A rare opportunity to build in one of Durham's most storied neighborhoods. This 1.65-acre homesite is the last remaining buildable lot of an acre or more in historic Duke Forest, offering quiet and privacy just minutes from everything. Set well back from the street among mature hardwoods, the property feels like a natural retreat. Much of the groundwork is already done: a circular driveway, utilities, and a cleared building site are in place, giving your future home a gracious arrival and saving you considerable time and expense. From your back door, a walk through your own woods leads to the Al Buehler Trail, the beloved path that winds around the historic Washington Duke Golf Course. Enjoy a morning run, an evening stroll, or a walk to Duke games, with Duke University right next door. Everything else is close at hand too: approximately 9 minutes to Downtown Durham and I-85, 14 minutes to I-40, 17 minutes to RTP, and 20 minutes to RDU International Airport. Peaceful woods, trail access, and a historic setting beside Duke make this one of a kind. Bring your builder and your vision, and design your once-in-a-lifetime home.
