About this home
Down a dirt road just outside the small village of Halifax sits a charming cottage in a wooded setting. The generous 5 acre lot provides a private sanctuary to enjoy the wildlife. Approaching the home you will notice the fine stonework stairs leading you to the mudroom entry. The home makes good use of the space with an open kitchen and sun filled living room that invites you out to a large deck overlooking the private yard. The 2 bedrooms are tucked away from the living area for a very functional layout. Having areas to go for walks right from home makes this a great place to enjoy the outdoors at a reasonable price. Make an appointment today and come see this truly adorable spot.

RR
Rural Residential District
The purpose of the Rural Residential District is to provide for residential development and compatible light industrial & light commercial uses at moderate densities which are easily accessible to Class 2 and 3 public roads. It is anticipated that the bulk of new residential and light commercial growth will take place within this district. Special care should be taken to protect the rural-residential character of this district, to locate proposed development off of productive agricultural lands, and to minimize forest fragmentation. Non-residential development proposed in the RR District shall be carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis utilizing the standards established under Conditional Use Approval, and elsewhere throughout this Zoning Regulation including, but not limited to General Performance Standards, Landscaping Requirements, and Article 5 Special Regulations, as applicable.
Directions: From the Village of Halifax take Jacksonville Stage road to your first left onto Tucker Rd. Make a left on Old County Rd. House is first on the left just over the bridge. CAUTION: Whitneyville road is not a through road and is unmaintained where it reaches Tucker rd.
