Mebane

Located just a short commute west on Interstate 40, just past historic Hillsborough, the Mebane area is in the midst of a growth spurt. The area has several new housing developments, and because of the availability of land as well as solid infrastructure systems, business opportunities abound. 

This area really and truly offers the perfect mix of lifestyle and location. At the same time, the area encompasses three major East Coast cities, and borders North Carolina’s Research Triangle. Which means that, when residents tire of hiking, kayaking and cycling, they can easily take advantage of the educational, cultural and professional opportunities offered by these close-in, metropolitan centers. Additionally, for all of its rustic, rural appeal, the location, along with a network of interstate highways, makes travel in any direction both quick and easy.

Culturally, the county is shaped largely by its world-renowned university system, as well as the forward-thinking companies that have made their homes here. These companies are attracted by the county’s pro-entrepreneur leadership, along with its abundant supply of highly educated, highly skilled workers. The climate here is conducive not only to business, but to a thriving arts community, too, as evidenced in the county’s numerous public art displays, commercial galleries, arts & crafts studios, performing arts events, concerts and movie showings.

The Duchy

The Duchy is a gated development on the outskirts of Chapel Hill designed and developed to provide private airpark services to it’s residents. Thirty-seven large lots overlook the 3500′ airstrip (5NC5) – all perfectly positioned for the sunset landing money shot over the two-acre pond. It is located in a lovely rural environment in Alamance County, midway between the Triangle and Triad areas of central North Carolina.  This convenient location offers an easy commute to Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, Burlington, and Greensboro, as well as Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). According to the property owners website:

“70% of the lots have been sold, and 10 have been developed with owner-occupied single family homes and attached hangars. Residents are friends as well as neighbors; we’re all dukes and duchesses!”

Currently being offered for sale is Lot #2 in The Duchy. It is available as either a lot or a house built to suit by our builder or yours. The property comes in at just over two acres and is sloped gently toward the south. The current approved house plans call for 4,438 square feet of custom luxury, with your plane parked right in the basement.
