The parcel is partially cleared yet has mature hardwoods remaining on most of the land making it perfect for hiking, hunting or enjoying the outdoors. The cleared area has previously been farmed, with fertile ground for agricultural opportunities. Sweeping views provide an ideal location for a your dream home, barn, pasture or farm. The property is 15 minutes from Carrboro, 20 minutes from Chapel Hill, 20 minutes from Pittsboro and 30 minutes from Moncure.
