A soil analysis has already been completed, and the property has been found suitable for a conventional septic system—a huge head start compared to most rural parcels. Overhead power lines run along Ralph Winchester Rd at the front of the property (service typically provided in this area by Blue Ridge Energy or Duke Energy; buyer to confirm with provider).

Public water is not confirmed at this stretch of road, so you should plan on a private well, with water availability to be verified directly with the Caldwell County Water Department. There are no known creeks or floodplains on the property, and the ground offers usable, rolling topography: enough contour for interest and views, but still very workable for a driveway, homesite, outbuildings, or a small homestead layout.

Zoned Rural/Agricultural – Vacant Land, the tract has no HOA and no known deed restrictions, giving you more freedom than typical subdivision lots. Manufactured homes are allowed under current understanding. If you’re planning long-term RV use or other non-traditional structures, be sure to confirm specific allowances with Caldwell County Planning & Zoning.

This is a fantastic setting for:

A full-time residence or mountain cabin

A manufactured home tucked into the trees

A mini-farm or homestead with garden space and chickens

A weekend retreat or future retirement spot in the NC foothills

You’ll enjoy the feel of true country living while still being a short drive to everyday amenities, shopping, and restaurants in Lenoir, with easy access to the broader Hickory/Morganton area and the High Country towns to the north.
