About this home

68 Circle Drive presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantially improved flex-industrial warehouse property in one of McDowell County's most desirable commercial corridors. Located in the Pleasant Gardens community of Marion, NC, this versatile property offers approx. 9,029 SF of warehouse, office, and flex space with convenient access to US Hwy 70, I-40, and the greater Western NC market. Extensively updated and thoughtfully configured, the property is ideal for an owner-user, investor, contractor, light manufacturing, distribution business, trade shop, or multi-tenant investment. The current layout offers exceptional flexibility with separate entrances, offices, and utility services. The warehouse features four overhead garage doors, including two full-glass doors that provide abundant natural light and a bright, modern work environment. Two loading docks allow efficient loading and unloading of equipment, inventory, and deliveries. Ownership has invested heavily in capital improvements. A premium Berridge Zee Lock standing seam metal roof and new shingle roof were installed in 2025. A brand-new flat roof was added in 2026, along with exterior paint. The property also completed a fire inspection in 2026, providing confidence in operational readiness. Power users will appreciate 3-phase electrical service and three separate power meters, creating flexibility for multiple tenants or high-demand operations. A standout feature is the newly completed efficiency apartment/executive office suite built in 2026. This space includes all-new appliances, full bath, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, washer/dryer, and beautiful mountain views. Ideal for an owner's suite, manager's office, employee housing, or additional income-producing space. The interior configuration can accommodate 3-4 tenant spaces and includes a front office with private restroom, warehouse office, warehouse half-bath, and an additional warehouse section with its own office and bathroom. Situated on approximately 0.50 acres with city water and an established commercial use history, the property provides quick access to Marion, Morganton, Asheville, and surrounding Western NC markets. Located in unincorporated McDowell County, the property appears to be unzoned. Buyer to verify all intended uses with McDowell County Planning. Potential uses include contractor headquarters, equipment storage, warehouse/distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, cabinet or woodworking shops, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, light manufacturing, service businesses, and a variety of owner-user or investment opportunities. Properties offering this combination of location, functionality, infrastructure, flexibility, and recent improvements rarely become available in the Pleasant Gardens market. 68 Circle Drive offers exceptional value and opportunity in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable growth corridors.
