You have found it - the perfect 12-acre property to build your dream home or create a private weekend escape. The possibilities here are exceptional, especially with the modern barn built in 2019 by the previous owner. While the barn does not currently include indoor plumbing, it is a fully conditioned space that can be thoughtfully adapted to suit a variety of uses - modern art studio or gallery, a carpenter's workshop, a writer's retreat, a private office, or a dedicated fitness or yoga/Pilates studio. The property also features an extraordinary well, with a water line extended to a charming pitcher pump just outside the barn. An open-air shower and a large vintage cast-iron sink at the well house add both character and functionality, making this an ideal setting for a substantial garden or small-scale farm. With that flexibility in mind, it is important to note that restrictive covenants are in place which prohibit use of the property as an event space. These covenants were established by the owners and their neighbors to preserve the beauty and integrity of the land, ensuring it remains an exceptional setting for a private home, retreat, or farm. Located in Orange County, North Carolina (Mebane), 5956 Whitlow Johnson Lane is one of only four properties within the 92-acre subdivision known as The View at McDaniel Ridge. Per the covenants, the property may not be subdivided without unanimous consent of the other three property owners - further protecting the privacy and long-term character of the community. The existing barn is a beautifully crafted structure that blends contemporary simplicity with timeless character. Inside, an open-plan studio and cozy loft flow seamlessly together, anchored by a striking cupola that frames protected, expansive views of the surrounding landscape. Recent updates by the current owners and a respected local builder enhance the space even further. New architectural windows have been added to the rear of the barn, the interior and exterior have been freshly painted, and the loft has been reimagined into a warm, inviting space complete with concealed ductwork and a custom closet with built-in doors. With key infrastructure already in place - including electrical service, well, and driveway - and soil recently engineered and approved for septic, the property is well-positioned for what comes next. Whether that means building a custom home or expanding the barn to include features such as a kitchen and bath, the groundwork has been thoughtfully completed, allowing the next owner to move forward with clarity and confidence in a setting defined by the natural beauty of North Carolina.

Imagine the possibilities of building a custom home on 3.15 private acres in Chapel Hill. Lot 14 in Triple Crown Farms is located in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district, with current school assignments to Morris Grove Elementary, McDougle Middle, and Chapel Hill High School. This homesite (Lot 14, as shown on the recorded plat of Triple Crown Farms) includes a total of 12,000 sq ft of impervious surface allowance. The seller previously purchased an additional 4,000 sq ft of allowance beyond the original 8,000 sq ft for $50,000--a significant value that conveys with the property. This expanded allocation provides flexibility for a larger home footprint, an extended driveway, a pool, a detached garage, or expansive outdoor living areas -- a rare advantage in Orange County, where impervious limits are strictly regulated. A professional soils report identifies areas provisionally suitable for a conventional septic system (final system design subject to county approval), providing added confidence during planning.
