This unique double lot offers approximately 100 feet of water frontage, water views, boat access, and an existing dock. The property consists of two lots being sold together and offers numerous possibilities for future use. Build a large custom waterfront home, explore the option to re-divide the lots back to their original configuration to create two 50x100 waterfront lots, or consider other development opportunities such as a duplex (buyers should verify with the Town of Surf City and CAMA regarding permitted uses). Currently on the property are two habitable structures--a primary home and a mobile home--each with separate water meters, electric meters, and sewer connections. The existing homes can be used immediately while plans for future development are considered. The lots are currently combined due to an addition on the home that encroaches onto the second lot. Removal of the addition may allow the property to be re-divided according to the original plat. With 100 feet of waterfront, water views, boating access, and a location close to Surf City beaches, shops, and restaurants, this property presents a rare chance to create a waterfront retreat, investment property, or future development opportunity.
