39.25± Acres | Premier Estate Development Opportunity | Orange County, NC. An exceptional opportunity to acquire approximately 39.25 contiguous acres in one of Orange County's most desirable growth corridors. Combining development flexibility, natural beauty, and long-term investment potential, this remarkable property is ideally suited for a custom home builder, boutique developer, private family compound, equestrian estate, or luxury estate community. Approximately 28 acres of mature timber offer the potential for income through a selective timber harvest, helping offset future development costs while preserving the property's natural character. The remaining 11.75± acres of open meadow provide an outstanding setting for premium homesites, community green space, equestrian facilities, or a dramatic entrance.
