About this home
Leave the crowded towns and city congestion behind and develop a private lake community where peace, quiet, and demand for space are driving buyer decisions. This is a rare opportunity for a developer or builder to control approximately 31 acres of lake property in the established Best Lake Subdivision, with 24 platted lots remaining and the ability to fully develop and complete the community. The groundwork is already proven. Seven homes are in place, with no issues for well or septic, confirming feasibility across the property. The remaining lots provide a strong mix of lakefront, lake-view, and wooded parcels, with sizes ranging from approximately 0.88 acres up to 1.72 acres, offering flexibility for home plans, pricing strategy, and absorption. Infrastructure is largely in place, reducing upfront development risk and timelines. Power is available, roads are established with a private road and Public Roads Agreement, a paved cul-de-sac is complete, and well/septic availability is confirmed. Adding to long-term stability and value, the lake dam has recently been fully renovated. Ideally located approximately 5 miles from Clinton and about one hour from Wilmington, this project offers the rare combination of scale, water frontage, and marketable lifestyle appeal. For a builder or developer seeking to finish out an entire lake community rather than piecing together individual lots, this is a turnkey development opportunity with momentum already in place. No HOA dues at this time, but may be assessed in the future. Restrictive Covenants apply
