3586 Wyevale Road — Pre-Approved Residential Development Site | Hephzibah, GA
This ±3.84-acre land parcel in Hephzibah, Georgia represents a compelling residential development opportunity in one of the Augusta CSRA's strongest-performing growth submarkets. The site carries pre-approved density of 29 residential units per acre, accommodating up to ±111 total units and includes confirmed sewer availability.
Located at 3586 Wyevale Road in Richmond County (TMS# 118-0-008-00-0), the property sits within minutes of Fort Eisenhower's Gate 5, one of the installation's primary access points, and approximately 10 minutes from the main installation core. Fort Eisenhower, formerly known as Fort Gordon, is the Augusta region's single largest employer, with more than 15,000 active-duty service members and roughly 9,000 civilian employees. The installation is home to the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence and continues to attract mission-driven investment in personnel and infrastructure, creating a stable, long-term demand base for off-post housing.
The Hephzibah submarket has become one of the fastest-growing residential corridors in the CSRA as a direct result of this demand. New home builders including DR Horton and Bill Beazley Homes have active communities in the immediate area, and residential lot absorption rates reflect strong buyer and renter interest from military and civilian households alike. On-post housing, meanwhile, remains constrained; Fort Eisenhower and its housing partner Balfour Beatty Communities broke ground on new townhome construction in 2023, acknowledging that on-post supply cannot fully meet demand.
The site provides access to both I-520 and I-20, connecting residents to the broader Augusta metro and regional employment base. The Bobby Jones Expressway interchange is approximately 10 minutes away. Augusta Regional Airport is within ±20 minutes, Downtown Augusta within ±20 minutes, and the site sits approximately ±2 hours from Atlanta and ±1.5 hours from Columbia, SC.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Day-to-day conveniences like grocery, dining, and everyday retail, are within walking distance or a short commute from the property. Diamond Lakes Regional Park, a 286-acre recreational amenity featuring walking trails, playgrounds, fishing ponds, sports fields, and picnic areas, is nearby and serves as a meaningful quality-of-life driver for prospective residents. Augusta itself offers a diverse amenity base including the Masters Golf Championship, Augusta Canal National Heritage Area, Augusta Museum of History, the Augusta Canal Discovery Center, and a wide range of dining and retail options.
Investment Thesis
For developers targeting workforce housing, build-to-rent, or for-sale townhome/multifamily product, 3586 Wyevale Road checks a rare combination of boxes: entitled density, infrastructure readiness, proximity to a large and stable employment anchor, and a submarket with demonstrated residential absorption. At $725,000 for ±3.84 acres with 29 units/acre pre-approval, this offering represents a competitive land basis in a market where entitled sites near Fort Eisenhower are increasingly difficult to source.
