Earl Trail Lots

Description

Ideal for a homesite and mini-farm, these 2 lots offers open land, gentle terrain, and convenient access to nearby towns and major highways.

Both lots feature open land and convenient access near US Highway 421. A new boundary survey and subdivision survey are underway and scheduled for completion February 2026. Lot 1 consists of 5.0 acres, and Lot 2 consists of approximately 3.6 acres.

Access is provided by a 30-foot shared easement along Earl Trail, a privately maintained gravel drive. The property is partially fenced, power located along Earl Trail, and soils have been evaluated as suitable for septic – see Soils Evaluation Report in attachments below.

There are no deed restrictions and no homeowners association. The property is located in an area with a low county tax rate of 0.635% and zoned Rural Agriculture (R-A), providing flexibility for residential, agricultural, or small farm use.

Conveniently located less than 5 miles from Julian, Climax, and the Greensboro Mega Site, about a 10-minute drive to Liberty, and approximately 15 minutes to Greensboro, this property combines a peaceful rural setting with easy access to nearby towns and major employment centers.

This district often supports lower-density development, allowing for agricultural activities, livestock, and residential structures. Specific regulations focus on maintaining the rural character, such as preserving open spaces and managing, as stated in the Randolph County, NC Unified Development Ordinance Update Presentation, with, as shown in the Randolph County, NC (.gov) agenda file, land development, and as discussed in the Citizen’s Guide to Land Development – Randolph County document, the, as found in the Randolph County, NC Register of Deeds agenda file meeting, environmental impacts. 

For specific property inquiries, the Randolph County Planning and Zoning Department manages these regulations.
