15 Rainbow Road

Featuring approximately 325 +/- feet of road frontage on Highway 561 and 564 +/- feet of road frontage on Rainbow Road, this affordable Halifax County property offers excellent recreational opportunities, long-term timber investment potential, and easy access in a desirable rural setting. Located at the corner of Highway 561 and Rainbow Road in Halifax County, NC, this 14.16-acre tract is conveniently situated just minutes from Halifax, Tillery, Scotland Neck, and Rich Square, making it an ideal weekend getaway or affordable investment property. The property is entirely wooded and consists of a naturally regenerated stand of timber that was harvested approximately 4-5 years ago. As the timber continues to mature, it provides outstanding wildlife habitat while offering long-term investment potential. The young growth creates excellent bedding and cover for whitetail deer, while the surrounding agricultural fields provide an abundant food source that helps attract and hold wildlife throughout the year. Adding to the property's character are two older structures located near the road frontage. These consist of what appears to be an old barn and a former homesite. Both structures are currently in disrepair and are no longer considered habitable, but they serve as a reminder of the property's history and could provide opportunities for future cleanup or redevelopment. The soils consist primarily of Dorian silt loam (approximately 85%), with smaller areas of Chewacla and Wehadkee soils (10%) and Warne silt loam (4%). The predominance of Dorian soils reflects the property's gently sloping landscape, while the smaller areas of bottomland soils contribute to excellent wildlife habitat. Halifax County has long been recognized as one of eastern North Carolina's premier destinations for whitetail deer and wild turkey hunting, and this tract offers everything needed to establish a quality recreational property. There is ample room to create ATV and side-by-side trails, shooting lanes, strategically placed food plots, and hunting blinds throughout the property, allowing the next owner to develop it into an outstanding hunting retreat. Whether you're searching for an affordable recreational property, an entry-level timber investment, or a private place to enjoy hunting, camping, trail riding, and the outdoors, this tract checks all the boxes. For buyers looking to expand their investment, an additional 24.45 +/- acres is available directly across Highway 561. That property features approximately 12 acres of productive farmland and 12.45 acres of naturally regenerated timberland that was harvested around the same time as this tract. Together, the two properties provide nearly 40 acres of diverse farmland, timberland, recreational opportunities, and investment potential.
