2345 U.S. 85, Watford City, ND 58854

Property Description

Prime 30-Acre Development Opportunity with Income & Infrastructure in Place Located just south of Watford City along US Highway 85, this 30-acre property offers a rare combination of income-producing potential, substantial existing infrastructure, and flexible zoning. Currently zoned High-Density Residential, the site has strong county support for conversion to Industrial zoning, making it an ideal candidate for commercial, industrial, or workforce housing redevelopment. Included in the sale are a fully remodeled 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home featuring 1,568 square feet on the main level plus a finished basement, along with a 1,000 sq ft shop that provides added functionality for operations, storage, or onsite management. Originally developed as a crew housing facility, the site is equipped with significant infrastructure — including utilities and internal access roads — that adds immediate value and lowers future development costs. With direct frontage on Highway 85, the property benefits from outstanding visibility and accessibility along one of the region's busiest thoroughfares. This makes it especially well-suited for high-traffic commercial uses such as a convenience store, fuel station, or restaurant. Several small cabin units currently on site are owned by a separate party and are not included in the sale. However, additional housing may be available for expansion through a separate purchase, offering future upside or supplemental rental income. This is a strategic, shovel-ready opportunity for investors or developers looking to capitalize on location, infrastructure, and long-term growth potential in McKenzie County's core corridor.
