About this home

If you've been searching for a private country setting where you can build your dream home and step right into hundreds of acres of public recreation, this is the one. Nestled in the quiet Bahama community of northeast Durham County, this +/-10.09-acre wooded parcel (Lot 1) offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. The land is gently sloped to flat and fully timbered with maturing planted loblolly pines — ideal for creating a private, park-like homesite. With approximately 1,250-feet of frontage along scenic Cassam Road, you have excellent flexibility in choosing where to place your home. A convenient panhandle section along the road has already been identified as an additional option for a septic drainfield, giving you maximum freedom to place your home exactly where you want for the best views, privacy, and sunlight.
