Some of the most beautiful land in New Hanover County. Would make a wonderful estate lot or lovely location for a small subdivision. Close to downtown and yet no city taxes. Historically this property was part of a large rice plantation. On over 7 acres of mostly high and dry land are groves of gorgeous hardwood trees. Looking out, this land will have a panoramic view of the Cape Fear River and marshland. A peaceful location situated right next to Preservation Point. This part of Wilmington is being discovered and is truly a wonderful location! There is a power line easement running through a small portion of the land, and water, sewer and natural gas are right next door. Survey and wetlands delineation was completed in 2024.
