About this home
Positioned in a rapidly developing corridor, this 3+ acre property presents a compelling opportunity for investors, developers, or end users looking to capitalize on future growth. Currently zoned R-80, the property is uniquely surrounded by established light industrial uses, creating strong potential for future rezoning to commercial or light industrial uses, subject to applicable approvals. The mostly flat, cleared topography can help minimize site preparation costs and streamline the development process. Located just off the interstate, the property offers excellent accessibility and strategic positioning for a variety of potential commercial or industrial applications. Its convenient proximity to Downtown Ball Ground provides easy access to local amenities, a surrounding workforce, and supporting infrastructure. Adding immediate value, the property is currently income-producing with rental units in place, providing holding income while future plans, due diligence, and approvals are pursued. With limited acreage available in this growing corridor and surrounding development trending toward industrial uses, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire land with both current income and significant long-term upside potential. Whether you’re an investor seeking an income-producing asset, a developer planning for future commercial or industrial use, or an end user looking for a strategic location, this property is well positioned to benefit from continued growth. Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find—explore the possibilities today.
