Approximately 39± acres west of US Highway 75 and south of SW 57th Street in south Topeka, offering an intriguing combination of acreage, infrastructure and strategic location. Sits directly in the US-75/SW 57th Street corridor. Documented 2025 KDOT traffic data shows approximately 12,319 vehicles per day along the nearby US-75 segment, including approximately 1,354 trucks daily. Traffic counts along the SW 57th Street corridor range from approximately 2,677 to 5,940 vehicles per day, depending upon segment. The property provides convenient proximity to I-470, I-335, the Kansas Turnpike system and Topeka Regional Airport/Forbes Field, as well as established industrial, manufacturing, distribution and commercial development. Verify measurements, acreage, taxes and availabilty of utilities. UTILITIES & IMPROVEMENTS: A water main is located at/on the property. The tract does not have a sanitary-sewer main and the existing residence has historically utilized a septic system. Buyers should independently verify the condition, location and functionality of the septic system and all utility connections. An older residence is located on the property but is severely deteriorated and considered non-habitable in its present condition. The property is being marketed primarily for the value of its land, location and potential rather than the residential improvement. The combination of approximately 39 acres, SW 57th Street location, US-75 visibility/proximity and available water infrastructure creates potential for investment, business, commercial, industrial or future-development consideration, subject to zoning and governmental approvals.
