72± Acre B3-Zoned Commercial Site in Nashville, IN with Annexation, Infrastructure Access, and Proven Development Feasibility MLS#11501975

This is a rare chance to acquire 72± acres of development-ready land in the heart of Brown County, Indiana. Fully annexed into the Town of Nashville and zoned B3 General Business—the most flexible and intensive commercial classification available—this property is primed for high-impact development. B3 zoning allows for a wide range of commercial, retail, and service uses including shopping centers, offices, storage facilities, automotive services, and large-scale operations. Being within town limits ensures access to municipal infrastructure and services, setting it apart from unincorporated parcels.

The site’s development groundwork includes an approved fiscal plan and a PUD (Planned Unit Development) application that has already been submitted and accepted by the Brown County Area Planning Commission. Adding to its value, the property is backed by a professional feasibility study conducted by Hotel & Leisure Advisors (H&LA)—a nationally recognized hospitality consultancy behind projects like Great Wolf Lodge, Kalahari Resorts, and CoCo Key. Their analysis explored the potential for a 100–200 room hotel and indoor waterpark resort, evaluating site layout, traffic patterns, franchise alignment, and projecting financial outcomes over an 11-year period.

The property also enjoys strong local support, endorsed by the Brown County Economic Development Commission and approved by the Nashville Town Council through multiple public hearings and planning sessions. It’s ideal for developers pursuing destination-style hospitality projects, mixed-use entertainment campuses, big-box commercial developments, or high-amenity service-based ventures.

Located just off State Route 46, this site offers direct access to regional tourist traffic and sits close to key attractions like Brown County State Park, downtown Nashville, and Indiana University in Bloomington.
