A Little About Hildebran
Hildebran sits on the eastern edge of Burke County right on I-40, close enough to Catawba County that the ground has not fully turned to foothills yet. Parcels get larger and more rural as you move north from the interstate.
Why that matters on a job site
This is the easiest Burke County ground to work — closer to Piedmont clay than mountain rock — and it usually prices accordingly.
