48980 Rabun Rd Bay Minette, AL 36507

This 0.74-acre corner parcel of unzoned commercial development land is located in Bay Minette, Alabama, within one of Baldwin County's active growth corridors. The site offers approximately 345 feet of paved frontage on the four-lane Highway 287/Rabun Road and Ransom Stewart Lane. The property benefits from strong demographics, high visibility, and steady traffic flow. It is situated just 0.5 miles from the Novelis low-carbon aluminum plant at the 3,000-acre South Alabama Mega Site, which is projected to employ over 1,000 workers. The Oak View RV Park, featuring 116 full-hookup sites, is located between this property and Novelis, positioning the site along a path of daily traffic. The location is approximately 4 miles from the approved Baldwin Beach Express II, a 25-mile divided highway that will link I-65 at Bay Minette to I-10 and the Gulf Coast, with a planned interchange at the Novelis facility. The unzoned status allows flexibility for commercial, retail, hospitality, light industrial, service, mixed, or even residential use. The property is located in an Opportunity Zone and SBA HUBZone, offering potential tax incentives and federal contracting advantages. It is also 2 miles from I-65. Highway 287 carries 10,637 AADT, reflecting a 6.8% year-over-year increase, while I-65 carries 21,595 daily vehicles, up 3.4%. Water and natural gas are available through North Baldwin Utilities. A $5 million infrastructure grant has been awarded to upgrade Highway 287 near the Novelis plant. Surrounding developments include the Old Towne Commons PUD, planned for 764 single-family lots, 392 multi-family units, and 47 acres of commercial space at full buildout, as well as a new Hilton-branded hotel and restaurants, the "31 Commons" retail and office center, Big Mike's Steakhouse, Cobblestone Hotel downtown, and Baldwin Preparatory Academy 20 minutes away. The site previously operated as a service station and contains four underground tanks; a removal quote is available and negotiable with offer.
