Rare opportunity to acquire approximately 10 acres of commercially zoned land with significant development potential in a highly visible location just outside the Town of Rising Sun in Cecil County. The rectangular parcel offers over a thousand feet of frontage along Route 273 (Telegraph Road) at Wilson Road, providing excellent visibility and convenient access. Zoned BG (General Business), the property offers a wide range of potential commercial uses, subject to zoning and regulatory approvals. The site is strategically positioned directly across Route 273 from a Ford dealership and immediately adjacent to Plumpton Park Zoo, providing an established commercial and recreational presence in the immediate area. The property’s size, configuration, substantial Route 273 frontage, and prominent location make it an attractive opportunity for a variety of commercial development concepts. The site is currently unimproved and will require a private well and septic system. With its combination of location, visibility, acreage, and commercial zoning, this property represents a compelling opportunity for developers, investors, and businesses looking to establish a presence along one of the area’s key transportation corridors. * Owner is a licensed agent
