Nicholls sets auction for 3.12-acre Lynchburg-area parcel with brick home

Nicholls Auction Marketing Group will auction a 3.12-acre corner parcel with a brick home and Route 460 frontage in Evington, Virginia, on Friday, Oct. 16. The property is being marketed for its visibility, redevelopment potential and proximity to the Lynchburg metro area.

Why it matters: - The 3.12-acre parcel sits on a high-visibility corridor near Lynchburg and could appeal to buyers looking for residential use, restoration or future commercial potential. - The property’s frontage on Route 460 and Sunburst Road gives it exposure that is rare for a single parcel in the area. - The auction offers a chance to buy a site that already has a home, utilities and road access in place.

What happened: - Nicholls Auction Marketing Group set the public auction for Friday, Oct. 16, at 11 a.m. EDT. - The property is at 2551 Sunburst Rd. in Evington, Virginia. - The sale includes a 3.12± acre corner parcel with about 575 feet of Route 460 frontage and 520 feet of Sunburst Road frontage. - The site includes a 4-bedroom brick two-story home with 1 full bath and 2 half baths. - The home is stable but needs restoration.

The details: - The house measures about 3,627 gross square feet, including about 2,418 finished square feet and 1,209 unfinished square feet. - The home includes a kitchen, living room with fireplace, dining room, finished walk-out basement and attic. - Flooring is hardwood and carpet. - Heating is hot water, and the home has one fireplace and no air conditioning. - The property has a well and septic system, with public water available at Sunburst Road. - Other features include miscellaneous outbuildings, a gravel driveway and Comcast internet. - The parcel is currently zoned residential under R-SF, but it is identified as medium to high density commercial future land use. - The tax map number is 20G-2-1-2. - Annual real estate taxes are $1,103. - The home was built in 1931 and has a brick exterior. - Nicholls Auction Marketing Group said the parcel could support future commercial, office, service, retail or other development uses, subject to zoning, utilities and government approvals. - The property is convenient to Timberlake Road, Leesville Road, Route 29/Wards Road, Liberty University, Lynchburg Regional Airport, shopping, dining, employment centers and other commercial development. - The real estate auction is open to the public. - Brokers must pre-register to receive compensation. - Nicholls Auction Marketing Group is holding the auction in partnership with T and T Realty & Auction of Madison Heights, Virginia. - For more highlights and details, visit the company’s website.

Between the lines: - The property’s current residential zoning and future commercial land-use designation create optionality for a buyer willing to navigate approvals. - The inheritance-driven sale suggests the owners are prioritizing a market-based exit rather than a long listing process. - The combination of road frontage, existing structures and utility access gives the parcel more development flexibility than a raw land listing.

What's next: - Interested buyers can contact Mark Tomlin at 434-941-1814 or Mason Thomas at 434-665-7344 for more information. - Additional auction details are available on Nicholls Auction Marketing Group’s website. - The property will be sold at the live auction on Oct. 16.
