Description
Located on Preston HwyWe are pleased to present 11.13 acres of Heavy Industrial (I-G) zoned land along Preston Highway in Lebanon Junction, Kentucky, an accessible and versatile site along the I-65 corridor between Louisville and Elizabethtown.
The site offers approximately 1,800 linear feet of frontage on Preston Highway (US-31E) and sits less than half a mile from I-65 Exit 105, with direct exposure to nearly 15,000 daily commercial truck movements on the interstate. The parcel's topography ranges from 448 to 467 feet in elevation with grades between 0.0% and 6.9%, lending itself naturally to outdoor storage, equipment staging, and ground-up industrial development.
The property's I-G (Industrial) zoning is among the most permissive industrial designations in Bullitt County, accommodating a broad range of by-right uses from heavy manufacturing and fabrication to bulk storage, processing, and trans-loading operations. Given the site's size, road frontage, topography, and interstate proximity, it is particularly well-suited for IOS (Industrial Outdoor Storage) users seeking to park, stage, and maintain truck fleets, trailers, containers, and heavy equipment.
Note: A portion of the property falls within a FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone AE). This is disclosed in the interest of full transparency, and prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to engage a licensed civil engineer or land planner to evaluate site development options and potential mitigation strategies. Flood designation does not preclude all forms of industrial use, and the higher-elevation northern portion of the site presents meaningful development opportunity.
