* All offers due Saturday, Feb. 28 at 5pm. Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Bahama, this charming 1955 cottage offers the kind of setting buyers search for but rarely find. Surrounded by open acreage and overlooking a neighboring pond, the home captures breathtaking sunsets over the rolling hill behind the property -- a view you'll enjoy from the spacious back deck or your own private outdoor entertaining area. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors and a warm, inviting layout full of character and natural light. The home has been lived in and loved as a 3-bedroom residence and provides flexible space for bedrooms, office, or hobby rooms. Although the baseboard heat unit was not removed, this home now has central heat/air. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. The large carport offers covered parking and storage, while the backyard is designed for gathering and relaxing. Features include an outdoor kitchen, bar area, outdoor shower, and an expansive deck perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. The fenced yard also includes a second interior fenced section -- ideal for pets, chickens, , gardening, or a separate play area. Enjoy the privacy of country living while still being convenient to Durham and Roxboro. Whether you're hosting friends, gardening, or simply watching the sun set over the hills, this property offers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate. County records list the home as a 2-bedroom; however, the home has long functioned as a 3-bedroom and appears to have initially been built as a 3 bedroom. No septic permit on file.

RR
M/LR-B
Residential Rural District
The RR District is established to provide for agricultural activities and residential development on lots of one acre or greater and in conservation subdivisions. Commercial and industrial development is generally prohibited. This district is used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as the Rural Tier. Lands within other Tiers that have existing RR zoning are acknowledged; however, such lands may be rezoned to more intensive zoning districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The regulations of this district are designed to discourage the development of urban services and to encourage the maintenance of an open and rural character.
