INVESTORS, ENTREPRENEURS & VISIONARIES — THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL BELTON PROPERTY!
Built in 1878 and located just one block from the Bell County Courthouse, 400 S Main Street offers a rare combination of historic character, income potential, location, and exceptional flexibility in the heart of Belton.
The property features a 1,954 sq. ft. historic main home plus a detached 486 sq. ft. cottage currently producing rental income. The cottage includes its own kitchen and bathroom, private courtyard, and separate water and electric meters.
What truly sets this property apart is its location within Belton's Imagine Belton Main Street Zone. The property's existing residential use is grandfathered, while the Main Street Zone provides opportunities for a variety of permitted uses including live-work, office, retail, dining, personal services, artisan food and beverage, entertainment, and overnight accommodations.
Imagine the possibilities: continue enjoying this historic property as a residence, create a professional office, boutique, live-work concept, retail space, overnight accommodation concept, or explore another creative investment opportunity — all while preserving the character of a property that has been part of Belton since 1878.
The main structure has previously served as both a residence and law office, demonstrating the versatility that makes this property especially compelling.
With Downtown Belton, the Bell County Courthouse, Nolan Creek, restaurants, shops, and community activity nearby, this isn't simply an opportunity to purchase a historic home.
It's an opportunity to own a piece of Belton history — and decide what its next chapter will be.
