Property Description

This approximately 5.32-acre commercial opportunity sits on Blue Star Highway (US 301), the former site of the well-known Jarratt Motel and Restaurant that served travelers through the 1960s. The property includes one 4.22-acre parcel zoned Commercial/Industrial together with an additional 1.1-acre parcel zoned Single Family Residential, offered as a single package. Located roughly one mile from Interstate 95 with direct frontage (1100+ ft) on the four-lane Blue Star Highway and crossover access, the site enjoys strong visibility along a proven north-south travel corridor between Petersburg and Emporia. The Commercial/Industrial zoning on the primary tract provides flexibility for a range of uses such as retail, restaurant, office, warehouse, light industrial, contractor yard, or other service-oriented businesses, while the included residential parcel adds options for owner housing or employee quarters (buyer to verify all permitted uses and development requirements with local authorities). With cleanup, it would offer a blank slate for new construction and business development in a high-traffic highway location. This is an attractive opportunity for an owner-user, developer, or investor seeking established commercial frontage with convenient interstate access and room to build a new operation from the ground up.
