    This two-plus-acre tract is an exceptional investment for commercial, residential, or mixed-use development.

Another option might be a condominium/townhome development, the zoning allows up to 5 unites/acre which gives the possibility for 10 units based on the acreage.

Two accesses are already existing from Ransom Street for multiple options. A key amenity is the easy short walk directly into charming downtown Blowing Rock and its popular attractions benefiting future residents and guests.
