65.5-Acre Loblolly Pine Timber Tract with River Access Nearby
This 65.5‑acre tract off Alamac Road is a working block of Loblolly pine with immediate, tangible utility for timber investors, hunters, and buyers seeking large‑acreage privacy within easy reach of Lumberton. A straight, level site stretches back from the road with 60 feet of frontage on Alamac Road; electric and telephone are adjacent and county water is available at the property line—important infrastructure that reduces the cost and timeline for future development.
Walk the property and you'll notice the even-aged pine stand that has supported past harvests and is well suited to a targeted timber management plan. The Residential Agricultural (RA) zoning provides flexibility—timber production, agricultural uses, hunting, and potential residential sites are all allowable. The tract's level topography simplifies access and adds development optionality compared with steeper parcels in the region.
Recreation and lifestyle value are immediate: the nationally designated Lumber River lies approximately 1.5 miles away, offering fishing, kayaking and classic southeastern river experiences. Downtown Lumberton is only about four miles north for groceries, restaurants and healthcare, while the University of North Carolina at Pembroke sits roughly 17 miles to the southwest—so the property balances rural solitude with practical access to services and institutions.
Financially, county records show a low annual tax burden (2025 taxes: $298) and an assessed value of $17,900; recent sales-comparison analysis places an estimated market range between $160,000 and $190,000 with a midpoint of $175,000. Buyers should complete standard due diligence: timber appraisal to confirm merchantable volume, a wetlands/environmental review because of proximity to the Lumber River, and confirmation of development setbacks under Robeson County RA zoning.
Whether you pursue a harvest for near-term income, hold as a long-term timber investment, or subdivide and build homesites that take advantage of the river access and level ground, this Alamac Road tract is a rare, versatile acreage opportunity within minutes of Lumberton.

A factual market snapshot around Off Alamac Road.
This portion of Robeson County performs as a stable, rural land market: inventory sits near six months and average days on market hover around 90 days, indicating a generally balanced market with lower turnover than suburban neighborhoods. Recent land sales nearby range from small parcels under 6 acres to larger timber tracts—examples include a 65.5‑acre sale within the micro‑area and a 79‑acre parcel that closed in 2021. Area median sale price is roughly $150,000, and long‑term appreciation has been modest (approximately 2% year‑over‑year and about 10% over five years).
For buyers: this is a market where patience and proper due diligence pay off. Land listings typically require more time to find the right buyer, but motivated purchasers with clear plans (timber management, recreational use, or phased development) can secure value when comparable sales align with the parcel's timber and utility profile. For sellers: accurate timber appraisals, clear documentation of utility access, and addressed environmental questions (given the Lumber River proximity) will materially shorten marketing time and support asking price. Overall, the current conditions make this a reasonable time to acquire acreage at or near market valuation, provided buyers verify timber volume and wetland constraints before closing.
