A rare opportunity abounds on this 11.80 +/- acre coastal property in Ocean View! The property is close to the sandy beaches and fine dining of Bethany Beach. Local amenities in Ocean View include marinas on White Creek, golf courses, dining, and entertainment. The property is comprised of four separate contiguous parcels (Tax IDs: 134-8.00-67.00, 134-8.00-67.01, 134-8.00-67.02, and 134-8.00-68.00) Surrounded by single family homes, the property's highest and best use is likely residential development. Subject to county approval, a subdivision of the property could support approximately 40-50 lots for detached single family homes (a permitted use) or multifamily dwelling structures (a conditional use). Alternatively, the property's proximity to Bethany Beach makes it an ideal location for developing several large private estates. Because the property is currently in Medium Residential (MR) zoning, it has extensive development potential for permitted or conditional uses (Sussex County Code § 115-29 and 115-29). The Seller makes no warranty or representation regarding any permitted or conditional use. Any and all future use of the property is subject to approval by Sussex County. The Buyer shall be solely responsible for conducting any and all due diligence and obtaining required county approvals for buyer's intended purpose. Notably, there are three dwellings on the property. However, this is a land-only sale with the dwelling being sold "as-is" and adding no value to the property's best and highest use.

Rare coastal development opportunity just minutes to the beach. This prime GR-zoned parcel offers multiple potential paths for a buyer or developer. The property appears well suited for a five-lot subdivision featuring approximately one-acre homesites, with subdivision approval handled administratively through Sussex County and estimated to take approximately three to four months. Lots of this size this close to the beach are increasingly uncommon and allow for spacious single-family homes with room for pools, detached garages, and meaningful landscape buffers — creating clear differentiation in today’s market. For buyers seeking greater density, the property is also believed to support a higher-yield configuration of approximately 25 to 30 condominium units or smaller single-family home sites, subject to zoning, engineering, and full county approvals. This approach would require a longer entitlement timeline but may offer substantial upside depending on final design and layout. Alternatively, the parcel could be held or enjoyed as a private estate-sized homesite just minutes to Bethany Beach, allowing a future owner to pursue development at a later date as surrounding growth continues. Public utilities are at the road (buyer to perform all due diligence regarding sewer capacity, stormwater management, and subdivision approvals). Opportunities of this scale, flexibility, and proximity to the beach are increasingly limited. Please note that there is a structure on the property. It offers no additional value and will convey as-is, where-is.
