Envision your dream homesite on 0.9 wooded acres in eastern Orange County, located just half a mile down the road from the Pleasant Green Access of Eno River State Park. There's approximately 365 feet of road frontage along Laurel Ridge Rd and roughly 250 feet adjoining Eno River State Park property. This parcel features a mixture of mature hardwoods and pines, with a gradual downward slope toward the rear. The location provides a peaceful natural layout for a potential homesite adjoining State Park land along the eastern portion of the property. The property is zoned R-1 and has power available, though a private well and septic system will be required. A previously held septic permit was issued for a 2 bedroom dwelling expired in 2023, but provides positive indication for septic suitability. Situated within the Lower Eno River Protected Watershed, the parcel is restricted to an impervious surface limitation of 36%. This regulation limits the amount of impervious surface such as structures and gravel areas on the property in order to help manage stormwater runoff and protect the Eno River watershed. This location offers convenient access to the broader Triangle region. Durham's thriving business community, restaurants, shopping, medical facilities, and entertainment are within easy reach. Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle provide access to an abundance of recreational and entertainment attractions, an extensive network of employment centers, and prestigious local universities. Raleigh-Durham International Airport is also conveniently accessible, making regional and national travel readily available. For those looking to create a private homesite without sacrificing access to the amenities of the Triangle, this property offers a truly unique opportunity.
