Listed by COALY REALTY LLC**Rare 5-Acre Opportunity: Land Value, Endless Potential, No Restrictions** Escape the ordinary without leaving convenience behind. Tucked away on nearly 5 private acres, this rustic ranch delivers the feel of a mountain retreat while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, and major corridors. This is a land-first opportunity. The property has been unoccupied for the past five years and is being sold as-is, offering buyers the rare chance to either renovate the existing home to their vision or start fresh on an exceptional parcel with no HOA, no city taxes, and no deed restrictions limiting your plans. The home itself offers a strong foundation to build upon. An expansive 1,800 SF unfinished basement, already roughed in for a full bath, provides significant upside for a bonus room, additional garage space, or an entirely separate living area. A massive barn with a dedicated workshop rounds out the property, and nature lovers will appreciate the direct border access to the American Tobacco Trail. Whether you're an investor, a renovator, or a buyer seeking land with room to grow and build equity, this property checks every box. Opportunities like this, unrestricted acreage with this much upside, rarely come to market at this price point.
