This is a unique opportunity to tour approximately 7.4 acres of vacant land in Chesapeake’s Hickory area, currently listed at $290,000. The property has already undergone substantial site preparation, including a boundary survey, successful perc...
test, engineered septic design, wetlands mitigation, and required U.S. Army Corps of Engineers compliance.
During the tour, focus on the cleared homesite, road access, surrounding wooded areas, privacy, drainage, and the positioning of a future home. With the property already city-approved as a homesite and the ability to bring your own builder, much of the preliminary groundwork has been completed.
Tour takeaway: A strong option for a buyer looking for acreage, privacy, and the opportunity to build a custom home in the Hickory area without starting the land-development process completely from scratch.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
