NO HOA | ROXBORO NC HOMESITE | MOBILE HOME FRIENDLY | SOIL TEST SUPPORTS 2BR | NEAR MAYO LAKE Bring your builder to this wooded 0.67-acre homesite on a paved state-maintained road in the Mayo Lake area of northern Person County. Two recorded parcels are offered together as one ready-to-build tract in a quiet, established country setting just minutes from the lake. A head start is already in place. The lot is a confirmed buildable homesite, grandfathered with the county and ready for a home subject to meeting standard setbacks - a real question answered up front on a parcel this size. A preliminary site-soil evaluation has also been completed by a licensed North Carolina soil scientist, indicating soils support an on-site septic system pending a detailed evaluation. That is real time and guesswork saved before the homesite work begins. The land is gently rolling and wooded with frontage on Gillis Road (SR 1517), a paved state-maintained road - no gravel or dirt access to navigate. There is no known homeowners association and no recorded covenants on file, and no mapped flood plain or wetlands, giving a buyer flexibility and control over the homesite. Zoning is R-C Rural Conservation, one of Person County's most flexible districts. A single-family home, modular home, or manufactured home is permitted by right, along with agricultural and animal use such as horses or a small homestead. There is no minimum house size required by the zoning ordinance - a tiny home, modest cottage, or full-size family home are all welcome. A private well and septic mean no monthly city water or sewer bills. LOCATION: - Mayo Lake recreation - about 5 minutes - Roxboro (county seat) - about 20 minutes - Danville, VA - about 40 minutes - Durham and the Research Triangle - about 55 minutes INFRASTRUCTURE NOTES THE NEXT BUYER SHOULD KNOW: - Water: private well required (no public water at the road) - Sewer: on-site septic; preliminary soil evaluation completed, detailed evaluation and county permit needed prior to building - Road: paved, state-maintained (SR 1517) - Zoning: R-C Rural Conservation - Minimum house size: none required by zoning - Buildable: confirmed buildable / grandfathered lot of record, subject to meeting setbacks - HOA/Covenants: none known - Flood/Wetlands: none mapped
