A recently timbered corner lot on two paved state roads. Two title problems stood between us and closing.
A 2016 seller-financed loan had never been cancelled on the record. The seller said it was paid. We wrote to the lender, sent certified mail, called the law firm that had closed it, and finally reached him by phone in Florida. He signed and notarized the satisfaction our attorney drafted.
A pair of 2024 deeds had also put the seller's late father on title. We pulled his death certificate so the attorney could clear it.
Then the land itself. The soil map called it marginal to unsuitable for septic. We paid a licensed soil scientist anyway, and his nine borings found two areas suitable for a three-bedroom system. That report is below. It sold in June 2025.
The diligence file as it stood at closing, including anything still open.
Tract 3 of the J.W. Taylor Estate Division: 6.33 acres by deed, whose lines run to the centre of both state roads. County GIS measures 5.775 acres, which is what was listed and sold.
A $22,000 purchase-money deed of trust from 2016 had no recorded satisfaction. After letters, certified mail and calls, the lender signed a satisfaction drafted by our closing attorney, and it was cleared before we bought.
Two 2024 deeds had made the seller's late father a joint owner with right of survivorship. Cleared with his death certificate before closing.
Soil & Septic Solutions, PLLC, field work February 22, 2025, report March 2, 2025, for a three-bedroom conventional system. Nine borings; depth to saprolite and wetness are the limits. Two suitable areas, about 8,000 and 35,000 sq ft, with a shallow-placed system under a 6 in soil cap. The small piece south of Coles Mill Rd was not evaluated.
USDA mapping shows Mooshaunee-Hallison soils with shallow bedrock flagged, read as marginal to unsuitable. The field borings overturned that.
Moore County Planning: RA. Homes, modular and mobile homes and farming allowed; 1-acre minimum lots, 100 ft wide with 100 ft of frontage.
About 494 ft on Kelly Plantation Rd and 477 ft on Coles Mill Rd, both paved. Timbered a couple of years before, now in dense regrowth. No mapped wetlands or flood zone.

Odd lots, divided parcels, land with a question hanging over it: that is most of what we buy. We do the survey, the soil work and the calls to the city and county ourselves, and we put what we find in writing.
