Looking for a little slice of land where you can build your dream home or just have some space to stretch out? Well, you’re in luck because this 8.9-acre property in Pitt County, NC, is back on the market! And, it’s not the seller’s fault—sometimes things just don’t work out with buyers, but that’s good news for you.
This land is just north of Grifton, which gives you the best of both worlds—close enough to town for convenience, but far enough away for a little peace and quiet. If you’re into small-town vibes, Grifton is just two miles down the road. Need to head to a bigger city? No problem. You’re just 15 miles from Kinston and 16 miles from Greenville, so whether you’re commuting to work or looking for a day out, you’ve got options.
Let’s talk about what makes this place special. First off, you’ve got 363 feet of road frontage along Marvin Taylor Road, which is super convenient. There’s already access to electricity and public water, so you won’t have to jump through hoops to get those essentials set up.
The land has been perked for a 4-bedroom home, so if you’re thinking about building a house, that’s already taken care of. (You can check out the Soil Report for more details.) There’s also a small irrigation pond on the property, which could be handy if you’re planning to do a little gardening or just want a water feature to enjoy.
Getting onto the property is easy, thanks to a 50-foot easement that comes with a gated driveway. This driveway gives you access to the land to the east of the 8.9 acres, which the new owner can use if they want. But if you prefer something more direct, you’ve got the option to build a brand-new driveway right off Marvin Taylor Road. It’s really up to you—either way, you’re covered.
One of the standout features of this property is the land itself. It’s flat, which makes it easier to build on, and it’s outside any flood zones. You won’t have to worry about soggy feet or tricky terrain. The land was used for agriculture in the past, so you’ve got nice, open spaces with mid-aged to mature timber surrounding the area. The understory is easy to walk through, making it a great spot for strolls or exploring with your family.
And if you’re someone who likes to get a little dirt under your nails, this property could be a perfect spot for some light farming or even a hobby farm. The soil is great, and there’s plenty of room to plant a garden, grow some trees, or raise a few chickens—whatever you’re into.
The property is zoned RA (Residential-Agricultural), which gives you some flexibility on how you want to use the land. Whether you’re thinking of building a home, setting up a small farm, or just holding onto the land as an investment, you’ve got options.
There are also a couple of drainage easements in place along the northern and southern boundaries of the property. These help manage any water flow and keep things dry, which is always a plus, especially if you plan to build or grow crops.
This 8.9-acre tract is priced at $84,930, which is a pretty solid deal for this much space and all the features it includes. With its convenient location, access to utilities, and build-ready status, it’s ready for someone to come in and make it their own. Whether you’re looking for a home site, a weekend getaway spot, or a place to invest for the future, this property has a lot of potential.
So, what do you think? If this sounds like the kind of place you could see yourself settling into, don’t hesitate to reach out to Rodney Finkbiner, the listing agent. He’s just a call or email away and can give you more details or set up a time for you to check it out in person. You can reach him at rodney@carolinaforestry.com or 919-906-3114.
There’s something special about owning your own piece of land—whether it’s for building, relaxing, or just knowing you’ve got a little corner of the world to call your own. And with 8.9 acres of potential just waiting for the right owner, this might just be the perfect place for you.
