Property Description
This 106-acre property on Shortcut Road in Gold Hill, North Carolina offers an excellent combination of recreational land, hunting land, timberland, existing improvements, and private rural living. Located in Cabarrus County, this tract is well suited for buyers searching for acreage with deer hunting, trails, mature hardwoods, planted pines, year-round water, and an existing home site with power and other utilities already in place.
The land features a strong mix of timber and habitat. Roughly half of the property is planted pines in various stages of growth, offering future timber potential, bedding cover, wildlife habitat, and land management opportunities. The remaining acreage is mature open hardwood forest that has not been cut in many decades. This older hardwood timber creates a beautiful natural setting with shaded woods, mast-producing trees, and excellent wildlife appeal.
This is a true outdoorsman’s property. Deer are abundant throughout the tract, and the mix of hardwoods, pines, cover, water, and interior access creates strong hunting and recreational potential. A stream runs through the center of the property, with another stream near the back of the tract, providing year-round water sources for wildlife and adding to the natural character of the land.
Interior trails have already been cut into the property, allowing access to most areas of the acreage. These trails are ideal for hunting access, ATV riding, UTV riding, trail walking, property maintenance, and general recreation. The established driveway provides convenient access into the property from Shortcut Road.
An older home is located on the property and is still livable as it is. The property also includes a functional septic system, existing well, several outbuildings, and two carports. These improvements provide a valuable head start for immediate use as a weekend retreat, hunting camp, rural residence, homestead, or base for future improvements.
