Lakefront privacy, trailside beauty, and build-ready infrastructure — this rare 17.63-acre wooded property sits on the edge of Falls Lake in Durham County's highly sought-after Rural Tier. With direct access to the Mountains-to-Sea Trail and a natural sandy beach area, this parcel offers a unique opportunity for a private estate, retreat, or long-term land investment. A 2020 soil and septic evaluation supports either one 4-bedroom home or two 2-bedroom homes, giving flexibility for a variety of lifestyle needs. The property features underground power at the road and high-speed internet capability, making it easy to stay connected while enjoying total seclusion. Zoned RR (Rural Residential), the land supports low-density use and is not in a floodplain. There are no HOA restrictions and no city taxes. Located just 2 miles from Falls Lake's Rolling View Marina and minutes from Falls Lake Golf Club, this property is also close to the popular Zinc House Winery & Brewery. It's the perfect blend of outdoor recreation and upscale convenience — all just 15 minutes from RTP and Downtown Durham. Paved road frontage with a shared driveway maintained by neighborly agreement adds to the ease of access without compromising privacy. Whether you're hiking the MST trail from your backyard, launching your boat at the nearby marina, or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, this is a property where memories are made.
