Description
This 24.7A± acre tract in southern Person County offers a blend of privacy, recreational use, and convenient access to nearby amenities. Located just minutes from Roxboro and approximately 24 miles from Durham, the property provides a rural setting with easy access to employment, shopping, dining, and services.The land features gently rolling topography and is predominantly wooded, offering both natural beauty and long-term timber value. The tract was professionally planted in 1995 and has not been harvested, resulting in a stand of mature timber that may provide future income opportunities. The wooded acreage also contributes to the overall privacy and natural character of the land.For those interested in outdoor recreation, the property offers habitat that may support wildlife commonly found in this region of North Carolina. The wooded landscape and surrounding rural area provide opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, and general outdoor enjoyment. The size and layout of the tract allow flexibility for a range of uses, including recreational ownership, timber investment, or a potential homesite.In addition to its recreational appeal, the property offers convenient access to nearby communities. Roxboro, the county seat of Person County, provides grocery stores, restaurants, retail services, and everyday amenities. The property is also within driving distance of Durham, a larger regional employment and cultural center offering expanded dining, medical services, entertainment, and transportation options. Travel access is further supported by the nearby Person County Airport, which provides general aviation services for the region.A recent soil evaluation indicated that a conventional septic system would not be supported. However, a licensed septic engineer has completed a site review and indicated that there is sufficient space for a surface irrigation wastewater system (whether spray or drip) in two areas on the property. The formal report from AWT is available in the documents section. The property is priced to reflect the requirement for an engineered septic system, offering an opportunity for buyers to secure acreage at a value adjusted for site conditions.Seller financing is available for qualified buyers with 20% down, providing additional flexibility for those seeking to secure this property without traditional bank financing.Properties of this size and location in southern Person County are increasingly limited, particularly those offering both privacy and proximity to Roxboro and the greater Durham area. This tract presents an opportunity for buyers seeking recreational land with future homesite potential supported by engineered septic design.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a past student of Helena elementary the school it self is wonderful but certain teachers/subs may not be the best fit in my time at Helena I had three teachers hit me one being a sub the others being permanent staff members. When I reported this to the principal I was told that I should get to know them and it wasn't serious enough to check the camera footage. I'm not saying you shouldn't send your kids here but if they tell you something please believe it.Other Review4y ago - Person High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is barely passing the standards of what a public high school should be. Teachers, half the time, don't even know how their students learn and most try to make their subjects as dull and boring as humanly possible. Most assign busy work thinking that counts as teaching. There are a few teachers who actually take the time to adjust to what their students need. One teacher I had dedicated a lot of class time to making sure we were ready for his final and showed us exactly what was going to be expected. He also made an effort in trying to make the subject more interesting. However, this is only one teacher compared to several other teachers who don't try nearly as hard. If every teacher was like the one I described, then the school would have greatly improved in regard to learning. Honestly, I never enjoyed my experience at this school much and would recommend that you send your student somewhere else.Student Review3y ago - Southern Middle
