This 6.69-acre parcel in Cedar Grove comes with a fascinating connection to Northern Orange County history. Once part of Doc Corbett's tobacco farm, the property was purchased from one of his heirs, and remnants of the old tobacco furrows are still visible across the land. Mostly flat topography and an improvement permit valid through March 2028 provide a significant head start for a future build. The initial septic system has been planned and the property has been surveyed. Serene and rural while still convenient to Efland, Mebane, and Hillsborough, the property offers plenty of possibilities for a country home, hobby farm, or homestead. And when you're ready to venture out, nearby Botanist and Barrel makes a particularly good neighbor for local wine, cider, charcuterie, and a farmstand. A beautiful piece of Northern Orange County with much of the early groundwork for building already in place.
