Before you buy a lot near Cooleemee with a plan in mind, look at the Mocksville zoning map before anything else: the zoning district can make or break the plan. Covered here for Mocksville: which office sets the rules for a lot, how to match a parcel to its district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up.
