Property Description
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! 2228 Sam Newell Rd is an exceptional parcel of land at 4.6 acres and zoned R-15. This is a rare opportunity to own land in a prime location where larger lots are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Situated in a highly sought-after area of Matthews, this property is strategically located between Independence Boulevard and Margaret Wallace Rd which are two major thoroughfares from Matthews to Charlotte. This lot truly stands out as a win-win for buyers looking to build now or invest for the future.
One of the many highlights is the two means of egress — the property offers access from both Sam Newell Road and Williams Road, providing flexibility and convenience. The location is ideal, being just approximately two miles from Novant Health Matthews Medical Center. If you're looking for a wide variety of amenities—including restaurants, shopping centers, and major big-box stores—you've found the perfect location. Conveniently situated near Lowe's, Home Depot, and large retailers such as Sam's Club and Costco, this area truly has it all, with even more nearby. If you need to grab a bus into Charlotte, CAT's Park and Ride and downtown Matthews are all less than 1/2 mile away.
This property presents excellent potential in a desirable area where opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. LOOKING FOR SEWER and WATER, look no further! In 2025, sewer and water were installed along Sam Newell Road and are now readily available. No expense to the buyer for that, the tap fee has already been paid in full — a significant advantage for future development.
Water, natural gas, electric, and cable are all accessible from Sam Newell Road, making this property even more attractive for builders and buyers alike. Whether you are looking to build your dream home or secure land in a premium location, this property checks all the boxes.
This property is part of a 1031 Exchange. Please note, there are trail cameras on the property (video only).
