About This Property

Breathtaking--an apt and effortless description of this truly one-of-a-kind homesite. Perched high above the scenic Neuse River and bordering a serene heron estuary, this exceptional property offers one of the most striking and rare landscapes in Wake County.

Tucked just off Old Falls of Neuse Road--mere minutes from Raleigh--this remarkable 1.5-acre parcel feels worlds away, delivering the tranquility of a private retreat without sacrificing convenience. The homesite is already equipped with a 5-bedroom septic system and well, streamlining the path to building your custom estate.

Elevated well above the floodplain (with only the steep river's edge below), the property offers both peace of mind and dramatic views. The topography is ideal: a flat, welcoming approach from the road transitions into a gentle slope, eventually revealing impressive natural boulder formations as the land descends toward the river's edge.

Envision your future residence here--an architectural masterpiece overlooking the gentle rapids, where evenings are defined by spectacular sunsets shimmering across the water. Opportunities like this are exceedingly rare; true waterfront properties in Wake County are limited, and few compare to the beauty and presence of this offering.

Located within a neighborhood featuring NO HOA and very light original covenants, and zoned for desirable Wakefield schools, this homesite strikes a rare balance between luxury, privacy, and accessibility. It's more than land--it's the foundation for an extraordinary lifestyle.
