Whether you are planning a full-time waterfront residence, a peaceful weekend retreat, or a place where family and friends can gather, this property offers the setting and lake access to make it possible.

The property features a substantial open area along George Hildebran School Road, providing excellent visibility and convenient access. The gently rolling landscape transitions from open ground to mature woods, creating an attractive setting with plenty of room to envision homesites while retaining natural buffers and privacy. Public water is available, an especially valuable feature for a tract of this size. With no public sewer currently serving the property, residential development would be subject to septic and soil suitability approvals. R-MU zoning provides flexibility for a variety of potential residential and other permitted uses, and buyers interested in subdivision or development should confirm their intended use, density, access, and permitting requirements with Burke County. Whether you're searching for acreage to build a secluded home, land to hold for the future, or a tract with potential for multiple residential lots, this property deserves a closer look. Its combination of 26+ acres, public water availability, paved-road frontage, open and wooded land, and flexible R-MU zoning creates a compelling opportunity in the Hickory/Burke County area.
