Longtime
business leader A.B. Rose to sell properties at auction
ROCKY
MOUNT, North Carolina (Jan. 27, 2016) -- After a lifetime of living and doing
business in North Carolina, A.B. Rose and wife Carol are planning to move to
Arizona. And that means his lakeside home, an office building, commercial land
and other Nash County properties need to be sold.
So Rose has
retained John Dixon & Associates to market
18 of his properties in a live auction set for 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, at
the DoubleTree by Hilton in Rocky Mount. “I used an auction to sell business
assets, so I was familiar with the process. This will clear the way to move to
where we can downsize and be closer to family,” said Rose, whose A.B. Rose
Construction Company closed in 2009.
The five-bedroom home at 905 Old Mill Road sits on almost
eight acres overlooking a 10-acre city-owned lake for which the owner of the
home will have exclusive use. “The lake was a rock quarry to which we retained
the exclusive rights, which will pass on to the buyer. It’s maintained by the City
of Rocky Mount,” said Rose.
Another highlight in the auction will include the two-story office
building at 430 S Wesleyan Boulevard in Rocky Mount. “This building has room
for 10 offices, as well as a reception area, work room, file room, three
restrooms and a full bath. It would be a great location for an insurance agency
or almost any type of professional office,” said John Dixon, president of the
auction company.
Also selling will be a 114-acre farm with a home for rental
income, and a commercial property with an equipment shed, shop and shelter
buildings. Other properties include several commercial land tracts, five of
which are along S Wesleyan Boulevard.
Bidders will also be able to participate online while
viewing a live simulcast.
