463 Route 47 $501,000

Don’t miss this homesteader’s dream. Designed to honor the Bayshore heritage of western Cape May County and built to last generations, this truly unique property cuts no corners when it comes to detail and quality. At just under five years old, it includes all of the energy efficient features of a brand-new home along with authentic materials that you just don’t see used in houses these days. Mahogany decks, wide cedar bevel siding, Andersen double-hung windows, solid wood exterior doors, an attached glass and redwood lean-to greenhouse, 9-inch-wide white pine flooring from Maine throughout the house, and solid wood trim in every room. The house was built to grow, with two rooms being used as bedrooms, the third bedroom currently being used as an office, and manufactured joists in the first-floor ceiling extended over the kitchen and dining room to allow for an addition to be built above. Tons of natural light fills every room with views of this beautiful 4.5-acre property set far from the road while 2x6 exterior walls perfectly insulate you from the elements outside. This is an all-electric house with an efficient heat pump system and plenty of space for solar. The standing seam metal roofs not only add charm to this timeless house but will last a lifetime and more. With the sun rising in the bedrooms and setting in the dining room and fully fenced backyard (with a screened porch), you’ll never want to leave. But in the off chance you do want to step out, this property is conveniently located in the heart of the county where you can get to the beach or Belleplain State Forest in just 15 minutes. There is a large, detached 26’ two-door garage with a carport and second floor framed to be an apartment with a brand-new shingle roof installed in 2022. The property is zoned Rural Conservation, allowing for businesses of various sizes to operate from the location. Come see what world you can build for yourself down by the bay.
