Featured Property: 54± Acres of Prime Residential Land in Granville County, NC

Carolina Forestry & Realty is pleased to present a new property offering in the fast-growing region of southern Granville County. The Old NC 75 Tract consists of approximately 54.2 deeded acres of residential development land ideally situated just outside the towns of Stem and Butner, and within easy commuting distance of Raleigh, Durham, and the Research Triangle Park.

A Strategic Location with Utilities in Place

Located along Old NC 75, the property offers approximately 980± feet of road frontage, with direct access to key infrastructure. Public water and a forced-main sewer line, provided by SGWASA, are located at the road, along with electricity—a significant advantage for residential developers or those seeking to build a private estate.

The property falls within the Butner Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and is zoned Residential Preservation (RP). According to the 2040 Butner Future Land Use Plan, the area is designated as Rural Residential, making it well-aligned with the region’s long-term growth and development goals.

A Beautiful, Natural Setting

The landscape of the Old NC 75 Tract is as compelling as its location. The acreage is characterized by gently rolling topography, a mix of mid-aged pines and hardwoods, and several small streams meandering through the property. A small pond adds both scenic beauty and ecological value.

In addition to the forested areas, there is an overgrown field along the road front, which could be easily cleared for access or development. Importantly, the property lies outside of any flood zones, adding peace of mind for future construction and long-term use.

Development, Investment, or Estate Potential

This tract offers remarkable flexibility. Whether you’re:

• A residential real estate developer looking to establish a small community,
• An investor seeking land with appreciation potential, or
• A private buyer interested in creating a secluded estate for recreation, forestry, or hunting,
• …the Old NC 75 Tract presents a rare combination of location, utilities, natural beauty, and zoning compatibility.
