Investment and development opportunity on US-421 in one of Central North Carolina's fastest-growing corridors, this is 17.21± total acres with over 1,100 feet of frontage on paved US-421 N and another 1,100-plus feet on Sloan Road, a public gravel road, giving the tract deep dual frontage and two points of public-road access, and of the 17.21 acres 2.62± lie within the US-421 right-of-way, leaving 14.59± usable acres outside the road, and US-421 carried roughly 9,500 vehicles per day on the 2024 NCDOT count, putting real highway visibility on a property positioned right in the path of growth between Lee and Harnett Counties and just minutes from Sanford, Broadway, and Lillington, so this is a standout hold for a commercial or investment buyer getting ahead of the area's expansion, and the flexibility is the story here because across gently rolling, well-drained ground the tract works as a single estate homesite, a multi-lot residential split, or, with its highway exposure, a future commercial or country-business site, with a South River Electric substation just up the road putting major power infrastructure nearby, though the land itself is currently zoned RA-30 for rural residential and agricultural use, so buyers should verify rezoning potential with Harnett County for any commercial plans, and the land is beautifully wooded in mature pine and hardwood for a striking, park-like setting with real presence and privacy, with no mapped wetlands and a Minimal Flood Risk FEMA designation making it clean, buildable ground with no improvements, and while public water runs along US-421 and up Sloan Road there is no public sewer available so a septic system would be required, and the location puts you roughly 8 miles from Sanford and Lillington, 16 miles north of Fayetteville, and a short drive to the Apex and Raleigh metro, so as Lee and Harnett Counties keep growing, frontage like this on a US highway only gets harder to find.
