1129 Thomas Jefferson Rd, Forest, VA 24551

Prime Dual-Building Commercial Opportunity in Forest, VA Two Buildings on One Parcel | High Visibility | Price Recently Reduced to $1,175,000

This is a standout investment and owner-user opportunity in one of Central Virginia’s fastest-growing corridors. Located at 1129 Thomas Jefferson Road (with buildings addressed at 1179 Thomas Jefferson Road and 1296 Burnbridge Road) in Forest, Virginia, the property sits on a 0.78-acre parcel with strong road frontage and visibility on both Thomas Jefferson Road (Route 811) and Burnbridge Road — just one block from the major US Route 221 corridor.

The Assets

• Main Building (~6,885 SF, built 2007): Modern masonry construction with energy-efficient ICF poured concrete. Features a spacious open floor plan, 5 private offices, conference room, kitchen area, laundry room, and restrooms (1 full + 2 half baths). Includes an unfinished 1,600 SF mezzanine with private entrance for future expansion or additional income. Currently owner-occupied by the successful Winey Chicks Boutique (retail + office use) — perfect for continued owner-user operation or a leaseback arrangement.
• Cottage Building (1,830 SF, originally 1907 / renovated): Charming two-story Victorian with 5 offices and 1 full bath. Previously occupied by a massage studio and currently available for lease — immediate income potential or flexible space for your own team.

37 paved parking spaces, public water and sewer, and C-2 zoning that supports a wide variety of retail, personal services, professional office, and other commercial uses.

Location & Market Strengths

Forest, VA is a thriving bedroom community to Lynchburg with excellent demographics and steady growth:

• Strong population base (≈58,350 within 5 miles)
• Solid median household incomes
• High-traffic exposure along Thomas Jefferson Road and near the busy US 221 corridor

The combination of visibility, parking, utilities, and flexible zoning makes this property highly adaptable for retail, medical/professional offices, personal services, or mixed-use concepts.

Why This Deal Stands Out

• Dual income/occupancy flexibility: Keep the main building for your business and lease the cottage, or reposition the entire asset.
• Value-add & upside: Lease-up the vacant cottage, finish the mezzanine, or explore other C-2 permitted uses.
• Recently price-reduced to $1,175,000 — exceptional value for the location, improvements, and potential in a high-growth secondary market.

Whether you’re an investor looking for cash flow plus appreciation or an owner-user seeking a well-located headquarters with room to grow, this property delivers immediate utility and long-term upside.
