I think Chatham county has some wide open spaces that will probably avoid development for a long time to come. But if you want land that will appreciate and you'll be able to subdivide in a couple years and sell to a developer, check out North Eastern Wake County and Eastern Wake.
Thanks for your reply as a matter of fact we have started to look in Pittsboro and have found some land that may work. Now we are looking to commute to the RTP instead of downtown R. Siler City has land that is very low priced. We could get a very large piece there. Does anyone have a guess at the commute to RTP from Siler City or Bear Creek? I found a comment on the commute from a previous thread but I was a little confused if they meant Pittsboro or Siler City. When we mapped the commute on Yahoo it said it would be over an hour. I hope not, but it is a little too good to be true. Like everything else in life. Thanks to anyone in advance who can answer this question. We are visiting at the end of the month to test drive the commutes. It would be a big help to know ahead of time what to expect.

Wow, Bear Creek to the RTP would be quite the haul! Minimum of an hour. I base this on the fact that I live in Sanford, and go out to Bear Creek to a great family run fruitcake (don't gag, it's not your typical fruitcake and they have lots of other great things) place called Southern Supreme. It takes me about 20 minutes straight out Hwy 42west to get there. From Sanford to the RTP is about 45-55 mins, depending on traffic, so add that to the Bear Creek commute and it is pretty darn far. There is probably a "back roads" more direct route, but nothing that will let you zip up there in less than an hour. Siler City not a whole lot better either either because it's northwest of RTP.
Have you considered Lee County, possibly the Deep River area of Sanford? That would put you close to US 1North, a fairly easy commute up to RTP. Lots of land there and very scenic. Quite a few people in Sanford work up that way.
In Chatham County I would suggest no further than Pittsboro for a commute. Like the other posts, Siler City would be just too much. Chatham is one of my favorite counties. Very beautiful and still some land. It is getting pricey though. The new subdivisions are very pricey. Minimum of $400's and many are close to if not more than 1 million. Could be some nice appreciation there for a large piece of land.
I am a bit confused. If the commute from Siler City is 45+ minutes, then what is it from Pittsboro to RTP? Anything less than 45 minutes would be great. Thanks all.
hey, I just realized that someone gave me a negeative rep for my post on this saying it was "purposely misleading" WTF? I was honestly trying to help here and I am NOT a realtor so what gives???
