The unique Columbus Club of Durham is for sale and offers many opportunities for organizations, investors, or developers!

Located near the townships of Cascades and Schley, the Columbus Club of Durham was established in 1959 as a non-profit social and civic club for its members and the community.  Over the many years since the club’s inception, hundreds of people have lived, laughed, swam, and fished at this multiuse property, and many civic organizations have enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere that its grounds provide.  Now it is time for the next chapter of this historic recreational property!
