A High-Visibility Location on US Highway 301

One of the most important considerations when purchasing commercial real estate is location.

This property sits directly on US Highway 301, one of the major north-south routes through this part of Florida. The site offers approximately 329 feet of paved road frontage, giving the property strong visibility and convenient access.

The listing also notes that a traffic signal is planned in front of the nearby Love's Travel Stop and this property, which could further influence traffic flow and accessibility in the area.

For businesses that depend on visibility, customer access, deliveries, or commercial vehicle traffic, highway frontage can be a significant advantage.

Two Commercial Buildings Included

The property includes two separate commercial buildings, giving a future owner multiple possibilities for operations, storage, customer-facing space, or a combination of uses.

Front Commercial Building

The front building contains approximately 2,896 square feet.

Its location toward US Highway 301 creates an opportunity for a customer-facing commercial operation with direct exposure to passing traffic.

The existing business has used the space for products including feed, hay, parts, fencing, and work boots, illustrating the property's ability to accommodate retail and commercial activity.

The inventory currently associated with the business is not included in the $2,000,000 asking price, although the listing states that it may be negotiated separately.

Nearly 5,000 Square Feet of Warehouse and Shop Space

Behind the front building is a substantial metal storage building, warehouse, and shop measuring approximately 4,950 square feet.

The rear building is approximately 50 feet by 95 feet and includes several features that may be valuable to commercial users.

According to the listing, these include:

  • 400-amp electrical service
  • 3-phase power
  • Sprinkler system
  • Reinforced concrete flooring
  • Plumbing for two bathrooms
  • Metal roof
  • Additional apron area

For companies that require warehouse space, equipment storage, production areas, repair space, inventory storage, or other operational uses, these improvements make the property especially notable.

Why 3-Phase Power Matters for Commercial Property

One feature commercial buyers often look for is 3-phase electrical service.

Many types of commercial and industrial equipment operate more efficiently with 3-phase power than with standard residential electrical service. Depending on the business, this can be useful for machinery, motors, compressors, fabrication equipment, refrigeration, or other demanding electrical applications.

Because the rear building already has 400-amp, 3-phase electric service, a future buyer may be able to avoid some of the expense and complexity associated with adding that level of electrical infrastructure from scratch.

Buyers should still verify that the existing electrical system meets the requirements of their intended use.

1.72 Acres With Fenced Grounds

The two buildings are situated on approximately 1.72 acres.

The property is chain-link fenced, providing additional control over access and creating useful outdoor areas for storage, equipment, vehicles, or business operations, depending on permitted use.

The lot is described as cleared and located on a corner, adding another layer of accessibility and visibility.

Utilities Already Connected

Commercial buyers often have to spend significant time determining whether utilities are available at a property.

At 5616 SE US Highway 301, the listing indicates that the property has access to and connections for:

  • Electricity
  • Water
  • Sewer

That existing infrastructure may help make the property more practical for a buyer looking to establish or relocate a business.

As with any commercial acquisition, buyers should confirm available capacity, connection details, zoning requirements, and suitability for their particular operation during due diligence.

Potential Uses for a Property Like This

The combination of highway exposure, two buildings, warehouse space, electrical capacity, fenced grounds, and acreage creates flexibility.

Depending on zoning, permitting, and other regulatory requirements, a property with these characteristics may appeal to buyers looking for space for:

  • Retail operations
  • Warehouse and distribution
  • Equipment or material storage
  • Contractor operations
  • Service businesses
  • Parts or supply sales
  • Commercial workshops
  • Light industrial activity
  • Showroom and warehouse combinations
  • Business headquarters with storage

The right use will depend on the buyer's plans and applicable regulations, so prospective purchasers should verify zoning and permitted uses with the appropriate local authorities.

A Commercial Opportunity in Hawthorne, Florida

Hawthorne offers access to several North Florida markets while maintaining a smaller-community setting.

For businesses serving Alachua County and surrounding areas, a US Highway 301 location can provide connectivity to communities throughout the region.

Commercial properties that combine road frontage, warehouse space, power infrastructure, existing utilities, fenced land, and more than one building can be difficult to duplicate without substantial development costs.

That is what makes this property particularly worth considering.
