ABOUT LEE COUNTY, NC

An early railroad line in the 1800s made the area a thriving hub for commerce, with tobacco, furniture, brick, and textiles sales flourishing well into the next century. That strong economic backbone of a robust and diversified industry continues today, with many different products made in Lee County. This mix of businesses contributes to its stable and thriving economy. The county also contains the state's most concentrated natural gas and oil reserves.

Although Lee County has a blend of commercial, residential, and industrial development, the overall feel of the county is rural. The lush, green landscape dominates the area. All of that wide-open natural green space means plenty of outdoor recreation possibilities, such as hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, and playing in one of the many rivers, creeks, and lakes that enrich the area.

Most of the towns in Lee County are relatively small. The largest city is Sanford, which is the county seat. Although it's the largest city in Lee County, it's still not a huge metropolis, with only about 30,000 people living there.

For real estate shoppers, the county has a wide range of properties to choose from. There are sprawling plots of land that cover as many as 175 wooded acres that can be used for hunting or developing. You can also find exquisitely planned communities with custom homes along a golf course or lake.

There are many different properties in Lee County, such as undeveloped rustic lots with simple two-bedroom homes or something larger like a 3,500-square-foot four-bedroom luxury lakefront house.

Just about any style of property, you may be looking for can be found in Lee County, including commercial properties, modest homes, undeveloped plots of land, and luxury houses.
