This property is a tremendous opportunity for a commercial development project. The total parcel includes 2.5 acres with two structures and utility shed sold as-is. It benefits from its convenient location in Port Wentworth and its close proximity to major developments. A portion of the property is occupied by shrub wetland. It is surrounded by a myriad of development types – situated in a primarily residential area but also adjacent to multiple industrial complexes. There are several amenities accessible within a short drive including shopping and dining, a community park, boat ramps, hospitals and the international airport. Easy access to the major transportation routes of I-95, Highway 21, and Jimmy Deloach Pkwy. Currently zoned residential but has potential to be rezoned and used for commercial use.
