About this home

Rare opportunity combining income-producing rentals and development potential in Charlotte's booming Steele Creek corridor. Recently approved N1-C zoning and a completed 17-unit subdivision sketch plan by Urban Design Partners (February 2026) position this 2.58-acre parcel for immediate development under Charlotte's UDO compact residential standards. The sketch plan accommodates a mix of single-family, duplex, and triplex configurations at 6.6 DUA, served by a new public street — with all setbacks, green area, driveway ratios, and stormwater controls meeting current UDO requirements. Unit designs support two-car garages. The site offers 360+ ft of Zoar Road frontage on mostly cleared, gently sloping terrain. Multiple meetings with Charlotte Water confirm gravity sewer extension feasibility (~400 ft from site), and public water is available at frontage. Three existing short-term rental units generate $60K+ annually, providing holding income during development. A Tiny Capsule Home on-site is available for separate purchase. Located minutes from Palisades, Lake Wylie, and the SC border, the site benefits from NCDOT's $138M NC-160 widening (SC line to I-485) — now in active ROW acquisition with construction targeted 2028–2030. This corridor serves 30,000+ daily vehicles, and the upgrade to a 4–6 lane divided highway will significantly enhance access and long-term value.
