Each of the seven smaller tracts has an approved perk site for a four-bedroom home. This property rests in rural Chatham County and is conveniently located off major HWY US-421. Employment and shopping centers can be reached within 10-35 minutes. This land is ideal for those seeking both rural isolation and quick access to the booming Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. The land features a fast-growing three-year old pine plantation. It also offers beautiful winding creeks and mature forest, rolling hills with nature trails, and direct access to the Deep River. The history of this land dates back to the early 1700s. The history includes a family cemetery and grave site of Revolutionary War hero. There are remnants of shale and iron mines that once supported the Revolutionary War and Civil War efforts. The rare shale and iron found here was used until the early 1900s to support local industry. An abandoned railroad line that once was part of the local economy borders the property to the south. This line could become a potential candidate for the Rails-to-Trails system.
