Land For Sale • 33.68 AC
COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LAND FOR SALE | CADIZ ROAD CORRIDOR | HOPKINSVILLE, CHRISTIAN COUNTY, KENTUCKY Prime 33.68-acre commercial development site positioned at the intersection of US-68 (Cadiz Road) and KY-91 (Princeton Road) in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. This exceptional land offering benefits from a $19.8 million Kentucky Transportation Cabinet infrastructure investment (KYTC Item 2-899) with construction awarded January 2025. Commercial land value has been validated by an adjacent Dollar General transaction at $117,000 per acre from this same property. STATE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has committed $19.8 million to US-68 corridor improvements directly serving this property. The project scope includes design ($800,000), right-of-way acquisition ($2.19 million), utility relocation ($4.05 million), and construction ($12.79 million). All phases were authorized January 7, 2025, with construction awarded and work commencing. This state investment signals government confidence in the commercial viability of the Cadiz Road corridor and substantially reduces development risk for incoming tenants and investors. DEVELOPMENT TIMING ADVANTAGE Buyers acquiring during active infrastructure construction benefit from pre-completion pricing while positioning for post-improvement value capture. The $19.8 million KYTC corridor investment enhances access, visibility, and traffic flow—improvements that historically drive 15-25% commercial land premiums upon completion. Early-stage acquisition allows developers to complete entitlements and site planning concurrent with state construction, enabling vertical development immediately following infrastructure delivery. PROPERTY SPECIFICATIONS The subject property totals 33.68 acres (1,466,883 square feet) of level, development-ready terrain. Parcel ID 207-00 01 001.00 is located within the City of Hopkinsville taxing district (01) in Christian County, Kentucky.

Municipal sewer extends along the Hopkinsville Bypass, terminating approximately 850 feet from the property boundary at the Princeton Road intersection. Electric service is provided by Pennyrile Electric, water by Hopkinsville Water Environment Authority, and gas by Atmos Energy. ZONING AND ENTITLEMENTS Current zoning is R-2 (Seller to Assist on rezoning) with target rezoning to B-2 (General Business). The rezoning process typically requires few months and involves planning commission review, public hearing, and city council approval. B-2 zoning permits retail, restaurant, professional office, medical, financial services, and general commercial uses. Building requirements include 40-foot front setback, 7-foot side setback, 20-foot rear setback, 50-foot maximum height, and 55% maximum site coverage. Adjacent commercial zoning (B-2) exists to the northeast along Frank Silvey Road, supporting rezoning approval precedent. LOCATION AND ACCESS The property commands a strategic position at Hopkinsville's primary commercial crossroads. US-68 (Cadiz Road) serves as the main east-west commercial corridor connecting downtown Hopkinsville to I-24 Exit 65 (Cadiz/Hopkinsville interchange) approximately 12 miles west. KY-91 (Princeton Road) provides north-south connectivity to Princeton and regional markets. Daily traffic volumes along the Cadiz Road corridor range from 15,000 to 20,000 vehicles per day. The site offers excellent visibility, multiple access point opportunities, and established commercial infrastructure patterns.
