Sale or Lease. 217 Southern Drive offers a rare owner-user and investment opportunity in a Hill Country market where functional industrial and flex product is in short supply. This is a Johnson City address. Situated just off Highway 290 on ± 2.8 acres of unrestricted land, the property features two insulated metal buildings totaling approximately 6,000 square feet, plus a 16'×40' covered lean-to, office space, power, water, septic, infrastructure to support 3 RV's, and a large, level yard suitable for equipment or fleet parking.
The primary ± 3,600 SF building includes a climate controlled built-out office area with two restrooms, along with a spacious shop bay, mezzanine storage, and existing automotive improvements (including lifts). The secondary ± 2,400 SF building also features a restroom and flexible open-shop configuration ideal for storage, fabrication, or equipment maintenance.
Industrial and contractor space in this corridor has become increasingly scarce as new rooftops, homebuilders, and service-oriented businesses continue expanding west along Highway 290. Companies serving the fast-growing Hill Country market are seeking functional, affordable facilities like this—properties that offer shop, yard, and office space without city restrictions or premium pricing.
Accessible via a 50 yard deeded easement driveway directly off 290, this property is well-suited for field-based and service-oriented users who travel to clients rather than rely on customer traffic. Excellent accessibility, unrestricted zoning, and functional improvements make it a strong fit for contractors, trades, fabrication, or owner-user investors seeking long-term utility and value stability.
