Land for Sale in Matthews, North Carolina
Union Rd W, Matthews, NC 28104
Discover exceptional privacy on this 2.3-acre wooded tract in the desirable Matthews area of Union County. Zoned RA-20, this raw, unimproved property offers generous road frontage and access to Union County Water, all while benefiting from lower county taxes and convenient proximity to Uptown Charlotte, shopping, and Novant Mint Hill Medical Center. A previous permit request for a 4-bedroom home was denied due to unsuitable soils for a conventional septic system. A recent soil evaluation by Thompson Environmental Consulting, Inc. confirmed severe soil limitations and found no viable septic option under current regulations. These conditions significantly impact the feasibility of residential construction requiring septic. Despite these constraints, the property may hold potential for alternative uses, such as rezoning or a non-residential application, including outdoor storage, subject to Union County Planning Department approval. Buyers seeking land for non-residential purposes or long-term investment may find unique value in this tranquil, wooded setting.
