Commercial Real Estate for Sale in Upstate SC

Commercial activity in the Upstate follows the interstates. I-85 between Greenville and Spartanburg carries the industrial and distribution demand, with BMW and its supplier network anchoring most of it; retail and office concentrate around the two downtowns and the Highway 9 and Fairview Road corridors.

Commercial runs on different diligence than residential — zoning and permitted use, environmental history, existing leases and their remaining terms, and what a building can actually be converted to. Tell us what you are trying to do and we will scope the search.

4329922 MLS Perry Farm BLDG.
Presenting an exceptional 63-acre commercial development opportunity in the heart of Mills River, North Carolina. One of Western North Carolina’s fastest-growing and most strategically positioned commercial and industrial markets. Located at 32 School House Road, this expansive tract offers a unique combination of scale, zoning versatility, access to public utilities, and proximity to major regional transportation assets. Zoned MR-NC (Neighborhood Commercial), the property supports a wide array of commercial, service-oriented, and mixed-use development possibilities, with the potential for rezoning or conditional approvals for larger commercial or industrial concepts. This flexibility makes the site highly attractive for investors, developers, and end-users seeking a significant presence in a market experiencing sustained industrial and commercial demand. A key feature that sets this property apart is the availability of public water and sewer located adjacent to the tract—a rarity in Mills River, where many large parcels lack utility access. The presence of municipal utilities greatly enhances the development potential and substantially reduces upfront infrastructure costs. The land itself is primarily flat and usable, offering broad, functional acreage suitable for commercial campuses, retail and service centers, flex-industrial development, warehousing, light manufacturing, logistics, research facilities, or mixed-use clusters, subject to Town of Mills River requirements and approvals. The site’s layout and topography provide numerous options for phased development, subdivision, or a single large-scale commercial project. Mills River has emerged as a powerhouse for industrial and commercial activity due to its central location between Asheville, Hendersonville, and Brevard, as well as its immediate proximity to Interstate 26, U.S. 280, and the Asheville Regional Airport. National and international companies—including Sierra Nevada Brewing, Amazon, FedEx, Pepsi, GF Linamar, and others have invested heavily in this corridor, drawn by excellent transportation access, a stable workforce, logistics advantages, and a pro-business regulatory environment. Industrial and commercial land absorption in Mills River has outpaced supply for years, creating strong long-term value and making large contiguous tracts with utility access increasingly scarce. An old 1850’s colonial home remains on the property; however, it is considered to have no contributory value and is not expected to affect redevelopment plans. The highest and best use of the site lies overwhelmingly in its commercial and industrial potential. With its combination of location, visibility, access, utilities, and sheer acreage, this property represents one of the most compelling development opportunities currently available in Western North Carolina. Whether your vision is a corporate campus, industrial park, commercial center, or an investment hold for future appreciation, 32 School House Road delivers the fundamentals that developers and end-users seek—location strength, infrastructure, zoning flexibility, and market momentum. This is a rare chance to control a legacy-sized tract in a thriving commercial hub poised for continued long-term growth.

This 21.72-acre potential income-producing farm property offers a rare opportunity to combine business operations, rental income, and future development in a highly desirable foothills location of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The property provides a rural, private setting while remaining conveniently close to top-rated schools, shopping, medical facilities, and the major recreation and tourism draws of Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, and Lake Hartwell—supporting both local and destination-based business opportunities. At the front of the property is a 1,700+ sq ft established pet grooming facility known as “The Poodle House.” Purpose-built for grooming, breeding, boarding, and training, this turnkey structure includes a 19x15 grooming/laundry room, 8 custom built-in kennels, a full bath in the primary suite, and a large half bath with sufficient space to add a shower, allowing for two full baths. The building’s layout and utilities make it well-suited for continued pet/animal services, retail storefront, professional office, short- or long-term rental, or conversion to a permanent residence. Supporting expanded operations is a 40x80 highly insulated commercial-grade shop featuring two oversized garage doors, a storage room, and an additional half bath/laundry room. Attached to the shop is a chain-link fenced area, ideal for secure outdoor operations or additional animal containment. The shop also contains an 800 sq ft, passive solar, one-bedroom apartment, double insulated and fully equipped with a full kitchen, full bath, and separate living area—perfect for on-site management, employee housing, or rental income. An RV site with full utility hookups further increases flexibility and revenue potential. A separate septic tank services the shop and RV spot. The land itself is a valuable asset, sitting atop a sun-exposed grassy knoll with multiple established and potential revenue streams. Currently operated as a working farm with Katahdin sheep, chickens, and a permaculture garden area, the property features natural creeks and springs, is fully fenced, and includes portable fencing for rotational grazing or diversified livestock operations. With multiple additional build sites, this property is well positioned for future expansion, multi-structure development, family or workforce compound, or additional rental units. Its combination of usable acreage, existing infrastructure, and proximity to major recreational destinations makes it ideal for entrepreneurs or owner-operators seeking a scalable rural business property with strong long-term potential.
