This is a rare opportunity to build in one of Durham's established in-town neighborhoods, with Town preliminary approval work already completed. Held for a generation, this is an immediate opportunity to invest in a large lot that has flexibility to meet your needs now and in the future! You can buy an existing home and adapt it to fit your needs, or you can build a home designed specifically around the way you want to live. It is unusual to find a buildable residential lot that is in-town with sidewalks and easy access. This 1.27-acre lot is oversized and sunny. Located on Emerson Road, enjoy architectural freedom with an approximately 0.67-acre building envelope that provides flexibility for home placement, outdoor living, and landscaping. Previously used for family recreation and gardening, this level, mostly cleared parcel features open green space, mature wooded edges, and roughed-in driveway access. You will find an unexpected sanctuary that is wildlife-friendly and private. Approvals to get started are in place through October 2030, including connecting to municipal utilities anytime, giving the new owner an important head start compared with purchasing unapproved raw land. Just as significant is the setting. Rather than starting in a new subdivision or remote location, this is an opportunity to create your new home within an established Durham neighborhood with sidewalks and convenient access to Oyster River schools, UNH, downtown Durham, dining, cultural amenities and commuter routes. Virtual renderings are provided solely to illustrate possibilities for the site. There may also be an opportunity to name the private way providing access from Emerson Road; truly a signature touch. Approved building lots with this combination of usable acreage, municipal services, and established-neighborhood location are a rare find in Durham. Private site walks are available by appointment and must be accompanied by an agent.
