AS-IS opportunity offering 2.5 acres of land with existing well and septic already in place, ideal for a buyer focused on land value and future potential. The current double-wide home is in poor condition and is best suited for removal rather than renovation. This property is being marketed for its acreage, utilities, and setting, providing a head start for those looking to build a new home or place a new manufactured home (subject to county approvals). Conveniently located near Clayton, just a short drive to Downtown Raleigh, Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), and Research Triangle Park (RTP) with Johnston County tax rates. This property offers a rare combination of space, infrastructure, and accessibility to major employment centers, dining, and travel. Buyers should plan for demolition and conduct due diligence regarding the condition and potential reuse of the existing well and septic systems. A strong option for builders, investors, or buyers seeking a spacious homesite with established infrastructure in a growing area.
