Rare 10-acre commercial opportunity offering exceptional flexibility for an investor, business owner, or developer. The property is comprised of 6 individual parcels, giving a buyer the option to operate the site as a whole, sell off parcels individually, or explore future subdivision for residential or commercial development. The land is flat and easy to work with throughout, making it well-suited for equipment operations, storage, staging, or new construction. Location is a major asset — the property is bordered by two main roads, one on each side, and sits just off the interstate, providing quick and easy access for trucks, heavy equipment, deliveries, and customer traffic alike. This kind of access is difficult to find and adds significant value for any commercial or industrial use. The property was formerly operated as a stump grinding facility for Evergreen Park, and the seller is including the on-site truck scale in the sale — a major advantage for a buyer looking to step directly into a stump dump, wood recycling, mulch production, or land-clearing debris operation without the added expense of purchasing and installing a scale system. The site is already set up for heavy vehicle traffic and material processing. Utilities are already in place with both city water and sewer available, along with a private septic system and well also on-site, giving a buyer flexibility depending on intended use. Improvements on the property include a 3-bay garage, ideal for equipment storage, a fleet of vehicles, or maintenance work; a large outdoor storage building suited for materials, inventory, or equipment; an older barn offering additional storage or workshop space; and a single-family house that is partially renovated. The home offers a great opportunity for a buyer to finish the renovation to their own specifications, whether for use as an on-site residence, office space, or rental income. With the truck scale, multiple outbuildings, dual utility access, flat usable acreage, and prime road/interstate frontage, this property is a rare turn-key opportunity for continued commercial use or future redevelopment. Six separate parcels also allow a buyer to structure a purchase or future resale in whatever way best suits their goals. Zoning information, parcel breakdowns, and additional details are available upon request. Serious inquiries welcome — schedule your private showing today to see the full potential of this unique offering.
