About this home

Escape the noise and find your sanctuary on this stunning 29.86-acre property just outside the Asheboro city limits. Located in the peaceful hills of Randolph County, this land offers a rare chance to own a private nature preserve while still being close to town. The land is protected by a conservation easement, making it a dream come true for someone who loves the environment and wants to keep the forest beautiful forever. While the trees are protected, the easement specifically allows you to clear a one-acre homesite to build your dream house. The Property: A Natural Sanctuary This land is more than just a homesite; it is a protected forest. Under a conservation easement, the massive hardwood trees will stand for generations. The Homesite: You are permitted a one-acre area to build your custom home. Water & Rock formations: Cedar Fork Creek flows along the western boundary, and various sized boulders are scattered across the hillside. Wildlife: It is a natural home for whitetail deer and small game, perfect for quiet observation or hunting. Convenience: A utility easement ensures city water and sewer are available, and a gate at the entrance provides immediate privacy. Park-Like Atmosphere: The combination of the creek, the Boulder-strewn hillside, and the deep woods creates a peaceful feeling across the entire acreage. Local History & Small-Town Charm Asheboro was founded in 1796 and named after Governor Samuel Ashe. Once a hub for railroads and textiles, the city has transformed into a vibrant community known for its "Great Main Street." Historic Downtown: Recently added to the National Register of Historic Places, downtown offers locally owned shops, the historic Sunset Theatre (built in 1929), and Bicentennial Park. Deep Roots: Explore the Randolph County Heritage Museum or see NASCAR history at the Richard Petty Museum in nearby Randleman. https://www.asheboronc.gov/ Nearby Attractions Living here means you are minutes away from world-class destinations: North Carolina Zoo: The world's largest natural-habitat zoo is practically in your backyard. https://www.nczoo.org/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23540559517&gbraid=0AAAABBswmhzWTBP6IEd8gvtBGfPXbVlZp&gclid=CjwKCAjwhqfPBhBWEiwAZo196tNMxXx8nmuQCVSrXduiQTvjDoNh5B--BC2QH5Qfr5Yb4MjVHKrVhxoCfHIQAvD_BwE Seagrove Pottery: Known as the "Pottery Capital of the World," this historic craft community is just 20 minutes south. https://www.heartofnorthcarolina.com/things-to-do/seagrove-pottery/ Outdoor Adventure: Hike the Birkhead Mountain Wilderness in the Uwharrie National Forest or explore the Deep River State Trail. https://www.fs.usda.gov/r08/northcarolina/recreation/uwharrie-national-forest-0 Center of the State Asheboro is known as the geographic center of North Carolina, making it incredibly convenient for travel to the major cities of the Piedmont Triad: High Point: ~25 minutes (20 miles) Greensboro: ~30 minutes (27 miles) Lexington: ~35 minutes (28 miles) Winston-Salem: ~45 minutes (40 miles) Charlotte: ~1.5 hours (71 miles) Raleigh: ~1.5 hours (75 miles)
