Build-ready RA-3 parcel—municipal water/sewer, gas and electric available
0.75 acres
Lot
This 0.75-acre parcel at 355 Cool Run is a rare, level building site with immediate development potential. With 32,470 square feet and direct frontage on Cool Run, the lot’s grade and frontage simplify site planning and reduce early-site work. Zoned RA-3 (Residential Agricultural), the property is well suited to a single-family residence or a custom builder’s spec project.
Practical utilities are already in place: municipal water and sewer services serve the lot and both electric and natural gas are available, making hookups straightforward. The parcel was acquired in June 2024 by Dream Builders WS Construction LLC, and the county assessed the land at $50,000 (2025). Annual taxes are modest—approximately $500—so carrying costs are low while you plan development or hold for appreciation.
Recent new construction nearby provides a clear indicator of market opportunity. Two newly built single-family homes on Cool Run closed in February 2026 in the upper-$400,000s (roughly $198–$202/sf for ~2,500-sf homes). Those sales demonstrate what thoughtfully executed product can achieve in this pocket of Lexington and provide a real-world benchmark for developers evaluating lot value and potential returns.
Location is quietly convenient: downtown Lexington is about three miles away for restaurants, shops and services, Davidson County Community College sits roughly four miles out, and High Rock Lake is within a five-mile drive for boating and water recreation. School options in the district include Welcome Elementary (3/10), North Davidson Middle (9/10) and North Davidson High (6/10), offering a mix of choices depending on buyer priorities.
For builders, investors or a homeowner ready to custom-build, 355 Cool Run removes many of the typical hurdles—level topography, municipal utilities and a zoning designation aligned with single-family residential use. Market indicators in the area are steady: median sale price near $250,000, average days on market about 45, and inventory running around 3.5 months—conditions that support both short-term build-and-sell strategies and longer-term hold plays. Bring your plans and permits; this lot is positioned to move from concept to foundation quickly.
Broker/Buyer Checklist: confirm setbacks and any county-specific requirements under RA-3, verify final utility tap processes, and consult site plan options with local builders who have recent track records on Cool Run.
The lot sits in a quiet Lexington corridor that blends new residential development with existing neighborhood fabric. Downtown Lexington’s dining and retail offerings are an easy 10-minute drive, while High Rock Lake provides outdoor recreation within a short drive. The area has modest population growth and median incomes aligned with county averages, offering a steady market for homes and investments. Proximity to Davidson County Community College and local services makes the location practical for both families and builders seeking convenient access to regional amenities.
The Lexington-area market around Cool Run currently reads as balanced-to-slightly seller-favorable. Inventory is moderate at approximately 3.5 months—below a neutral six-month supply—while average days on market sits near 45 days, indicating properties are moving but not in a frenzied manner. Median sale prices in the broader area are roughly $250,000, with local appreciation of about 4% over the past year and 15% over five years, pointing to steady, measured growth rather than rapid spikes.
For vacant residential lots and new construction, demand is supported by recent comparable closings on Cool Run: two new single-family homes sold in February 2026 in the upper-$400,000s, delivering strong pricing per finished square foot (~$200/sf). That suggests well-executed homes on similarly sized parcels can achieve attractive resale values. Builders will find a market receptive to quality product, though attention to product-market fit and timing remains important given the steady—but not overheated—market dynamics.
This is a constructive time to consider acquiring development-ready lots: carrying costs are low, financing for construction remains accessible for experienced builders, and the local appreciation trend supports both build-to-sell and long-term hold strategies. Buyers should confirm local permit timelines, utility tap fees, and school/district concerns (elementary rating is lower than middle school), but data indicate an opportunity for thoughtful development in this pocket of Davidson County.
