14+ Acres of Commercial Development Land
14.12 Acres with 375’ of Highway 2 Frontage | Two Buildings | Outside Bemidji City Limits
Marketing description
Prime Highway 2 commercial and development opportunity located just west of Bemidji in Eckles Township.
The property consists of two adjoining parcels totaling approximately 14.12 acres with 375 feet of frontage on US Highway 2, offering excellent visibility, easy access for heavy traffic, and no seasonal weight restrictions. Situated outside Bemidji city limits, the property benefits from lower taxes and fewer regulatory constraints while remaining minutes from Bemidji amenities and services.
The offering includes two buildings. The first is a 2,700 SF commercial shop, measuring approximately 36’ x 75’, constructed of red iron steel and fully refurbished in 2014. Improvements include new interior liner steel, upgraded insulation, new exterior steel, updated electrical with commercial wiring throughout, fiber telecommunications, and a fully plumbed pneumatic system with floor drains. The shop features a 12’ x 14’ overhead door, commercial openers, dual natural gas furnaces (100,000 BTU each) for redundancy, and a mezzanine area with compressed air stubbed for an air compressor. A ¾ bath with shower is located within the shop, and the building is fully insulated and heated for year-round use.
The second structure is a 3-bedroom residential home built in 1970, offering 1,396 SF of finished living space on the main level plus a 1,176 SF unfinished basement used for utilities and storage. The home features solid oak flooring on the main floor, a large mudroom with access to both the front and back yard, and a single-stall garage. The basement has a concrete floor and provides ample storage and mechanical space. The home is serviced by natural gas with a new Rheem furnace installed in 2022, a private well shared with the shop, and a separate septic system for the residence. The roof was replaced in 2016, and the home has been recently repainted.
The property is adjacent to Minnesota State Forest land to the west and offers trail access directly from the site, providing recreational opportunities including skiing and hunting. With level topography and sandy soils, the site is well-suited for additional construction or expansion.
This versatile property presents a rare opportunity for owner-users, investors, or developers seeking highway exposure, flexible land use, and multiple income or expansion options.
