Property Description
Land opportunity featuring a 1950s cottage on a coveted Orange County road within the Chapel Hill School District with established luxury homes nearby. This property is zoned RLD-1 within the joint city/county planning jurisdiction. Owned by one family for generations, the rear cottage was rented over the years and served as a peaceful retreat for a writer inspired by the surrounding woodland views. Woods border the property to both the front and rear, creating a private, natural setting. The seller is a co-owner and has not occupied the property. Property requires substantial rehabilitation and is being sold as-is. Use caution when touring, as the storage shed has a partially collapsed roof and conditions throughout the property may present safety hazards. The property is served by a private well and septic system. An additional approximately one-half-acre parcel (Unit RR) is expected to be offered separately soon. Buyers wishing to purchase both parcels are encouraged to include both in their offer for the seller's consideration. All written offers will be thoughtfully considered. Viewings by appointment only.
