Description
Discover this once in a lifetime opportunity to own an exclusive 232 +/- acre tract that shares two common boundaries with Hanging Rock State Park located in Danbury, NC. The Taylor Lake tract has been preserved for generations and is now being offered to the market for the first time as a contiguous block of timberland with multiple exceptional features.
Accessible from multiple locations, the Taylor Lake tract offers a unique opportunity not found in most properties due to it being accessible from virtually all sides. The property has substantial frontage along Hwy 8 and Hanging Rock Park Rd which are both state maintained roads. There is secondary frontage on the eastern side from Hanging Rock Forest and via multiple locations in the Hanging Rock Forest subdivision.
From the access along Hanging Rock Park Rd, you make a gradual decent into the property crossing Taylor Lake dam. From here the old farm road traverses into the property and leads to a high ridge that runs through the center overlooking the tract. Along this high ridge its is evident that this area was once a farm field that encompassed the entire backbone of the property and could be easily converted back to create a beautiful homesite location.
The property offers a very diverse environment, with a topography ranging from 800’ along Hwy 8 to 1600’ as it adjoins the state park. Through this diversity you will find a good mixture of Oak, Poplar, Maple, and many areas of the forest floor being lined with native Laurel. There are two bolds streams that traverse through the tract with multiple secondary springs along the way. The first stream starts within the Park and enters the mouth of Taylor Lake then wraps the property on the western boundary. The second stream enters just off the property from the east and runs along the projected eastern boundary with endless ledges and small falls creating a tranquil setting along the Creekside.
The Taylor Lake Tract is being offered with some flexibility in the projected boundaries and there is additional land that could be added on the east to increase the total acreage footprint if desired.
