Builder considering a new design and will come back to the market at that time. This spectacular North-Eastern facing lot is your dream come true, a short walk to the American Tobacco Trail with no Restrictive Covenants. Enjoy a gently upward sloping front entrance driveway with a flat rear yard ideal for fencing. Builder intends to keep the Red & Willow Oaks on the Western side of the lot, & depending upon your plan changes, if any, Builder will do his best to design around the Willow Oak in the front. This lot is zoned RS-20, permitting a combination of a Single Family Detached Residence with a Single Family Detached or a Duplex Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in the rear, or a Duplex in the front with a Single Family Detached dwelling as an ADU in the rear. Otherwise, you are are limited only by your vision. We're excited about the custom designed plan he have had engineered, but come walk the lot with us and let us capture your vision for making this site, your home.
Hope Valley Farms, located between NC-751 (Hope Valley Road) and Fayetteville Road, is a suburban and golf-adjacent Durham neighborhood with curving cul-de-sacs and wooded buffers. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hope Valley Road and Fayetteville Road corridor, where errands and meetups cluster near local plazas and café patios. Nearby, The Streets at Southpoint sets the tone for shopping and dining, while AMC DINE-IN Southpoint 17 anchors movie nights. Streets are lined with late-20th-century brick colonials and contemporary builds, often set back behind mature trees. Sidewalk pockets and greenway links shape a walk-and-roll rhythm toward creekside trails. The setting reads quiet and residential, with daily life oriented to South Durham’s retail spine and parkland.
