Prime commercial opportunity in Stockbridge! This 1.7-acre property offers an impressive 1,080 feet of road frontage along Highway 42, giving it outstanding visibility, access, and exposure for a future business venture. Electricity, public water, natural gas, and public sewer are available at the street, adding to the site's development appeal. Reported as commercial C-3, this zoning aligns with Stockbridge's Heavy Commercial District, which is intended for higher-traffic commercial activity along major arterial roads and highway corridors. The city code specifically allows a broad mix of commercial uses in C-3, including uses permitted in C-2 plus options such as automobile brokers, automobile gasoline sales, major auto repair, building and lumber supply establishments, department stores, farmers markets, mini-warehouses/storage buildings without outdoor storage, retail warehouses/wholesales with outside storage, recreational vehicle/boat sales and service, trade shops, tattoo shops, and certain utility-related uses, with some uses like auto sales dealerships requiring additional approval. With its commercial zoning, long frontage, and strong highway presence, this tract could be appealing for a variety of business concepts such as retail, service-based businesses, showroom space, contractor-related uses, storage-oriented development, automotive-related concepts, or other commercial ventures, subject to city approval and buyer verification of intended use. The C-3 district standards also allow for meaningful development potential, with a minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet, 70% maximum lot coverage, and primary structure heights up to 45 feet, giving buyers room to explore a substantial commercial layout. The code's self-service storage standards may also be relevant for some buyers, since self-storage is allowed in C-3 subject to supplemental requirements. Beyond the site itself, the location is a strong draw. Stockbridge is positioned about 20 miles south of Atlanta with access to major travel corridors including I-75 and I-675, helping connect businesses to the broader metro market. The city is often described as the gateway to Henry County and continues to benefit from growth, hospitality, and commercial activity. Nearby larger-city access adds to the property's long-term appeal for investors, developers, and owner-users alike. For everyday convenience and family appeal, the area benefits from shopping, dining, hotels, and recreation, including nearby attractions such as Panola Mountain State Park and local community amenities in Stockbridge. Henry County Schools serves the area and is one of Georgia's larger school districts, with nearly 44,000 students across 53 schools, supporting the strong residential base that helps drive demand for commercial services. From an economic standpoint, Henry County continues to position itself for growth across sectors including advanced manufacturing, healthcare services, logistics, and distribution, and the Henry County Development Authority's mission is to attract, retain, and expand businesses that create jobs and investment in the area. That kind of ongoing economic activity can make well-located commercial land increasingly attractive over time. Overall, this is a rare chance to secure a commercially zoned tract with major road presence, utility access at the street, and flexible heavy-commercial potential in a growing South Metro Atlanta market. Whether for immediate development, a business location, or a long-term land investment, this property offers the visibility, scale, and location that make buyers take notice. Buyer should verify zoning classification, permitted uses, access, utility capacity, setbacks, and all development requirements with the City of Stockbridge.
