About 0.69 acre homesite in the Forest Ridge subdivision (Lot 9) on paved, state-maintained Forest Ridge Dr (NCDOT SR-1735). A nice wooded lot with underground power in the subdivision. Zoned R-2 by Gaston County, which allows site-built, modular and double-wide manufactured homes; single-wide homes are not allowed. No well or septic is in place yet; the recorded Forest Ridge plat notes the subdivision as generally suitable for at least a two-bedroom septic system, subject to the county permit for this lot. The lot is about a third of a mile from the proposed Carolina Lithium mine.

R-2
Single-Family Moderate
The purpose of this district is to accommodate single-family site built and modular construction and double-wide manufactured home placement. The minimum lot size allowed in this district will be dependent on the provision of public or community water and sewer facilities. Although areas may be served with such utilities, most of these areas are located beyond existing or anticipated utility service coverage areas. The minimum lot size for residential uses in this district is therefore larger than in other residential zoning districts.
