Welcome to Shepard's Long Beach--a truly irreplaceable waterfront estate encompassing approximately 964± acres along the pristine shores of North Carolina's Albemarle Sound. Offering more than 4,600 feet of direct shoreline, this extraordinary property combines privacy, natural beauty, investment potential, and centuries of history into one remarkable offering. Located just six miles from the charming waterfront town of Edenton, one of North Carolina's most celebrated historic communities, Shepard's Long Beach enjoys the perfect balance of secluded coastal living and convenient access to fine dining, shopping, marinas, and modern amenities. Luxury waterfront homes border the eastern boundary, further underscoring the property's premier location. Accessibility is exceptional, with approximately 4,130± feet of frontage along Indian Trail Road and an additional 5,855± feet of frontage on Long Beach Road, a state-maintained gravel road. According to the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the property also includes approximately 99.26 acres of productive farmland, offering opportunities for agricultural income while enhancing the estate's diversity and long-term investment appeal. The farmland is comprised primarily of highly regarded Perquimans silt loam, Yeopim loam, and Dogue fine sandy loam. Soil types that have long supported productive agriculture throughout North Carolina's coastal plain. With an average NCCPI rating exceeding 81, the agricultural acreage demonstrates strong productivity and is well suited for continued row crop production, while complementing the property's timber investment, wildlife habitat, and long-term land value. The landscape itself is remarkably diverse, featuring productive farmland, professionally managed timberlands, mature upland and bottomland hardwood forests, towering pine stands, scenic wetlands, and breathtaking waterfront vistas. The timber has been carefully stewarded through an active management program, with pine stands thinned and replanted on a rotating schedule in 1995, 2004, 2016, and 2021, demonstrating a long-term commitment to sustainable forest management while preserving the property's value for future generations. Few properties possess the versatility found at Shepard's Long Beach. Whether envisioned as a private sporting estate, an equestrian or agricultural legacy property, a multi-generational family compound, a corporate retreat, a long-term timber investment, or a thoughtfully planned waterfront development, the possibilities are as expansive as the property itself. Opportunities to acquire nearly 1,000 contiguous acres with significant Albemarle Sound frontage, extensive road frontage, productive farmland, and professionally managed timber are extraordinarily rare, making Shepard's Long Beach a legacy property that is unlikely to be duplicated. Shepard's Long Beach is a property steeped in nearly 400 years of American history. The land traces its origins to a 1627 royal grant from King Charles I of England to Sir Edward Coke, Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, making it one of the earliest documented landholdings in what would become North Carolina. Throughout the Colonial era, the property passed through the hands of prominent English families, including the Collins family of Somerset Plantation, before being acquired in the late 1800s by Thomas Harrison Shepard, son of U.S. Congressman William Biddle Shepard. Today, ownership remains with the direct descendants of these historic families. Perhaps the property's most fascinating distinction is its connection to World War II.

Located in the quiet countryside of Chowan County just outside the small farming community of Tyner, this 72-acre property on Icaria Road offers a rare mix of farmland/pastureland (planted in Bermuda Hay), timber, wildlife habitat, and water access. The land sits in a well-known outdoor region near the Chowan River, with the back of the property bordering a swamp along Indian Creek that eventually feeds into the river system. This setting creates excellent habitat for waterfowl, deer, turkey, and other wildlife that thrive in the farm and swamp environment of northeastern North Carolina. Approximately 36 acres of open tillable pastureland sit toward the front portion of the property. These fields are level and easy to work, making them ideal for farming, food plots, pasture, or building a private country homesite. Being planted in Bermuda Hay it is already set up to be exceptional pastureland or used to havest hay for income. The soils in this area are commonly sandy loam and silt loam soils that formed from old coastal sediments. These soils are known for being productive and workable and are widely used for crops such as corn, soybeans, and peanuts that are commonly grown throughout Chowan County. Some areas also contain somewhat poorly drained soils that help hold moisture and support healthy crop growth across the Coastal Plain. The remaining approximately 34 acres are in mature timber and swamp habitat, creating excellent cover for wildlife. The wooded section transitions into a natural swamp along Indian Creek where cypress, gum, and other wetland trees grow in the rich soils typical of creek bottoms in this region. These swamp areas often hold shallow water and thick vegetation that provide outstanding habitat for ducks and other waterfowl. The mix of nearby farmland, creek bottoms, and the nearby Chowan River system makes this property especially attractive for duck hunting, with natural travel paths for wood ducks and other migratory birds moving through the Albemarle region each season. One of the most unique features of the property is the presence of two brand new 50-foot by 100-foot red iron steel shelters and the area under the shelters has been rocked as a base for the shelters. These large structures provide immediate covered storage for farm equipment, tractors, boats, or hunting gear. Because of their size and strong construction, they could easily be enclosed to create fully finished buildings, workshops, or even potentially converted into a barndominium-style living space with the right improvements. This property offers the best of eastern North Carolina land ownership -- productive farmland, valuable timber, strong wildlife habitat, and water nearby for fishing and hunting. Whether you are looking for a private country homesite, a hunting retreat, or an investment property with multiple uses, this tract provides space, improvements, and natural beauty in one of the most desirable outdoor areas of northeastern North Carolina.
