About this property
If you're looking for exceptional recreational property with a unique history, look no further! Encompassing approximately 213.66 acres, this expansive property offers a rare combination of natural beauty, established trail systems, timber investment potential, and a legacy rooted in the Sandhills field trial community. A one-bedroom, one-bath cabin overlooks a picturesque pond spanning more than 3.5 acres, creating an ideal setting for weekend retreats and enjoying the outdoors. Blueberry hedges and grape trellises adjacent to the cabin add a charming touch, while an extensive network of trails winds through multiple stands of longleaf and loblolly pine at various stages of growth, including areas ready for thinning. Wild Cat Branch and Watery Branch border the southern and western edges of the property, adding to its natural appeal. The property is zoned Rural Residential and consists of two parcels being sold together. Approximately 146.07 acres are enrolled in the Present-Use Value (PUV) program; buyers should be aware that removal from the program may result in rollback taxes for which the buyer would be responsible. Beyond its recreational appeal, this property carries a special place in local history. Formerly owned by Billy and Anne Poe (also the owners of Western Auto in Rockingham), the property was home to Poe's Sandhills Kennels, where Billy's passion for bird dogs and field trial training helped produce multiple champions. For those who appreciate the tradition of bird dog training and field trials, this is an opportunity to own a property with a meaningful connection to that legacy. Conveniently located approximately 10 miles from Rockingham, 23 miles from Pinehurst, and just 8 miles from the Hoffman Field Trial Grounds, this distinctive property offers a compelling blend of privacy, recreation, timber resources, and history.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
