Opportunities to create something new in North Ridge seldom come with this much room to work with. Set along Harps Mill Road, this 0.64-acre property offers 27,878 square feet in one of Raleigh's most sought-after established neighborhoods. The existing home is slated for removal, with plans to subdivide the property into two lots for custom-built homes. That combination of location, lot size, and the chance to shape two homes from the ground up is what makes this offering so compelling. For a builder or buyer with a vision for North Ridge, the value lies in the land and what it could become. Subdivision and construction are subject to applicable approvals.
North Ridge, located between Falls of Neuse Road and Six Forks Road, is a residential and golf-oriented Raleigh neighborhood with rolling fairways and wooded cul-de-sacs. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Ridge Country Club entrance on Falls of Neuse Road, where manicured greens, tennis courts, and a steady rhythm of carts set the tone. Architectural lines lean toward brick traditionals and updated ranches, often set back behind mature trees. Greenway links and pocket parks shape a walk-and-ride routine through the canopy. North Ridge Country Club and the nearby Shelley Lake loop act as familiar gathering backdrops for weekends and weekday resets.
