About this home

2.23 deeded acres on the curve of Forest Ridge Dr, the largest lot on the street. A previous home was on the site and has since been removed, so a well and septic system are in place, verified by Gaston County septic permit IP 17507; the condition of the well and septic is unknown. A driveway base is already on the property, and underground electrical service is installed in Forest Ridge. Zoned R-2 (Gaston County), which allows manufactured double-wide homes. The lot is about half 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.
