There is no zoning, making this property an extraordinary opportunity for additional improvements such as barns, barndominiums, tiny homes, cabins, etc.. The cemetery is a private family cemetery considered abandoned by Rowan County, who maintains it yearly. According to the sellers they've seen no visitors in four years. Their understanding is that they legally must allow access to it, but how that looks is between the owner of the property and any surviving family member. The county maintains Ditney Ridge Road all the way to the cemetery. After that point, the road is the owner's responsibility.
