Property Description
This 24.7± acre tract, located in southern Person County, offers a combination of rural land, recreational opportunities, and convenient access to nearby towns and amenities. The property sits approximately 5 minutes from the city of Roxboro and about 24 miles from Durham, providing a balance between a rural setting and access to employment, services, and entertainment. The land features a gradual topography that may provide several potential homesite locations depending on a buyer's plans and site evaluation. The terrain allows for flexibility in how the property could be used, including residential construction, recreational use, or a combination of both. The acreage offers room for outdoor activities while maintaining proximity to surrounding communities. The property includes areas of marketable timber that may provide future income opportunities. Timber resources can be evaluated and managed over time according to the goals of a future owner. The wooded acreage also contributes to the overall privacy and natural character of the land. For those interested in outdoor recreation, the property offers habitat that may support wildlife commonly found in this region of North Carolina. The wooded landscape and surrounding rural area may provide opportunities for activities such as hunting, wildlife observation, and general outdoor recreation. In addition to its recreational characteristics, the location of this tract allows convenient travel to nearby communities. Roxboro serves as the county seat of Person County and offers grocery stores, restaurants, retail services, and other everyday amenities. The property is also located within driving distance of Durham, a larger regional employment and cultural center that offers additional dining, medical services, entertainment venues, and transportation options. Travel access is further supported by the nearby Person County Airport, which provides general aviation services for the region. Its proximity may offer convenience for aviation users or visiting travelers. The acreage provides space for a variety of land uses depending on buyer preference, local regulations, and site evaluations. Potential uses may include residential construction, recreational land ownership, wildlife habitat management, or long-term land investment. Properties of this size in southern Person County are limited, particularly those located within a short drive of both Roxboro and the Durham area. Buyers seeking a tract with both recreational features and access to nearby communities may find this property suitable for a range of rural land ownership goals.
