Set upon on a hilltop along a designated NC scenic byway, this South Lowell Rd property offers picturesque views of the northern Durham county countryside. The 4BR, 2 1/2 bath brick ranch home is surrounded by 48.5 acres of rolling pasture land and was once a working beef cattle farm. The over 3,000 square foot mid-century modern home offers an open floor plan for everyday family living. An in-ground pool offers a cool, relaxing setting on hot summer days. The east facing, enclosed front porch is perfect for enjoying an early morning sunrise. Also located on the property is a quaint two-story "barndiminium" with comfortable living space within. Zoned Rural Residential, this property offers the rare opportunity for space and privacy. Several outbuildings and two ponds are also located on the former farm. Approximately 20 minutes to downtown Durham and Duke University medical center and approximately 30 minutes to RDU.

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.
