COUNTY WATER | PAVED HIGHWAY | NO HOA | 3 TO 4 BR SOIL REPORT | MANUFACTURED HOMES OK
Wooded land for sale in Cleveland County, NC: about 3.3 acres on paved NC Highway 10 near Casar, in the rolling foothills of Upper Cleveland County below the South Mountains.
WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE: Build your home in the country, set a manufactured or modular home, plant a big garden, or simply own a quiet wooded piece right on a paved state highway with county water at the road.
WHAT YOU CAN PUT HERE: The land is zoned R (Residential) by Cleveland County, with no HOA and no deed restrictions. The county allows a site-built home, a modular home, or a single or doublewide manufactured home (with county standards like house-style siding and continuous skirting). The zoning allows one home on this lot.
ANIMALS WELCOME: There is no HOA, and we found no per-lot animal limits in the county zoning code, so a few chickens or goats for your own use should be fine (confirm with Cleveland County Planning).
GREAT FOR: A first home on land, a manufactured home site, a quiet country homestead, or a builder looking for a lot on a paved road.
BUILDING: A licensed soil scientist's report found three areas on the land suited for a conventional septic system, each large enough for a typical 3 to 4 bedroom home (preliminary; the county issues the final permit). The soil report is attached. A new survey is pending. Parts of the land are steep, so plan your homesite on the better ground and expect some grading.
UTILITIES: County water is at the road (tap fee applies). Power lines run along NC Highway 10. You would add a septic system, which is normal for country land in Cleveland County.
ACCESS: About 300 feet of frontage on paved, state-maintained NC Highway 10, at the corner of Hywood Road. A new driveway onto the highway needs a state (NCDOT) driveway permit. Not in a flood zone, and no wetlands mapped.
NEARBY TOWNS: Casar 3 miles, Belwood 7 miles, Lawndale 12 miles, Shelby 21 miles, Hickory 24 miles, Morganton 25 miles, Charlotte 57 miles.
AIRPORTS: Hickory Regional (HKY) about 25 miles, Shelby-Cleveland County Regional (EHO) about 26 miles, Charlotte Douglas (CLT) about 50 miles.
THINGS TO DO: South Mountains State Park is just to the north (about 8 miles to the park's south side; the main entrance with High Shoals Falls is about 22 miles by road), and the Earl Scruggs Center in Shelby is about 21 miles.
GOOD TO KNOW: The deed describes the land as the remainder of a larger tract and the county maps it at about 3.44 acres, so the new survey will set the final lines and acreage.
