Offered for sale: a 1, 763 sq ft commercial building situated on a high-visibility 2.17-acre lot directly off US Highway 701, just outside of Whiteville, NC. Zoned B-3 with an average daily traffic count of approximately 10, 000 (RPR 2024), this property offers exceptional exposure and accessibility for a wide range of commercial uses. Previously operating as a veterinary practice, the layout is ideal for an animal-focused business such as a veterinary hospital or clinic, pet grooming or boarding facility, animal shelter, or doggie daycare. The stand-alone building includes a welcoming reception and waiting area, two exam rooms, a former x-ray room, multiple kennels and cages, and 1.5 bathrooms. A large fenced-in area and detached storage building add to the functionality of the site, while ample parking is available on the side and rear of the property. Important note: a portion of the original front parking lot is being acquired by the NC DOT via eminent domain to accommodate a road widening project. However, there is ample space on the 2.17-acre lot to relocate and expand parking as needed. The property is currently on well and septic, with city water and sewer available directly across the street for future connection. The building and land are being sold separately from the veterinary business and equipment, which are available for purchase but not included in the listing price. Located less than a mile from Walmart, Food Lion, restaurants, and major retailers, the property is well-positioned for continued commercial growth. It lies at the crossroads of US 701, US 74, and US 76, offering convenient access to Lake Waccamaw (16 mi), Lumberton (36 mi), Ocean Isle Beach (40 mi), Wilmington (51 mi), and Myrtle Beach (52 mi). With its strategic location, flexible zoning, and existing infrastructure, this commercial opportunity is ideal for investors, business owners, or entrepreneurs looking to tap into the growing market in southeastern NC.
