Property Description

**PRIME C-3 COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY ON ROUTE 1 — APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE FROM KALAHARI RESORTS & CONVENTIONS!** Positioned along the growing Thornburg commercial corridor in Spotsylvania County, this 0.48-acre property offers approximately 78 feet of frontage on U.S. Route 1 (Patriot Highway), an existing 2,802-square-foot commercial building, and exceptional flexibility for investors, business owners, and entrepreneurs. Currently operating as Universal Auto Sales, an established used car dealership with approximately 19 years of operating history at this location, the property offers an opportunity to continue an automotive-related business or explore redevelopment and alternative commercial uses. **Zoned C-3 (Commercial Highway), one of Spotsylvania County's most flexible commercial zoning classifications**, the property offers a broad range of permitted commercial uses, including retail, restaurants, convenience stores, vehicle sales and service, professional offices, contractor businesses, indoor recreation, personal services, and more, subject to applicable zoning, site plan, and other county approvals. LOCATION IS THE OPPORTUNITY! Situated approximately one mile from the new Kalahari Resorts & Conventions development, scheduled to open in November 2026, this property is positioned near a major regional destination featuring 907 guest rooms, a 175,000-square-foot indoor waterpark, and 150,000 square feet of convention space. The surrounding corridor presents opportunities for businesses seeking exposure to resort visitors, convention attendees, local residents, and travelers along Interstate 95. Conveniently located minutes from I-95 Exit 118, the property combines an existing commercial building, established automotive use, highway frontage, and substantial C-3 zoning flexibility. **Continue the existing use, establish your own business, or evaluate the property's potential for future commercial redevelopment.** Opportunities to acquire smaller C-3 commercial parcels near major regional developments deserve a closer look. Buyers should independently verify permitted uses, existing dealership status, zoning requirements, utilities, and redevelopment feasibility with Spotsylvania County.
