Everyone's got cheap rural land for sale. But how can you differentiate between a good deal and low-quality land? The safest and most secure way to protect against buying land with unseen problems or hazards is to first decide who to buy from rather than where to buy. If you're looking for cheap rural land for sale in North Carolina, or anywhere else for that matter, one of the best ways to get a good deal is by dealing directly with the owner of the property. This lets you avoid the added cost of going through a developer or real estate agent. But this also removes the services they provide, such as researching the land and its history. Bluegreen Communities provides both.  For more than half a century, Bluegreen has been finding cheap rural land for sale, performing extensive researc...

Map of Homes - Chatham County 5th Annual Triangle Green Home Tour It's the "Parade of Homes" for green building, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you find!  Thousands of North Carolinians and visitors will tour thirty "green certified" homes during the weekends of May 15/16 and May 22/23.  Raleigh's annual Green Home Tour is a free, self-guided event that allows homeowners and potential homebuyers to see a wide variety of green building features in new homes.
