This 5.9-acre commercial opportunity in Iredell County is positioned within the Neighborhood Business (NB) zoning district, offering one of the most flexible and development-friendly zoning classifications in the area. Located just 1 mile from I-77 and under 15 minutes to Lake Norman State Park, the property sits in a growing corridor with strong visibility, convenient access, and increasing demand for neighborhood-level commercial services. The NB zoning allows for a wide range of commercial, institutional, and mixed-use applications, including professional and medical offices, retail shops, restaurants, service-based businesses, financial institutions, daycare facilities, fitness and recreation centers, event venues, churches, schools, and a variety of specialty and neighborhood-serving uses. This creates significant flexibility for developers, investors, and owner-users seeking to establish or expand a commercial footprint without the delays of rezoning. Two existing structures—116 & 128 Lipe Rd—convey with the property and currently generate rental income, providing immediate holding income during the entitlement or redevelopment phase. Both homes require renovation, offering a strategic opportunity to stabilize, reposition, or convert the existing structures into commercial or office-style uses permitted under NB zoning. The site is supported by existing well and septic infrastructure and features mostly cleared acreage, reducing upfront development costs and providing a strong foundation for phased or full-scale commercial buildout. The configuration allows for multiple development scenarios, including retail strip concepts, professional office space, service-based commercial pads, or mixed-use neighborhood commercial planning. With strong roadway access, proximity to major commuter routes, and expanding residential development nearby, the property is well-positioned for neighborhood commercial absorption and long-term appreciation. The zoning supports both immediate income-producing use and future redevelopment, allowing investors to strategically time development based on market demand. For investors, developers, or end users seeking commercial land with income, infrastructure, and broad entitlement flexibility, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure a highly adaptable site in a high-growth area with strong long-term commercial upside.

This 5.9-acre investment opportunity checks every box for investors seeking immediate cash flow and long-term upside. Located just 1 mile from I-77 and under 15 minutes to Lake Norman State Park, this property sits in a high-demand rental corridor with strong tenant appeal and future commercial growth potential. Two income-producing homes—116 & 128 Lipe Rd—convey at closing, providing day-one rental income and reducing your holding costs from the start. Both homes do need some TLC, presenting a value-add opportunity for investors to renovate, increase rents, and build additional equity. Existing well and septic systems are already in place, and the mostly cleared acreage creates a streamlined path for expansion. Whether your goal is to increase doors, add additional rental units, or maximize density over time, this property is primed for scalability. The Neighborhood Business (NB) zoning adds significant value for investors. Continue operating as residential rentals while holding for appreciation, or position the property for future commercial or mixed-use development without the typical rezoning delays. This flexibility allows you to execute multiple exit strategies—cash flow, redevelopment, or resale—on your timeline. With convenient highway access and proximity to major employment areas and recreational destinations, the location supports consistent rental demand today while strengthening its appeal for future commercial tenants. For investors looking to build wealth through a combination of immediate income and long-term appreciation, this property offers a rare blend of stability, flexibility, and growth potential. Opportunities with existing cash flow, infrastructure in place, and favorable zoning are limited—this is one worth adding to your portfolio.
