🚨 Land Shocker: The $250,000 Mistake Happening Right Now in Yorktown 🚨May 16, 2025 | By Thomas SantoreYou won't believe what I found on Drive #7 this week.A vacant parcel in Yorktown—untouched, overlooked, and priced like it's 2015—just quietly changed hands… and nobody blinked.Why does this matter?Because that land is surrounded by homes valued at $1.2M+. Because it's got town water, gentle grade, and backs to forever-wild. And because the buyer? They weren’t a builder. Not a local. Not even an agent.

One Town, Ten Drives: Yorktown – Day 10“The Overlook” – Closing the LoopFor the final day of this Yorktown land series, I chose a route that rises—literally and figuratively. I drove past Huntersville, past where the lots thin out and the rock outcrops begin to frame the road, and up toward what some locals call “The Overlook.” It’s not a public point or trailhead, just a bend in the road with a commanding view—where you realize Yorktown is layered, both in topography and potential.This drive reminded me that land isn’t static. It has history, inertia, and untapped potential. Some parcels I saw on Day 1 now look different in my mind. After ten days of boots on the ground, I can tell you which lots hold water, which slope too sharply for a slab foundation, and which ones might hide stone... 05/12/2025
