Overview
The site is located just off Manchester Expressway in Muscogee County, Georgia. Public remarks indicate that Muscogee County now requires a 2-acre minimum lot size for a car lot, which makes the existing grandfathered use an important consideration. Viewing is available by appointment, as the business is currently in operation.
For buyers or operators seeking an auto sales setup, the property’s existing grandfathered car lot use and parking-ready, concrete surface are practical fit factors. The combination of a small building and on-site parking can support a range of dealership-adjacent needs, while the option to add a residential-zoned lot may help with overflow or storage-style uses. Interested parties should plan on scheduling an appointment to confirm current conditions and access during business hours.
