$100,000 PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Welcome to Olive's Chapel, an extraordinary 12.8-acre estate in Apex, NC, where refined country living meets unmatched convenience. Ideally situated near Cary, Pittsboro, RDU, and RTP, with excellent shopping, dining, and top-rated schools all close by, this property also offers the added benefit of lower Chatham County taxes. A rare offering, the landscape showcases sweeping open fields and a gorgeous private pond, creating a serene, picturesque setting. With no HOA, covenants, or restrictions, the possibilities are endless! Design a private equestrian retreat, curated hobby farm, or expansive workshop, all with the freedom to shape the property around your lifestyle. The land may also allow for subdivision, with potential for up to two dwellings and two accessory buildings, ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or future investment (buyer to verify with Chatham County). The home invites effortless relaxation, from the welcoming front porch, perfect for quiet mornings, to the beautifully paved back patio overlooking the tranquil pond, an idyllic backdrop for entertaining or unwinding. A detached workshop and whole-property generator add both functionality and peace of mind. Less than a mile from Jordan Lake, this property offers exceptional access to outdoor recreation while still preserving a true sense of seclusion. An exceptional blend of acreage, location, and limitless potential! Now with a $100,000 price improvement this is a truly distinctive estate opportunity you won't want to miss!
