Presenting one of the most significant land opportunities in the Pender County market — a rare 108 ± acre development portfolio located less than one mile from the heart of Historic Downtown Burgaw.
This exceptional offering includes 98± acres of residential land, and a 10± acre tract well positioned for utility access, including sewer, water, power, and natural gas. With access from Stanford Avenue off 117 ( 70 ft Public right of way) ,this portfolio offers the scale, flexibility, and infrastructure necessary for a transformative master-planned development.
Situated outside of a flood zone and strategically positioned between Highway 117, HWY 53, and the I-40 corridor, this property represents a truly rare opportunity for a developer with the vision to shape one of Southeastern North Carolina’s most compelling mixed-use communities. As the county seat for the 5th largest county in North Carolina ( Pender) and a rich history, Burgaw is well positioned to make an impact on the NC town scene.
The recently timbered 98-acre tract provides immediate visibility into the site’s topography and development potential. The additional 10-acre parcel along Stanford Avenue, adjacent to an existing apartment community, further strengthens the site’s long-term utility and access appeal.
With current zoning classifications that includes O&I and R-20, this portfolio will require a thoughtful rezoning and entitlement strategy. However, the scale and positioning of the property make it ideally suited for a high-level mixed-use vision that could include apartments, townhomes, single-family residential, neighborhood retail, office space, recreational amenities, and thoughtfully integrated green space.
This is more than just a land offering — it is an opportunity to create a legacy project for Burgaw. A developer with the right vision could pursue a dynamic public-private partnership that not only unlocks the property’s full value, but also contributes meaningful community enhancements such as stormwater and drainage improvements, walkability, and public recreation.
Opportunities of this size, location, and long-term potential are increasingly rare. In the right hands, this property has the potential to become one of Burgaw’s most impactful future developments — a signature destination that blends growth, lifestyle, and community just moments from the town’s historic downtown core.
