Property Description

Highway-front land beside a newly approved 524-unit apartment community. 3816 US Highway 411 South, Maryville, is about 4.12 acres in the Suburbanizing (S) district, with roughly 213 feet of frontage on US 411 South and an existing turn lane. City water is on the property. Two septic systems serve the existing homes. Sewer is expected with the adjacent Gross Residential project at 3652 US 411 South, which the Blount County Board of Zoning Appeals approved in July 2026 for 524 units on 41.11 acres near the US 129 interchange. The best use is a small highway commercial, or resident-service building aimed at those new households and the existing 411 traffic. Under Section 9.1.C, a commercial use allowed in the county Commercial district can be requested as a special exception if it has arterial or collector frontage, sits on at least one acre, is housed in a building of no more than 4,000 square feet and two stories, and is buffered from adjoining residential land. That cap fits a pad site, not a center: a convenience store with or without fuel, coffee or a small restaurant, a medical, dental, or vet office, a laundromat, or general retail. Convenience with fuel and a coffee or quick-service restaurant are the strongest match. Day care is a separate special exception under Section 9.1.B and is a direct fit for a 524-unit community. All of those require Board of Zoning Appeals approval and site-plan review. They are not permitted by right.If city sewer is extended, the same district also allows multifamily by special exception, up to 6.2 units per gross acre on public sewer, or up to 13 units per acre for a high-density multifamily planned development with direct frontage and primary access on Highway 411 South and city sewer. On the existing septic systems, density is capped at 1.2 units per gross acre. Sewer service for this parcel is not confirmed.Two doublewide manufactured homes are on the site and convey. Sellers are not clearing them before closing. Front setback on an arterial is 60 feet from the right-of-way for a principal arterial and 40 feet for a major arterial. A special exception also carries a 20-foot side setback and a 40-foot rear setback. The buyer should verify the road classification, septic layouts with Blount County Environmental Health, the sewer extension, TDOT access, and BZA requirements.
