Incredible opportunity to purchase this beautiful pristine wooded 130 acre tract along Buckwater Creek between Hillsborough and Durham. Possibilities include creating a large lot subdivision or equestrian community, building your dream estate, family compound, or a private preserve. Super low tax rate in place as an agricultural/forestry status - can be continued by new owner. Trees have been thinned in the past and can be harvested soon to offset your investment. Mature hardwoods, some pine forest, with rolling topography, a meandering stream, and remnants of an old homestead, this is a gorgeous property and truly a unique opportunity. Recent soil report shows great soils for septics. Pond(s) possible. Just off Pleasant Green Road near intersection with St. Mary's Rd. Across Buckwater Creek from state land and Eno River State Park. Current zoning is Orange County AR with L-ENO-PW overlay. Exempt plat entitlement could yield 12 or 13 lots. Access via public or private roads. Just 8 miles to Hillsborough and 10 miles to Duke & Durham.
