The property’s street address is 216 Shocco Springs Rd, Warrenton, NC 27589. The property, known as the former South Warren Elementary School, is believed to consist of one parcel totaling approximately 15 acres of land, including all buildings and parking lots. The property is being sold “AS IS” with no representation from Warren County Schools regarding the exact acreage or condition of the property. Please contact Dr. Dennis Carrington, Chief Operations Officer, at 252-257-3184 or dcarrington@warrenk12nc.org for additional information regarding the property.
The offer to purchase is in the amount of Three Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($340,000), and the purchaser must pay for the preparation of the deed and any closing costs. Notice is hereby given that prior to February 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM, any person may raise the bid by not less than ten percent (10%) of the first one thousand dollars ($100) and five percent (5%) of the remainder ($16,950). Therefore, the lowest acceptable upset bid is Three Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand and Fifty Dollars ($357,050.00).

When a bid is raised, the bidder shall deposit with Mrs. Dywanda Pettaway, Board Clerk for the Warren County Board of Education, five percent (5%) of the total increased bid in cash or certified funds, and Warren County Schools shall re-advertise the offer at the increased bid. This procedure shall be repeated until no further qualifying upset bids are received, at which time the Board may accept the offer and sell the property to the highest bidder. The property is being sold “as is” and will be conveyed by Special Warranty Deed. The Board reserves the right to reject any and all offers at any time. This the 5th day of February, 2025.
