93 Benton  Drive, Canton
$1,900,000
4416080 MLS
Versatile multi-parcel commercial opportunity in unincorporated Haywood County, offering flexibility for an investor, business owner, or developer. The property is made up of 6 individual parcels totaling approximately 9.97 acres per a recent survey (county records currently reflect less acreage, as the survey has not yet been recorded), giving a buyer the option to hold and operate the site as a whole, sell parcels individually, or explore future subdivision, subject to county ordinances. The property is bordered by two roads, Benton Drive and Beaverdam Road, and sits just off the interstate, providing convenient access for trucks, equipment, deliveries, and customer traffic. The site was formerly operated as a stump grinding facility for Evergreen Park, and the seller is including the on-site truck scale in the sale. Improvements include a 3-bay garage suited to equipment storage or maintenance, a large outdoor storage building, an older barn for additional storage or workshop space, and a partially renovated single-family house that a buyer could finish for use as a residence, office, or rental. A private septic system and well are on site, and water and sewer service through the Town of Canton may be available, subject to the Town's requirements. Haywood County has no zoning. The property is not within the Town of Canton limits or ETJ and is not in a water-supply watershed. Development and use are governed by county land-use ordinances, so future uses, including any stump grinding, wood recycling, mulch, land-clearing debris, or trucking operations, will depend on site plan review and may be subject to the High Impact Ordinance, erosion control, and state or federal permits. Portions of the property are within the mapped floodway and 100-year floodplain, which limits what can be permitted in those areas, and flood maps are expected to be updated. Buyers should verify all uses, floodplain status, utilities, and permitting with Haywood County during due diligence. The county's written response and floodplain map are available in the documents section.
