Bring your vision to life on this 1.7-acre tract at the end of McGowan Road. Zoned RA (Rural Agriculture), the property offers flexibility rarely found—build a stick-built, modular, or manufactured home, or even a duplex. With no HOA and outside city limits, you won't have to worry about restrictive covenants holding you back. The lot measures about 68 feet wide and runs deep, giving you room to design it the way you want. Picture a winding private driveway that takes you to a home tucked back in the woods, or build up front and enjoy a sprawling backyard for play, gardening, or pets. Recent soil evaluation suggests the land can likely support a septic system for up to a 4-bedroom home (final permitting through the county or engineer). RA zoning also allows 1 RV per parcel, along with accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and large accessory structures—perfect for that metal workshop, detached garage, or guest space you've been wanting. Add in plenty of space for a garden, animals, or extra storage, and you've got room to grow in every direction. As the last lot on the street, you'll enjoy extra privacy and minimal traffic. Whether you're planning a forever home, a small farmstead, or holding land as an investment, this tract offers a rare blend of freedom, privacy, and possibility in Onslow County.
