    Description

    Seller motivated, so bring your offer!! Great potential on this vacant C-1 commercial lot in the Route 9, Lewes/Georgetown Highway corridor. Located just 7 miles from downtown Lewes, this property could be developed for mixed use purposes, a preference of county officials. 150 feet of Route 9 frontage (eastbound side) is enough to have its own separate entrance, but ingress/egress is deeded with the property according to seller. Per Sussex County Planning & Zoning, the lot could accommodate a 14 unit, 3 story building with retail on the ground floor. All utilities can be accessed with hookup available for water, sewer, and natural gas. Nearby businesses include Royal Farms, Dollar General, Overstuffed Sandwiches, Oak Creek Wine & Spirits, Sussex County Detailing, medical practice office, Budget Blinds, State Farm Insurance, Security Instrument, Edward Jones, and Delaware Eye Clinics. Bayhealth Medical will soon be constructing a 57,000 SF facility across from the Dollar General store. Please note the billboard is excluded from sale of the land. Bring your commercial development ideas today!
    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 21, 2025

      "I have lived in this neighborhood for eleven years. It's a quiet well maintained street with plenty of on and off street parking, as well as public transportation and friendly neighbors. There are several Elementary, Middle and High Schools in the area. Milton is nearby to many towns/cities that offer fun-filled entertainment for the entire family! This a wonderful place to raise a family, or start out on your own. Very close to Beaches and Resort Areas."

      "Great place to retire or as a weekend retreat. Prime Hook offers very safe, clean beaches for kids and dogs. Miles of beaches to walk, exploring for wildlife and shells. Excellent place to sail and kayak. Sand bars offer fun for kids. Community backs up to Prime Hook Wildlife refuge teaming with wildlife with nesting ospreys, eagles and other waterfowl. Quiet and peaceful and a perfect all year round destination. It is one of the closest Delaware Bay beaches to Philly, DC, MD and VA.. "
