Property Description
This exceptional 8.7-acre light commercial property at Interchange Road in Lehighton, PA, presents a unique investment opportunity with significant development potential. Situated on 2 prime corner lots with high traffic visibility along busy Route 209, the location offers unparalleled exposure for a variety of commercial ventures. Strategically positioned directly across from the renowned Country Junction, "the World's Largest General Store," and the Waldorf Hotel, the property benefits from substantial existing customer traffic and area attractions. Historically, this site served as a beloved community park in the 1940s, featuring a picnic area, refreshment stands, a train ride, a bandstand, and a playground, imbuing it with a rich local heritage. Acquired in late 1968, it was subsequently converted into a trailer park, with the original refreshment stand reimagined as a two-bedroom bungalow. The property includes three valuable sign permits located at the prominent corner of Forest Inn Road and Route 209, generating additional rental income from a month-to-month tenant. The existing two-bedroom bungalow, while functional as a business office, retail space, or a rental unit, requires new flooring and cosmetic enhancements to maximize its income potential. The lots are characterized by a partially wooded section, a cleared field area, and a flat topography, offering diverse possibilities for future development. Several sheds on the property are also present, which would benefit from renovation or removal. This offering is ideal for investors seeking a strategically located parcel with both immediate income streams and substantial long-term growth prospects in a high-demand commercial corridor. Total Taxes and assessment are combined for both lots and are low! Call now to schedule a private tour!
