Located on the north side of the Cape Fear River lies the 74-acre John Owen Road Tract. This tract is located just nine miles from Elizabethtown and 30 miles from Fayetteville in the famous White Oak Community of Bladen County. The tract has a mixture of high white sandy soils in the pine plantations to the dense, peatland community at the rear of the tract. The tract contains a solid timber component with ~30 acres of planted loblolly and longleaf pine and the balance comprising a balance of bay forest intertwined with red maple, pine, oak, and loblolly bay. Pine plantation on the property is mostly contained along sandy ridges along the road frontage that is ready for its first thinning. Tract borders the Jones Lake State Park section of the 35,000-acre Bladen Lakes State Forest. Not only is the tract growing a solid stand of timber, this tract has a direct connection to the massive public land reserve that holds a healthy population of whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, and small game. Tract contains approximately 1,450 feet of road frontage along John Owen Road that could be well suited for a small development. Adjacent lands contain small homesteads, timberland, and several large agriculture operations located within the outer periphery. This tract is located right in the middle of a rural part of the county with a high population of deer, black bear, wild turkey, and lots of small game. Tract is well suited for the wildlife enthusiast with the opportunity to take a large Bladen County black bear, whitetail buck, or a long-bearded gobbler. 

This tract is ideal for the hunter looking for an excellent place to hunt a wide variety of game, but it also has an excellent opportunity to potential to erect a new home or create a small horse farm or raise some cattle.

For the outdoor enthusiast, this could be the perfect place to build your dream home or create a mini farm with hunting right out the back door!  And the mighty Cape Fear River is less than 10 miles away that is home to striped bass, largemouth bass, plenty of flatfish, and  a huge population of record-sized catfish.
