1.22 acres of mostly level land in Burke County, sitting just off Dysartsville Road and about five miles from Lake James. Power, water, and a septic tank are already in place. Flat ground like this cuts way down on site prep, which is no small thing in the foothills. Zoned residential, not in a mapped flood zone, with private road access. An older trailer and a wood shed are still on the land and both will need to be hauled off, so work that into your numbers. Existing septic serves the old trailer. The site location not surveyed, but may be large enough for subdividing. However, no soil work has been done on the back portion. Trailer and wood shed convey and will need removal. Access is by private road with no existing maintenance agreement between those living along Pritchard Drive. GIS notes that land is within .5 miles of farmland.
