About this home

Located in the quiet countryside of Chowan County just outside the small farming community of Tyner, this 72-acre property on Icaria Road offers a rare mix of farmland/pastureland (planted in Bermuda Hay), timber, wildlife habitat, and water access. The land sits in a well-known outdoor region near the Chowan River, with the back of the property bordering a swamp along Indian Creek that eventually feeds into the river system. This setting creates excellent habitat for waterfowl, deer, turkey, and other wildlife that thrive in the farm and swamp environment of northeastern North Carolina. Approximately 36 acres of open tillable pastureland sit toward the front portion of the property. These fields are level and easy to work, making them ideal for farming, food plots, pasture, or building a private country homesite. Being planted in Bermuda Hay it is already set up to be exceptional pastureland or used to havest hay for income. The soils in this area are commonly sandy loam and silt loam soils that formed from old coastal sediments. These soils are known for being productive and workable and are widely used for crops such as corn, soybeans, and peanuts that are commonly grown throughout Chowan County. Some areas also contain somewhat poorly drained soils that help hold moisture and support healthy crop growth across the Coastal Plain. The remaining approximately 34 acres are in mature timber and swamp habitat, creating excellent cover for wildlife. The wooded section transitions into a natural swamp along Indian Creek where cypress, gum, and other wetland trees grow in the rich soils typical of creek bottoms in this region. These swamp areas often hold shallow water and thick vegetation that provide outstanding habitat for ducks and other waterfowl. The mix of nearby farmland, creek bottoms, and the nearby Chowan River system makes this property especially attractive for duck hunting, with natural travel paths for wood ducks and other migratory birds moving through the Albemarle region each season. One of the most unique features of the property is the presence of two brand new 50-foot by 100-foot red iron steel shelters and the area under the shelters has been rocked as a base for the shelters. These large structures provide immediate covered storage for farm equipment, tractors, boats, or hunting gear. Because of their size and strong construction, they could easily be enclosed to create fully finished buildings, workshops, or even potentially converted into a barndominium-style living space with the right improvements. This property offers the best of eastern North Carolina land ownership -- productive farmland, valuable timber, strong wildlife habitat, and water nearby for fishing and hunting. Whether you are looking for a private country homesite, a hunting retreat, or an investment property with multiple uses, this tract provides space, improvements, and natural beauty in one of the most desirable outdoor areas of northeastern North Carolina.
