Rare protected harbor waterfront opportunity featuring approximately 300’ of shoreline, existing dock, bulkhead, and an existing ~3,412 sq ft building footprint positioned near the water—an increasingly difficult configuration to replicate under current Chesapeake Bay and waterfront regulations (buyer to verify).
Former seafood processing and oyster facility. Under Lancaster County Article 12 (Nonconforming Uses), aquaculture, oyster houses, seafood processing, and similar uses are explicitly recognized and may continue despite discontinuation. The ordinance also provides a pathway for expansion or reestablishment of commercial use through a special exception (buyer to verify), offering a unique opportunity in a highly constrained regulatory environment.
Prior development efforts included engineered plans for dredging, bulkhead improvements, and expansion of slips, supporting the property’s viability for water-dependent commercial or marine use.
Navigable, protected harbor setting provides calm conditions for docking and vessel use, with brackish waters supporting both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Approximately 25 miles by water to the Chesapeake Bay.
Property is zoned R-3 with Waterfront Residential Overlay (W-1), which imposes significant limitations on new waterfront construction—further enhancing the potential value of the existing footprint and prior water-dependent use (buyer to verify).
No significant mapped wetlands per National Wetlands Inventory (buyer to verify). Property sold as-is. 3D tour available.
