Lot 13 Belle Point Ct

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, private cul-de-sac in Bellechene lies an extraordinary 12.79-acre waterfront sanctuary where majestic hardwood forests embrace the peaceful waters of a picturesque pond, and the splendor of nature unfolds in every direction. Here, the landscape reveals itself in breathtaking layers. Winding woodland trails lead beneath mature hardwoods, opening to expansive views across the shimmering pond, a secluded cove, distant pastures, rolling fields, forested horizons, and the ever-changing beauty of the open sky. With extensive shoreline, a gently flowing creek, and property boundaries extending into the shared pond itself, Lot 13 offers an uncommon connection to the water and surrounding countryside. There is a rare kind of tranquility here, revealed in the stillness of the water, the gentle movement of wildlife, and the quiet embrace of the forest. Wild turkeys, owls, hawks, ospreys, herons, kingfishers, Canadian geese, wood ducks, diving ducks, and other waterfowl have been observed throughout this remarkable landscape. And, if you listen carefully, the gentle chime of distant church bells may drift across the countryside, a comforting reminder of simpler times. Imagine an elegant country estate nestled among the trees, with expansive windows framing the water and distant countryside, peaceful gardens, and inviting outdoor spaces where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings unfold beneath a canopy of stars. Bellechene's protective covenants preserve the community's peaceful residential character while permitting horses, ponies, cows, limited poultry, and barns or stalls for residents' horses and ponies within established guidelines. Aside from a Road Maintence Agreement to care for the private streets of Bellechene, there are no other HOA fees. Last but not least, Preliminary soil evaluations have identified areas potentially suitable for a conventional septic system, subject to final Orange County approval. Offered individually or together with adjoining Lot 12R, the properties present an exceptional opportunity to create an approximately 22.8-acre private estate surrounded by mature forest, winding trails, creeks, abundant wildlife, and remarkable waterfront beauty. Conveniently located in northern Orange County, within reach of historic Hillsborough and the greater Triangle. Orange County PIN: 9857373806

Lot 12 Belle Point Court

Tucked away at the end of a quiet, private cul-de-sac in Bellechene lies a remarkable 10.01-acre woodland sanctuary where the pace of life slows, the outside world grows distant, and nature quietly takes center stage. Majestic hardwoods rise above winding woodland trails, gentle creeks meander through the forest, and the landscape unfolds toward peaceful wetlands and the still waters of a picturesque pond. Here, sunlight filters through the canopy, birdsong echoes among the trees, and, if you listen carefully, the gentle chime of distant church bells may drift across the countryside, a comforting reminder of simpler times. Each season reveals its own beauty, from spring's fresh greenery and summer's cooling shade to autumn's brilliant colors and the graceful silhouettes of winter. Imagine a beautiful country home nestled among the hardwoods, where mornings begin with birdsong, afternoons invite peaceful walks along woodland paths, and evenings offer the simple pleasure of returning to a place that feels entirely your own. Bellechene's protective covenants preserve the community's residential character while permitting horses, ponies, cows, limited poultry, and certain equestrian structures within established guidelines. While this community has restrictive covenants, Bellechene does not have a Homeowners Association, only a Road Maintence Agreement to care for the private streets of this peaceful subdivision. Last, but certainly not least, preliminary soil evaluations have identified areas potentially suitable for a conventional septic system, subject to final Orange County approval. Lot 12 can be purchased individually, or together with adjoining Lot 13 to create an approximately 22.8-acre private estate surrounded by mature woods, creeks, pond frontage, and exceptional natural beauty. Conveniently located in northern Orange County, within reach of historic Hillsborough and the greater Triangle. Orange County PIN: 9857383369
