Selling/Monetizing Interstate Property - South Carolina

[Justin Whitfield]

Has anyone had any luck selling interstate property?

We have 17 acres on Exit 27 of I-85 in Anderson, South Carolina with over 700 feet of interstate frontage.

We are trying to find the best way to monetize it or sell it. We already have an income producing billboard on the site which basically just pays the property taxes. I decided to list it on MLS and LoopNet to see if we could get some offers, but I knew that would be slow so I'm trying to figure out a different strategy.

I've been emailing the Real Estate acquisition people for truck stops, fast food chains, etc. and I'm hoping one will be interested. Only response so far is from Loves Travel Stops, who said it was a little too far off the corner for them to pursue.

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
