Exceptional opportunity to acquire approximately 22.63 acres of predominantly cleared and cultivated farmland on Wilgus Cemetery Road. Zoned AR-1, the property features more than 800 feet of road frontage and very little woodland. The property appears to be situated outside the FEMA-designated flood zone and wellhead-protection area per Sussex County Maps.
Its agricultural character, extensive road frontage (800+ ft), surrounding growth and nearby infrastructure investment may provide opportunities for continued farming, the creation of multiple subdivided lots or longer-term residential development. The property is currently farmed, and the existing farmer retains the right to harvest the current crop through the end of this growing season. The farming arrangement will not renew for the following season unless renewed by the seller or buyer.
Tax ditches and drainage easements affect portions of the property. Any subdivision, development, sewer connection or alternative use is subject to buyer due diligence and all applicable governmental, environmental and utility approvals.
Located approximately 12 minutes from Bethany Beach, the property lies south of Route 26 and offers multiple routes to the beach without requiring travel along Route 26—a valuable advantage during the busy summer season.
