About this home

Great opportunity to own a . 36-acre city lot with existing utilities and a ready-to-build homesite. The property includes a house that is not considered livable and is currently being used for storage, along with two additional storage buildings. An aerator septic system was replaced approximately four years ago, and city utilities are available on the property, making this an excellent option for a new construction home or manufactured home (subject to local zoning and permitting requirements). With valuable infrastructure already in place, this property offers a great opportunity for builders, investors, or anyone looking for a convenient homesite outside the city limits.

About Southern

Hills

Southern Hills, located between Ritter Park and the Huntington Museum of Art, is a residential and hillside Huntington neighborhood with winding streets and wooded slopes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Norway Avenue near the park edge, where joggers, dog-walkers, and porch-lit blocks set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Ritter Park’s rose garden and walking paths act as an outdoor living room, while the Huntington Museum of Art adds a quiet cultural counterpoint above the trees. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and traditional homes tucked into the terrain. Views open and close with the hills, giving everyday errands a scenic backdrop. Marshall University and downtown sit nearby for campus energy and dining without changing the neighborhood’s calm cadence.
