Seize this rare opportunity to own a fully renovated, turnkey commercial property in one of Southeast Georgia’s most strategic locations — the high-traffic corner of GA-86 (Harrington Street) & Oak Park Avenue, steps from U.S. Hwy 1 and just minutes from Interstate 16. Located in Oak Park, Emanuel County, this 2,740 sq ft building on a 0.31-acre double parcel (OP1 041A & OP1 041) delivers exceptional visibility, versatility, and long-term growth potential — perfect for investors, developers, or owner-users ready to capitalize on the area’s accelerating commercial, industrial, and tourism expansion.
