Property Description

Bancroft Station Forest is an ideal recreational tract for avid hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. The property features multiple forest types situated on sandy loam soils, creating excellent wildlife habitat and a diverse landscape. In addition to recreational use, the tract offers several attractive home or cabin sites, making it well-suited for a private rural retreat.

Timber Resource

Over 80% of the tract consists of upland timbered soils, featuring three pine species:

  • 49 acres of planted lobolly pine, established in 2000
  • 26 acres of planted longleaf pine, established in 1999
  • 4 acres of planted slash pine, established in 2012

The property also includes a 1-acre food plot, with the remaining 20 acres comprised of natural pine and hardwood timber. The planted loblolly pine is ready for another thinning, the planted longleaf pine has been cleaned up for pine straw harvesting, and the planted slash pine will be ready for its first thinning in approximately 2 to 3 years.
