About this home
NEW IMPROVED PRICE! Nestled in the quiet countryside just outside Smithfield, this beautiful 12.4+ acre tract offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and highly usable land. Bordered on three sides by flowing creek water and protected by a 50-foot riparian buffer, the property enjoys a peaceful, retreat-like setting with a natural curtain of privacy year-round. Approximately 4.5 acres are cleared and currently in agricultural use, featuring light sandy soils with a proven history of producing peanuts, hay, and other field crops. The remaining acreage is rich with mixed hardwoods, muscadine vines, and abundant wildlife. Multiple outstanding homesites are available throughout the property, whether you envision a custom home overlooking the open fields or a secluded retreat tucked deep within the mature hardwood forest beneath towering old-growth sycamores. Despite its quiet, secluded feel, the property offers convenient access to Princeton, Pine Level, and Smithfield via a lightly traveled road that has been recently improved. With 673 feet of road frontage, no HOA, and no restrictive covenants beyond a prohibition on manufactured homes, this property offers exceptional freedom for your dream home, hobby farm, horses, gardens, or recreational escape. A rare opportunity to own scenic creekfront acreage with productive farmland, mature timber, and several exceptional building sites in peaceful Johnston County.
