Property Description
Creekfront wooded land for sale in Orange County, NC (with a small piece in Alamance County): about 20.65 acres on a paved road between Mebane and Chapel Hill, near the Haw River village of Saxapahaw in the North Carolina Piedmont. WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE: Build a home in the country, set up a mini farm or horse property, enjoy a quiet wooded retreat with Cane Creek along one side, or hold a large piece of land in one of the most in-demand areas of the Triangle. WHAT YOU CAN PUT HERE: Most of the land is in Orange County and is zoned Agricultural Residential, with no HOA and no restrictive covenants. Orange County allows a site-built home, a modular home, or a manufactured home in this zoning (county setup standards apply). Ask the county about adding a guest house; Orange County has accessory dwelling rules. Living in an RV is only allowed on a temporary basis with county approval. The small Alamance County piece has no zoning, just county setback, creek buffer and flood rules. ANIMALS WELCOME: Farming is allowed in every Orange County zoning district, and this land is zoned for agricultural and residential use. Chickens, goats or a couple of horses fit a homestead here (check county setbacks for barns and animal buildings). GREAT FOR: A country home or small estate, a mini farm, a horse property, a creekside getaway, or a long-term land hold close to Chapel Hill and Mebane. BUILDING: The soil test and survey are pending right now, and they will be provided to whoever buys it. We make no promise about septic or a homesite until the soil report is in. The land is rolling (average slope about 10%, steeper in spots near the creek), with higher ground away from Cane Creek and a low floodplain strip along it. Plan your home on the higher ground, outside the flood zone and the creek buffers. UTILITIES: There is no public water or sewer here. You would add a private well and a septic system, which is normal for country land in this part of Orange County. Neighboring homes along the road have electric service; check with the power company about bringing it to your homesite. ACCESS: Frontage on paved, state-maintained Morrow Mill Road (roughly 450 to 600 feet; the new survey will confirm). Cane Creek forms the east line. About 27% of the land, along the creek, is in FEMA flood zone AE, and a small area (about 2%) is mapped as wetlands. Creek buffer rules apply along the water. NEARBY TOWNS: Saxapahaw 5.5 miles, Mebane 12 miles, Chapel Hill 14 miles, Graham 14 miles, Hillsborough 16 miles. AIRPORTS: Burlington-Alamance Regional (BUY) 19 miles, Raleigh-Durham International (RDU) 32 miles, Piedmont Triad International (GSO) 51 miles. THINGS TO DO: The Haw River and the Saxapahaw Rivermill shops and restaurants 5.5 miles, Tanger Outlets Mebane 12.5 miles, UNC Chapel Hill and Franklin Street 14 miles. GOOD TO KNOW: The soil test and survey are pending right now, and they will be provided to whoever buys it. About 27% of the land is in FEMA flood zone AE along Cane Creek. The land is in the farm and forest present-use tax program in both counties; if the buyer does not keep it in the program, deferred taxes (rollback) come due, and who pays is set in the contract. The neighboring lot has recorded rights over part of this land: a 50-foot private access and utility easement along the west line, a path to reach Cane Creek, and an agreement that lets part of that lot's mobile home sit over the line (that right ends if the home is removed). How to Find the Property and Property Documents are ready to review. The soil test and survey are pending right now, and they will be provided to whoever buys it.
