Opportunities like this do not come along often. This 22.06± acre property on East Church Street and Business 60 in Aurora offers a unique combination of commercial exposure, development potential, natural beauty, and privacy—all within the city limits.

With approximately 147 feet of Business 60 frontage, the property provides excellent visibility and convenient access for a future business, office, retail location, service-based operation, or other commercial use. The property includes a combination of C-1 Retail/Services, C-2 General Business, and A-1 Agricultural zoning, creating flexibility that is difficult to find in one tract. Whether you are a developer, investor, entrepreneur, builder, or buyer searching for a one-of-a-kind property, this land offers room to bring a wide range of ideas to life.

The front portion offers a highly visible commercial setting with open, usable ground and utility infrastructure nearby. City utilities are believed to be available near the commercial portion of the property, giving buyers a strong starting point for future development. All utility availability, capacity, connection costs, and intended uses should be independently verified with the appropriate providers and the City of Aurora.

Beyond the frontage, the property opens into a completely different setting. Level to gently rolling meadows are scattered with mature trees, while wooded areas provide privacy, shade, wildlife cover, and a peaceful Ozarks atmosphere. Multiple open areas appear well suited for future building sites, trails, recreation, or a private retreat. The combination of open ground and timber creates a park-like setting that feels surprisingly secluded for a property located inside the city limits.

Wildlife sign throughout the property adds another layer of appeal. Deer tracks, rubs, mature timber, cedar cover, and natural transition areas make the acreage attractive for recreation and anyone who appreciates nature. A buyer could explore creating a private estate, family compound, hobby property, recreational retreat, or a live-work setting with commercial activity near the road and private acreage behind it.

The property adjoins Aurora’s operating drive-in movie theater to the east, giving it a recognizable location beside one of the community’s established landmarks. Surrounding businesses, nearby transportation routes, and its position along Business 60 add to the long-term investment potential. The property also offers a rare balance: visibility where it matters and privacy where you want it.

Develop the commercial frontage while holding the remaining acreage for future growth. Create a business location with room to expand. Build a private home or estate tucked among the trees. Explore a mixed-use concept, recreational use, or long-term land investment. The possibilities are broad, subject to zoning regulations, city approval, utility availability, and the buyer’s intended use.

Properties offering this amount of acreage, mixed zoning, city-limit location, commercial frontage, mature timber, open meadows, and future development potential are increasingly difficult to find. This is more than vacant land—it is an opportunity to create something truly unique in Aurora.
