LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! A rare opportunity to build in the very heart of downtown Damascus, Virginia--one of Southwest Virginia's most beloved outdoor destinations. Situated directly on Laurel Avenue and zoned Core Commercial, this building lot puts your vision right in the center of ''Trail Town USA,'' where locals, visitors, cyclists and hikers come together year-round! The location is hard to replicate. The Appalachian Trail runs directly through Damascus, while the renowned Virginia Creeper Trail brings cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts from across the country. The Iron Mountain Trail, Jefferson National Forest, Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, Laurel Creek and countless opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and exploring are all nearby. With downtown land increasingly difficult to find, this property presents a unique opportunity for a homeowner, entrepreneur, investor or developer looking for a highly visible location in a town built around outdoor recreation. Explore the possibilities allowed under Core Commercial zoning and create something uniquely suited to this vibrant mountain community. If you've been dreaming of building a new home in a historic town, this is your chance to embrace the Damascus lifestyle! Wake up and walk over to the charming, local coffee shop, take a stroll through town, hop on the trail for a hike or bike ride, cast a line in Laurel Creek, and end your day with a visit to a local restaurant--all without ever climbing into a car or sitting in traffic. Bring your plans and your builder and become part of the next chapter of downtown Damascus! Please note: Photos are of the lot and of nearby landmarks, businesses, and scenery in Downtown Damascus.
