899 Mills St Columbus, NC 28722

Listing details for 899 Mills St, Columbus, NC 28722 : Exciting Opportunity in Downtown Columbus – Prime Commercial Acreage at an Incredible Value - almost half of tax value!!! If you’ve been waiting for the right investment opportunity in one of Western North Carolina’s growing corridors, this is one you truly need to walk to appreciate. With a high traffic count, city water/sewer availability per seller/city, and a price point well below surrounding commercial opportunities, this property offers exceptional upside for investors, developers, business owners, or locals looking to secure land before continued growth pushes values even higher. Much of the initial groundwork and visioning has already been considered—it’s simply waiting for the right buyer to bring it to life. Whether you envision storage buildings, mixed-use concepts, affordable or senior housing, recreational facilities, office space, a youth complex, or something entirely unique, the versatility here is hard to find. One of the hidden gems of the property is the beautiful flatter area “up top,” which offers excellent potential for additional development and usability. Per local grading discussions, access from the main road to the upper section may be more feasible and affordable than many buyers would expect, creating even more opportunity to maximize the site. Conveniently positioned near Advent Health formally St. Luke’s Hospital with easy access to I-26, this location places you within reach of Charlotte, Asheville, Greenville/Spartanburg, and the continued growth flowing through Polk County. Future area improvements, including the Rails to Trails expansion and YMCA growth nearby, only add to the long-term appeal and traffic exposure! Check out all the other surrounding areas, if you're not familiar or call to discuss, if you want to know more! The property also features a creek along the backside, multiple usable areas, and flexibility for a variety of potential layouts and uses. Buyers are encouraged to explore possible grants, development incentives, lending programs, or investment structures that may be available for their intended project. Cash buyers, investors, and financed opportunities are all welcome to explore the possibilities here. Seller may consider splitting the right side of the property first when facing from the road—see additional MLS listings for related options. Buyers should always verify zoning, permitting, utility availability, intended use, and development plans with the County/City during due diligence. This is the kind of property people look back on and wish they had secured earlier. Call today to schedule your private showing and come walk the land for yourself!
