Where history meets opportunity along the Lehigh River. Rarely does a property offer the perfect blend of immediate income, commercial potential, natural beauty, and historic significance. Spanning 14.85 acres across two parcels with nearly 1,300 ft of frontage on 145, this truly one-of-a-kind estate presents an opportunity unlike anything else on the market. The property features a well-maintained 2-unit residential building totaling approximately 3,000 square feet, with each apartment offering nearly 1,500 square feet of living space. One unit consists of 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, while the second offers 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Both units are currently leased for $1,500 per month, providing dependable income from day one. The residence totals approximately 3,003 sq ft. Further enhancing the property's versatility is an impressive 150' x 32' greenhouse, previously leased for commercial use and offering yet another potential income stream. The front parcel encompasses approximately 10.85 acres and is zoned Highway Commercial, while the separate 4-acre rear parcel is zoned Agricultural and benefits from deeded railroad crossing access between the two parcels, creating exceptional flexibility for future use. Beyond the buildings, the land is simply extraordinary. Explore a beautiful mix of open fields, mature woods, scenic walking trails, and direct access to the Lehigh River, creating an incredible setting for recreation, relaxation, or future development. Adding to the property's remarkable character are the surviving remnants of historic Lockport, including the former Lockport Hotel, portions of the historic Lehigh Canal lock system, and other period structures, offering a rare glimpse into the area's rich canal-era heritage. Imagine the possibilities—continue generating reliable rental income while exploring opportunities for a wedding or event venue, greenhouse or nursery operation, farm market, kayak or river tubing outfitter, agritourism destination, campground or glamping retreat, educational or historical attraction, or countless other ventures (subject to municipal approvals). Whether you're seeking a diversified investment, a business opportunity, or an exceptional property to enjoy for generations, this estate delivers a combination of features that is nearly impossible to duplicate. Properties offering multiple income streams, nearly 15 acres, commercial and agricultural zoning, river access, historical significance, and exceptional future potential seldom become available.
This parcel offers a natural, wooded landscape with elevation changes that present both challenges and creative opportunities for development. The steep grade may require grading, fill, or excavation to create suitable pad sites for structures. Alternatively, a developer or custom home builder could design a structure on stilts or piers, preserving the natural terrain while maximizing potential views. This is an ideal site for single and potentially multi-family opportunities , custom homes, private recreational retreat, or small-scale agricultural operation, subject to township approvals--see zoning code for current options.
