Calling all artists, animal and nature lovers, hobby farmers, and entrepreneurs! Bring your vision to this flat, versatile 5+ acre lot—peacefully tucked away, yet only 10 minutes from downtown Pittsboro. Create your own private retreat while enjoying a sense of community alongside the neighboring Goathouse animal sanctuary and artist's studio. A county-approved, four-bedroom shared septic system is already in place; the buyer simply needs to connect. No HOA. Zoned R-1, the property offers a variety of possibilities: • Approximately 1 acre on the northern portion provides road access and potential space for a small home-based business, artist's studio, farm stand, pasture, or barn. • Approximately 4 acres on the southern portion offer a flat, spacious setting for a private primary residence. An option to purchase only this 4+ acre portion may also be available. • Additional possibilities may include an income-producing primary residence, such as a single-family duplex or bed-and-breakfast. All proposed uses are subject to county approval. House and outbuilding images are for illustrative purposes only and are not included in the purchase price. The greater Pittsboro area blends small-town Southern charm and natural beauty with access to UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, world-class healthcare, and the Research Triangle's renowned centers of research and innovation. With a thriving arts scene, diverse cuisine, and Pittsboro's growing 79° West Innovation Hub, this is an inviting place to live, create, and grow.
