1 William St Clermont, NJ 08210

This residential corner lot in Cape May County presents an opportunity for investors, builders, and developers. Situated close to area beaches and community amenities, the property offers high visibility on Route 47 in the Town of Cape May Court House. According to the tax report, the lot features approximately 206 feet of frontage on Route 47 and a depth of 168 feet. An uninhabitable 1850s two-story farmhouse is located on the property; the second-story roof and chimney have collapsed into the first floor, and Middle Township has designated the structure as unsafe. The existing structure would need to be demolished, and the lot cleared of all natural overgrowth for any future new build to take place. The property is being sold strictly as is, and the buyer is responsible for all state and municipal certifications, inspections, and permits. The property is currently serviced by a non-functional cesspool and well. Extreme caution should be used when entering the property, and all showings must be accompanied by the listing agent to ensure safety precautions are followed. The lot is approximately 0.79 acres. According to the Middle Township Construction office, the township requires a minimum of one acre for a septic system. This lot would be considered undersized for a septic system install, and a buyer would need to submit a variance to the township to install a septic system for future construction of a new home. The lot itself is buildable once the existing structure is demolished and a variance is submitted and approved. However, if the existing foundation is used, a new home can be built on it, and no variance is needed.
