardwoods stand on about 55 acres of steeper slopes and low areas around the creek branches. These areas are dominated by loblolly pine, yellow poplar, and American beech. White oaks and red oaks are also common. The town of Gaffney is a 10 to 15-minute drive away and offers restaurants, doctors, churches, and stores including Tractor Supply, Lowes, and Ingles Grocery.
