Approximately 21.7 acres of development opportunity with the Murphy, NC city limits, zoned H-B Highway Business, with access to public water and sewer, and proximity to the area's primary commercial corridor. The property offers significant flexibility for a variety of commercial and residential development concepts. H-B zoning incorporates permitted uses within both the G-B General Business and R-2 High Density Residential districts, creating a broad range of potential uses. Permitted uses include multifamily residential, retail, restaurants, hotels and motels, professional and medical offices, financial institutions, service businesses, storage and warehousing, certain manufacturing uses, and other commercial applications. Group developments and manufactured home parks are among uses requiring special approval. Public water and sewer availability and capacity have been verbally confirmed with the Town of Murphy, and a recorded easement provides for utility access. Buyers should independently verify utility capacity, connection requirements, zoning, permitted uses, acreage, and suitability for their intended development. The property is located near Murphy's established retail, dining and service areas, with convenient access to Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino & Hotel and downtown Murphy. Murphy's location provides regional access to western North Carolina, north Georgia and east Tennessee, including Blue Ridge and Blairsville, GA, and Franklin, NC, with general aviation access available at Western Carolina Regional Airport in nearby Andrews. Few properties of this scale within Murphy combine Highway Business zoning with public water and sewer availability and access to an established commercial market. The range of permitted commercial and multifamily uses creates multiple paths for development, whether the vision is housing, hospitality, retail, service-oriented commercial development, or a larger mixed-use concept.
