About this home

Position your brand where the mountains meet the interstate. This 2± acre C-2 Highway Business site sits directly off Exit 11 in Mars Hill, capturing travelers and locals with unmatched two-direction I-26 exposure. Heading north, it’s the last full-view stop before Burnsville or Johnson City; heading south, it’s the last full-view stop before Asheville—perfect for destination signage, quick stops, and convenience-driven uses. Nearby demand drivers include Mars Hill University (1,000 students) and a local base of 2,200 residents, with two new multi-unit subdivisions along Crossroads Parkway adding rooftops and daily-needs trips to the trade area. The C-2 district is designed for businesses that rely on automotive traffic and major-highway frontage. Permitted uses include automobile sales & service, automobile service stations, farm equipment sales, retail & service businesses, motels/hotels, restaurants/QSR, banks & financial services, professional offices, funeral homes, animal hospitals/veterinary, taxi/bus stations, car wash, laundries, contractors, electrical, public facilities, indoor amusement/entertainment, tattoo studios, and shopping centers by special use. (Buyer to verify specific plans with the Town of Mars Hill.) With interstate-scale visibility, this tract fits a single flagship user, multi-pad layout, or hospitality concept. Add strong signage, design efficient access, and let the corridor do the marketing for you. Utilities: City water, sewer, and natural gas available; buyer must apply & receive approval from Town officials for annex into the City limits, prior to water/sewer connections (Verify availability/capacity, taps, and fees). Town of Mars Hill Zoning Ordinance file is available in the attachments.
