Western Harnett County | Barbecue Township | 1,100+ ft of US-421 Highway Frontage
17.21± total acres directly on US-421 between Lee and Harnett Counties, with over 1,100 feet of frontage on paved US-421 N and another 1,100-plus feet on Sloan Road. Of the 17.21 acres, 2.62± lie within the US-421 right-of-way, leaving 14.59± usable acres outside the road. The tract has frontage on two roads, two points of public access, and highway visibility on a road carrying about 9,500 vehicles a day (2024 NCDOT count). It's a strong fit for a buyer looking at a homesite, a residential split, or a longer-term commercial or investment hold on a growing corridor.
The Opportunity
The value is in the frontage and the flexibility. With good road frontage on two sides and gently rolling, well-drained ground, the tract can work as a single homesite, a multi-lot residential split, or a commercial or country-business site using the highway exposure. A South River Electric substation sits just up the road, so major power is close by. The land is zoned RA-30 (rural residential/agricultural), which covers residential and homesite use now; for commercial plans, a buyer would need to check rezoning with Harnett County.
The Land
The tract is wooded in mature pine and hardwood, giving it shade and privacy rather than raw cutover. The ground is gently rolling and well-drained, with no mapped wetlands and a Minimal Flood Risk FEMA rating, so it's clean and buildable with no improvements to remove. Public water runs along US-421 and up Sloan Road. There is no public sewer, so a homesite would need a septic system.
Location
About 8 miles from Sanford and Lillington, 16 miles north of Fayetteville, and a short drive up US-421 to Apex and Raleigh. Schools are Boone Trail Elementary and Western Harnett Middle and High.
