About this home

Absolutely stunning 10.45 acres with a pond, partially wooded and partially cleared. Beautifully maintained by the current owner! Amazing views with privacy if you decide to build on the back side of the lot in front of the pond. Soil tests were done previously which revealed an engineered septic system must be installed. Conventional system was not approved. Owner has not been able to locate the paperwork. High speed internet runs along the property line! Country living but convenient to Durham, Hillsborough, Research Triangle Park, Duke University, UNC Hospital and DPAC! Too many amenities to name within minutes!
