WHAT YOU CAN PUT HERE: Zoned AR-40 (Agricultural Residential) with no HOA. A site-built home is allowed by right. A manufactured home is allowed with a quick county staff review (foundation skirting, permanent steps, hitch removed). Modular homes built to the NC building code are generally treated like site-built homes; confirm with the county. One main home per lot, and an attached in-law suite inside a site-built home is allowed. ANIMALS WELCOME: Bona fide farms, including livestock, horses and poultry, are allowed by right in AR-40. Confirm hobby animal plans with Granville County Planning. GREAT FOR: A country home, a mini farm, a weekend retreat, or a family that wants room near Oxford. BUILDING: No soil test or recent survey on file yet. A home will need a septic system, so a soil evaluation is the first step. The land is wooded and gently rolling, with an open spot near the highway. UTILITIES: The seller reports an old well on the land, sold as-is; its condition is unknown, so plan on a new private well. Septic needed. Power lines run along NC Highway 96. ACCESS: About 395 ft of frontage on NC Highway 96, a paved, state-maintained road. A new driveway needs an NCDOT driveway permit.

GOOD TO KNOW: The federal wetland map shows about 1.1 acres of wetland along the back (west) side; the front near the highway is outside the mapped area. There is no recent survey, so the outline in the photos is approximate. Images enhanced for clarity. Property facts, what you can do with the land and the How to Find the Property guide are ready to review. Cash or buyer financing welcome; ask about other financing options.
