0 Blanton Street, Columbus, NC 28722

Property Description

BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME — OR YOUR NEXT VENTURE — WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF DOWNTOWN COLUMBUS! This .57-ACRE CORNER LOT on Blanton Street offers a rare combination of in-town convenience and elbow room in the heart of Polk County, North Carolina. The property carries MIXED-USE ZONING, so in addition to a single-family residence it may support a range of other uses — think a home office, live/work setup, professional office, or small commercial concept (buyer to verify specific permitted uses with the Town of Columbus). CITY WATER AND SEWER ARE AVAILABLE, making this an easy, cost-effective build compared to rural parcels that require a well and septic system. The CORNER LOCATION provides two points of street access, added natural light, and flexible placement for a single-family home, a craftsman cottage, a low-maintenance ranch with a covered front porch, or a mixed-use build. The standout feature here is the WALKABLE LIFESTYLE. From Blanton Street you can stroll to historic downtown Columbus, the Polk County Courthouse square, Stearns Park, local coffee shops, restaurants, and the Columbus Farmers Market. The THERMAL BELT RAIL TRAIL runs nearby for walking, running, and biking, and the Polk County Recreation Complex offers ball fields and walking tracks. Columbus sits in the FOOTHILLS OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA with something to do in every direction. You are minutes from the TRYON INTERNATIONAL EQUESTRIAN CENTER, the Tryon Fine Arts Center, and FENCE (Foothills Equestrian Nature Center) with its miles of trails. Outdoor recreation abounds with PEARSON'S FALLS near Saluda, WHITEWATER PADDLING ON THE GREEN RIVER, hiking on White Oak Mountain, and fishing at Lake Lanier. Wine lovers can visit OVERMOUNTAIN VINEYARDS, Parker-Binns Vineyard, and Mountain Brook Vineyards, all within a short drive. Commuters and travelers benefit from QUICK ACCESS TO I-26, placing you about 35 minutes from Hendersonville, 45 minutes from Asheville, and 40 minutes from Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina. The Asheville Regional Airport is an easy drive. Level enough to build, close enough to walk, connected to city utilities, and flexible enough for residential or mixed-use plans — this Columbus corner lot is ready for your vision.
