DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN SOUTH BOSTON, VA! Located in the established Merritt Hill neighborhood, this property offers 37 proposed residential building lots with significant infrastructure already in place! One of the property's biggest advantages is more than 3,300 linear feet of existing town water and sewer lines, providing a valuable head start for future development. Zoned R-1 Residential, the property offers potential access from three locations: Alexander Avenue, Pine Ridge Road, and Merritt Street. Dominion Energy and Xfinity/Comcast services are available in the area. The property adjoins both the middle school and high school properties and is conveniently located near downtown South Boston, shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, and other local amenities. The preliminary subdivision plat outlines 37 proposed residential lots but has not been recorded. Roads have not been constructed, the terrain varies throughout the property, and additional site development will be required. With existing public water and sewer infrastructure, residential zoning, multiple potential access points, and a convenient location, this property presents an opportunity for a builder or developer looking to establish a residential community in South Boston. Bring your plans and explore the possibilities!
