About this home

Welcome to your opportunity to build near beautiful Lake James without the restrictions of a subdivision or HOA. This 1.4-acre lot in Nebo offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and flexibility. A homesite has already been cleared, and a 1,000-gallon septic system approved for a 3-bedroom home was installed in 2023, allowing you to get a head start on construction while still enjoying the natural surroundings and wooded privacy of the remaining acreage. Zoned R-1, this property offers a variety of residential possibilities for your future home. Located just 0.7 miles from the nearest boating marina, you'll enjoy quick access to Lake James for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Plus, you're only a short drive from Morganton's restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and everyday conveniences. Whether you're looking to build your primary residence, a weekend getaway, or an investment property, this lot offers an excellent location with the freedom of no HOA.
