High-Visibility ±1.61-Acre Commercial Corner in Winder
Marketing description
936 Bethlehem Road offers a highly visible ±1.61-acre commercial corner at the intersection of Bethlehem Road and Hog Mountain Road/Highway 53 in Winder, Georgia. With exposure along two established roadways and a prominent corner configuration, the property presents an attractive opportunity for neighborhood retail, convenience-oriented commercial, professional office, medical office, restaurant, or service-based development.
A Level III Soil Survey dated May 7, 2026, evaluated the entire 1.61-acre tract for potential on-site wastewater disposal. Nine soil borings identified Cecil and Pacolet soil series, both assigned a Suitability Code “A.” According to the report, these soils are well drained, free of significant limitations, and should be capable of accommodating conventional absorption fields when properly designed, installed, and maintained.
The soil evaluation reported no indication of hard rock or seasonal groundwater within 72 inches at the tested locations. Estimated percolation rates were approximately 50 to 60 minutes per inch, with recommended trench depths of 24 to 36 inches. These findings provide useful preliminary support for development in an area where access to an on-site wastewater system may be important.
The property also benefits from convenient access to Georgia Highway 316, connecting Barrow County with the Atlanta metropolitan area, Gwinnett County, and Athens. Its dual-road visibility, surrounding residential base, soil findings, and conceptual development potential make 936 Bethlehem Road a compelling opportunity for an owner-user, developer, or commercial investor.
The soil survey is encouraging, but it does not constitute an approved septic permit or guarantee a particular commercial wastewater capacity. Final feasibility will depend on the proposed use, wastewater volume, system design, reserve-area requirements, setbacks, and approval by the Georgia Department of Public Health and local Environmental Health Department.
The survey also states that its boundary and mapped features are not survey-accurate. Additionally, the soil table lists slope ranges of 10%–20%, while the property map labels the Cecil and Pacolet areas as 0%–5%. I recommend avoiding a specific slope representation in the brochure until the soil consultant confirms that discrepancy.
