Property Description
Whether you're looking to build your dream home, create a weekend getaway, or invest in land with long-term potential, this versatile parcel offers endless possibilities. Tucked behind a solar-powered gate and set on just over 5 private acres, this unique Pittsboro property offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking space, flexibility, and future potential. Surrounded by mature hardwoods, the setting has been thoughtfully opened over time to create a balance of wooded privacy and sunlit, usable land. The existing home is permitted for 2 bedrooms and features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with an open-concept layout filled with natural light, providing a comfortable living space or an ideal foundation while planning your next vision. Outdoor living is a standout, with an enormous wrap-around deck overlooking a pool and expansive grassy areas perfect for recreation or relaxation. Beyond the home, the property truly shines. A private pond offers irrigation potential, while a powered workshop is equipped with a professional-grade vehicle lift, ideal for car enthusiasts or those needing versatile workspace and additional parking solutions. The rear portion of the property presents a compelling opportunity for future expansion. A large, level area was previously envisioned as the site for a 4 to 5 bedroom custom home, with plans that included a bridge spanning a small creek. An estimate is available for constructing a pond dam, which would also create a 16-foot-wide access road leading to this potential homesite. Alternatively, the area can be accessed with a standard driveway without expanding the pond, offering flexibility to suit a variety of plans and preferences. Adding to the long-term appeal, high-end homes are currently being developed beyond the rear of the property, introducing a luxury presence to the surrounding area and further enhancing overall value. Whether you're looking for a private retreat, a homestead with room to grow, or a future build opportunity, this property presents exceptional possibilities in a peaceful, natural setting. No HOA!
