Fantastic Lake Gaston development / investment opportunity!
Properties of this size just never come available adjacent to Lake Gaston. One of the last remaining undeveloped large parcels of land in the area. Well suited for residential development, the land is gently rolling, primarily upland land with small intermittent creek drainages, no wetlands. Soils appear to be suitable for septic, no testing has been done. Public water, phone and internet are all available. Extensive frontage on River Road, the primary east-west travel corridor north of Lake Gaston, offers approximately 3,100 feet of frontage and the opportunity for commercial use: boat storage, retail, service industry. Property has no direct frontage on the lake, but adjoining Edwards Beach offers daily public lake access. Edwards Beach Road, a paved public road approximately 4,000 feet long, bisects the property and is well located to assist in the development of the property for residential use.
Loblolly Pine stand was planted in 2017 and had a pre-commercial thinning on 95 acres in 2025. A second PCT thinning on 59 acres is planned and approved to complete that operation. This work will open up the stands to promote faster growth and make it easier to move through the property. The main benefit is increasing the growth rate of the trees and speeding up future timber income for the owner. The trees are mostly sapling to pulpwood size with outstanding growth rate. Excellent logging conditions and geographical location related to timber markets will help produce a premium for all timber sales. Abundant wildlife including deer, turkey and small game are available.
