Tbd Upright Road, Mt Ulla, NC

Big Oak Tree Farm represents a significant landholding in Mt. Ulla, defined by 201.83 acres of diverse topography and the namesake presence of a white oak estimated to be nearly two and a half centuries old. The estate is anchored by a mile-long stretch of Sills Creek, which bisects a landscape of hardwood ridges and tillable acreage currently managed by local agricultural interests. The property serves as a sophisticated recreational retreat, where intentional land management—including the cultivation of specific cover grasses and food sources—has optimized the terrain for the regional wildlife. In a submarket where large, contiguous parcels are increasingly fragmented, this Rowan County acquisition offers a rare scale of privacy and ecological continuity. The environment is further enhanced by maintained rights of way that integrate seamlessly into the broader forest management plan, providing clear vistas across the expansive acreage. Private consultations and viewings are arranged through Peters & Associates.

About the home

Welcome to Big Oak Tree Farm, a beautiful recreational property designed for the outdoorsman who loves the peace and quiet of the North Carolina countryside! This luxurious offering provides a back to nature escape with true rustic elegance and a lodge-like feel!

Several food sources and cover grasses have been planted to benefit the wildlife in the area and improve the hunting opportunities! The name “Big Oak Tree Farm” comes from the enormous and historic oak tree located near the home. It is considered by a local arborist to quite possibly be the largest oak tree in Rowan county! According to the arborist, the tree is estimated to be between 225 and 250 years of age! The owner has went to great lengths to protect this giant of a tree by running a lightning rod from the tip of the tree down its major arteries and branches and into the ground to keep it from being destroyed by a lightning storm. There are two easements across the property. One is a power line easement and the other is a gas line easement. Both provide great areas for multiple food plots and tillable ground for crops. This land has been cultivated by the owner into a prime hunting and recreational property! With a good mix of timber and open spaces, there are plenty of dialed-in food plots and fields planted in corn and soybeans equipped with Redneck hunting blinds and Family Traditions ladder tree stands! With a side by side or ATV you can use one of the many trails to reach any section of the property to hunt! There are even some great hunting blinds within a minute’s walk from the house! Several good whitetail bucks and long beard turkeys have been harvested on the farm along with other small game animals! Sills Creek runs through the property and provides a great water source and cover for wildlife with the thickets and timber along it’s banks. Located in the heart of the property is a timbered creek bottom that has some great duck hunting potential! This offering also provides plenty of groomed trails for horseback riding! All total, there are approximately 45+/- acres of food plots and planted tillable acreage that have been consistently planted and maintained by the current owner and a local farmer. A mix of summer and fall food plot blends along with corn and soybeans have been the main source of food for wildlife on the property.
