POSSIBILITIES. This area of western Wayne County and eastern Jones County is somewhat idyllic with small and large farms dotting the countryside. As a clean slate of clear-cut land, WA40 offers many possibilities. COUNTRY ESTATE: A 40-acre tract is a nice sized piece of land on which to build a home. There are no building restrictions in this area, so a mobile home is also an option. This location is in the Wayne County School District. In addition to having a home, or even camp on this site, pastureland or a tree farm can also be developed. PASTURELAND: Cattle and horse farms are numerous in this area. Forty acres offers plenty of space for farming and/or planting seasonal crops. When viewing the accompanying video, be sure to notice the beautiful pastureland in the surrounding area as examples of what could be the future for this tract. TREE FARM. WA40 has been a tree farm for more than 30 years. Because the land will be clear-cut by mid-August 2025, the timing will be just right for site prep and reforestation. The video and photos for this listing show how conducive this site is for a tree farm. Should this be the route the new owners wish to take, Walley Forestry Consultants, Inc., can assist the new owners with becoming a certified tree farm and obtaining grants to help with the costs of site prep and planting.
