Two Mobil service stations operated on the High Street-Beechworth Road roundabout until the late 1990s before the one on the western side shut and has remained vacant since.
Melbourne-based agent Teska Carson has been appointed to sell the 2457 square metre site which has been used as a car park in recent times and located next to two of central Wodonga's oldest buildings.
Agent George Takis said the owners were keen to sell at a time when central Wodonga was undergoing a major transformation.
"I just see huge upswing in that whole area and things seem to be chugging along nicely," he said.
"Under its Activity One zoning you can do commercial, offices, residential and I'm sure the council would like to see something happen there.
"It has been a vacant block for a very long time and is an absolute monty of an opportunity for someone to take it on.
"We've had some enquiries already with some parties already asking for contracts."
