FARMHOUSE DREAMS! RARE OPPORTUNITY! APPROXIMATELY 16.9 ACRES, FIVE PARCELS & OVER 1,000 FEET OF ROAD FRONTAGE! Discover the possibilities at 1870 McCormick Road in Sanford, NC! Offering a unique combination of privacy, productive agricultural land, existing improvements, and extensive road frontage, this fully fenced property presents an exceptional opportunity for a private country estate, equestrian retreat, family compound, working farm, or future homesites. The property features established fields of sericea lespedeza, previously harvested, baled, and sold to local sheep and goat farms. Valued as a forage crop, sericea lespedeza adds agricultural versatility and potential for continued agricultural production. Per seller, no chemical herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers have been applied to the fields during their ownership. These productive pastures reflect thoughtful land stewardship and offer opportunities for continued agricultural use. Recently subdivided into five parcels, the property features existing infrastructure including a well, two city water taps, two electrical service drops, an RV hookup, installed fiber internet, and two existing septic systems, one reportedly newer and another not currently in use. A barn and an unfinished farmhouse dating to approximately 1919 add character and possibilities. The farmhouse features updated framing, new windows, and siding but remains unfinished. A preliminary soil evaluation indicates potential for four bedroom homesites on each parcel, subject to additional evaluations, permitting, and approvals. With over 1,000 feet of road frontage, established agricultural fields, multiple parcels, and NO HOA, this property offers an extraordinary opportunity to bring your vision to life! All five parcels offered together, with additional purchasing configurations available. Buyer to verify acreage, road frontage, utilities, septic suitability, agricultural uses, and intended development potential. Contact Alicia Hite
