368 Soundside Road, Columbia

From a well-rounded aspect, this 280 acre offering is truly special and wildly unique in the marketplace. It's located in the River Neck section of Tyrrell county with 1800 feet of frontage at the western end of Soundside Road. The gated entrance to the property is 4.1 miles north of Highway 64 in Columbia North Carolina. Columbia is a small coastal river town on the Albemarle Peninsula and Highway 64 is the main transportation artery between Raleigh, 2.5 hours to the west, and the Outer Banks, 45 minutes to the east. Some other common destinations from this property would be the quaint coastal town of Edenton North Carolina at under 40 minutes and both Chesapeake Virginia and Greenville North Carolina are an hour and a 1/2. At the end of the 750 foot long driveway are 3 structures highlighted by the 1901 farmhouse that was restored by the previous owners. The configuration this cool country abode is 2 bedrooms and one full bathroom upstairs (the septic permit allows for the construction of a third bedroom). Downstairs, you'll find another full bathroom, laundry room, a boot room and a flowing living/dining/kitchen area. The current owners converted a screened-in back porch into a fully enclosed sunroom, which overlooks the 3 duck impoundments. This classic country farmhouse wouldn't be complete without a metal roof and covered front and side porches. At 2048 Sq ft, it's plenty adequate for a full-time residence in the country for a small family, or for an incredibly cool hunting camp or weekend get away. Also on the homesite is an older restored livestock barn and a newer 2 story garage/barn. Both are complete with matching barn doors and provide ample room for tractor/equipment, vehicle, boat, hunting gear and implement storage. This place is a wildlife manager's dream property. With 59 acres of farmland, multiple food plots, bottomland hardwood swamps and mature pine timberland. 33 acres of the farmland have been converted into diked waterfowl impoundments, all 3 of which are serviced by one centrally located well and electric pump. The pines are certainly merchantable but there has been no cruise performed or value established. Although there are ongoing wildlife management practices in place, the full wildlife potential here is far from realized. The current owner and his family have made countless irreplaceable memories on this property since purchasing in 2010. Since that time, the owner has experienced the joy of seeing his sons each harvest their first deer, first duck, first turkey and first bear. There are plenty more of each and it's time for the next owner and the next generation to experience this coastal North Carolina gem. This incredible property is shown by appointment only to qualified buyers. *Listing provided courtesy of the MLS.
