Who says you have to build a house on it? Tract 6 is 31.11 wooded acres on paved Davis Road, and this one is for the buyer whose land search has less to do with bedrooms and more to do with what happens outside. Hunt it. Cut trails through it. Create food plots. Set up a recreational retreat. Practice your marksmanship. Or simply own 31 acres and leave most of it exactly the way you found it. And here's where it gets interesting: the property backs up to a timber tract containing more than 500 acres. For a recreational or hunting buyer, having that much adjoining timberland makes these 31 acres feel like they're sitting on the edge of something much bigger. There's no HOA and no deed restrictions, and the property is zoned Rural Agricultural. The RA district provides for a broad range of potential uses, including agricultural and outdoor recreational uses. Shooting range facilities are specifically listed as a Special Use, along with other uses that may be worth exploring depending on what you have in mind. Buyers should confirm their intended use and any required approvals with Onslow County Planning & Development. This tract is not being sold as a residential building site. The soil evaluation did not identify soils suitable for conventional or alternative wastewater disposal, and the recorded survey identifies Tract 6 as not intended for development. If you're shopping for a homesite, one of the neighboring tracts will make more sense. But if you're shopping for woods, wildlife, recreation and acreage at roughly $3,858 per acre, keep reading. You're approximately 10 miles from Richlands, 12 miles from downtown Jacksonville, 16 miles from a Camp Lejeune gate and 28 miles from North Topsail Beach. No septic. No HOA. No deed restrictions. No need to pretend every piece of land needs a house. Sometimes 31 acres of woods is exactly what you were looking for. Seller will review offers Friday August 14th at 1 pm.

Maybe the five-year plan starts with buying the land. Tract 5 gives you 3.84 wooded acres on paved Davis Road with no HOA and no deed restrictions. Set up the RV while you work toward the house. Build the shop first. Bring in a manufactured or modular home. Build stick-built when you're ready. Plant a garden, get some chickens, park the boat and start turning the property into yours a little at a time. RA zoning gives you that kind of flexibility. Stick-built, manufactured and modular homes are allowed, along with one RV per parcel, a duplex, ADUs and accessory structures, subject to applicable county requirements. And this isn't a ''buy it now and hope it perks'' situation. Septic testing is already complete, two septic areas have been identified, and the seller will provide two septic permits prior to closing. You're about 10 miles from Richlands, 12 miles from downtown Jacksonville, 16 miles from a Camp Lejeune gate and 28 miles from North Topsail Beach. Buy the dirt. Park the camper. Make a plan. Change the plan. You've got almost four acres and no HOA committee waiting to approve it. Seller will review offers Friday August 14th at 1 pm.

Want out of the subdivision but don't actually want to own half the county? This 1.72-acre tract on Davis Road might be your Goldilocks lot. Enough room for some privacy, a shop, chickens, a garden and all the stuff your HOA would probably have an opinion about--without needing a tractor just to get the grass cut. There's no HOA here and no deed restrictions, and Rural Agricultural zoning leaves you with plenty of options. Stick-built, modular and manufactured homes are allowed, along with one duplex or one RV per parcel. ADUs and accessory structures are also allowed subject to county requirements. Even better, you're not buying a piece of land and then crossing your fingers about septic. Testing is already complete, a septic area has been identified, and the seller will provide the septic permit. You're approximately 10 miles from Richlands, 12 miles from downtown Jacksonville, 16 miles from a Camp Lejeune gate and 28 miles from North Topsail Beach. At $50,000, it's a little bit of country without a whole lot of acreage to babysit. Build it, place it, park it, plant it--just don't expect an HOA committee to come tell you what color your mailbox should be. Seller will review offers Friday August 14th at 1 pm.

If your current backyard can be mowed during a commercial break, maybe it's time for an upgrade. Tract 3 offers 6.30 acres on paved, state-maintained Davis Road, giving you enough room to spread out without signing up to maintain your own small county. There's no HOA and no deed restrictions, so bring your plans--and your stuff. Stick-built, modular and manufactured homes are allowed under the RA zoning. Want a shop? An outbuilding? Chickens? Horses? A garden ambitious enough to require its own tractor? There's room to think bigger here. RA zoning also allows ADUs, one duplex or one RV per parcel, subject to applicable county requirements. Here's where this tract gets especially interesting: septic testing is already complete, so the seller will provide two septic permits prior to closing. That gives the you options for how the property could be used and improved over time. You can have your space without disappearing from civilization. Richlands is approximately 10 miles away, downtown Jacksonville about 12 miles, a Camp Lejeune gate about 16 miles and North Topsail Beach about 28 miles. Six acres is a funny amount of land. Big enough for chickens, a shop, a second septic permit and questionable tractor purchases. Small enough that you can still find your house. Seller will review offers Friday August 14th at 1 pm.

More land. More options. Fewer people telling you what you can do with it. This 16.28-acre tract on Davis Road gives you plenty of room to create a property that works for you, with no HOA, no deed restrictions and Rural Agricultural zoning. Build stick-built, modular or manufactured. Add a shop or outbuildings. Bring the horses, chickens and other critters. Set up an RV, boat or trailers without worrying about an HOA letter showing up in the mailbox. RA zoning also allows ADUs and permits two principal structures when applicable requirements and setbacks can be met. What really sets this tract apart is two identified septic areas. Septic testing has already been completed, and the seller will provide two septic permits prior to closing, creating additional flexibility for future improvements and use of the property. And while 16 acres gives you plenty of breathing room, you're still approximately 10 miles from Richlands, 12 miles from downtown Jacksonville, 16 miles from a Camp Lejeune gate and 28 miles from North Topsail Beach. Two septic permits. 16.28 acres. No HOA. No deed restrictions. Plenty of road frontage and plenty of possibilities. Now you just have to decide what you want to do with all that room.
