Buildable R-5 Lot in Okolona – Confirmed by Louisville Metro Planning

CONFIRMED BUILDABLE — Louisville Metro Planning has verified this is a legal, recorded lot ready for a single-family home. Not "probably buildable." Not "buyer to verify." The Louisville Metro Office of Planning has confirmed in writing that this lot is a legal lot of record and that a single-family home can be built here — no variances needed, no binding elements, no conditions on the parcel. Just standard permitting and you're building. The numbers clear every hurdle with room to spare. Zoned R-5 Single-Family Residential in the Neighborhood Form District, the lot offers roughly 7,300+ sq ft against a 6,000 sq ft minimum, with 100+ feet of paved road frontage on Clay Avenue versus the 50-foot requirement. Builder-friendly setbacks (15 ft front, 5 ft sides, 25 ft rear) leave a wide building envelope perfectly suited to a ranch or custom single-story plan. The site is essentially flat (~2% slope), is NOT in a FEMA flood hazard area, carries 0% wetlands coverage, and is not landlocked. Fewer surprises, smoother path from purchase to build — and zoning confirmation documentation is available to serious buyers on request. Here's your chance to own a ready-to-build residential lot in the heart of Okolona, one of south Louisville's most established and convenient neighborhoods. Situated on Clay Avenue in the Meadow Hill subdivision, this vacant parcel sits on a quiet, tree-lined residential street surrounded by well-kept single-family homes — the kind of settled, move-in-ready community that's increasingly hard to find at this price point. Location is the standout feature. The lot backs directly up to Okolona Park, giving you green space, ball fields, and walking areas practically in your backyard. You're just a short drive to Preston Highway (US-61) with its full lineup of shopping, grocery, and dining — Cheddar's, Sugar Diva Bakery, and everyday essentials are all minutes away. Quick access to I-65 puts downtown Louisville, the airport, and the UPS Worldport within an easy commute, making this an ideal spot for anyone who wants suburban calm without giving up city convenience. The neighborhood is fully built out and served by public utilities and city infrastructure, with existing homes on both sides of the street. Whether you're an owner-builder looking to design your dream home, an investor adding to a rental portfolio, or a builder seeking an infill lot in a proven neighborhood, this property delivers. Lots like this in developed Louisville neighborhoods don't stay available long. Cash offers and financing questions welcome — reach out today to make it yours.
