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.

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.
