Description

LIVE, WORK & CREATE — A UNIQUE SUSSEX COUNTY OPPORTUNITY! Discover the flexibility of 20587 Milton Ellendale Highway, a distinctive property offering approximately 0.65 acre, an existing 975± SF concrete/masonry building, and exciting potential to create a residential and work lifestyle in one convenient location. Imagine eliminating the daily commute and creating a property tailored around the way you live and work. With its generously sized lot and existing substantial masonry structure, the property presents an opportunity for buyers seeking space for a residence plus workshop, garage, studio, storage, hobby space, home-based business or entrepreneurial venture, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. The existing concrete/masonry building is a standout feature. Its durable constr uction provides an excellent starting point for a workshop, garage, creative studio, equipment or vehicle storage, or potential business space. For the entrepreneur, tradesperson, contractor, automotive enthusiast, collector, artist, or buyer who simply wants substantial usable space steps from home, this property offers possibilities that are difficult to find in a conventional residential neighborhood. The approximately 0.65-acre lot adds another layer of flexibility. Current AR-1 zoning may provide an opportunity for a qualifying manufactured/Class C-style home or other permitted detached residence, subject to Sussex County requirements, permits and approvals. Create your residence while taking advantage of the existing separate structure and enjoy the freedom of having your living space, projects, equipment and potential business operation all on one property. The location provides a compelling balance between space and accessibility. Positioned along the Route 16 corridor between Milton and Ellendale, the property is close to some of the area's expanding residential communities. Captain's Way is approximately 0.5 mile away, while Newdale Acres is approximately 2.5 miles away and Ingram Village approximately 2.6 miles away, placing the property near hundreds of existing and planned residences. For buyers considering an entrepreneurial component, the location offers additional potential. Established fuel and convenience destinations are approximately 3 to 4 miles away in either direction, creating several miles of separation from major convenience-store competitors along this portion of the Route 16 corridor. The existing building and road exposure could make the property particularly interesting for a neighborhood market, convenience concept, service business, workshop or other approved use. This is not your typical residential property — and that's exactly the appeal. Live where you work. Build something of your own. Keep your vehicles, tools or hobbies close. Create a home without giving up the space needed to pursue a business or passion. Whether envisioned as a residence with a substantial workshop, an owner-operated business with living accommodations, an automotive enthusiast's setup, or a flexible investment property, 20587 Milton Ellendale Highway offers a rare combination of land, existing infrastructure, visibility and lifestyle potential. Convenient to Milton, Ellendale, Route 1 and Delaware's coastal communities, this is an opportunity for a buyer looking beyond the limitations of a traditional subdivision and seeking a property that can adapt to both life and work. Buyer and buyer's agent should independently verify zoning, permitted residential and commercial uses, manufactured/Class C home eligibility, building-use requirements, well and septic feasibility, environmental conditions, entrance requirements and all intended uses with Sussex County and other applicable authorities.
