OVERVIEW

The Geller Group at Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present Brandywine Rise, Dunellen, New Jersey, a rare 6.93-acre land investment opportunity located in Green Brook Township, Somerset County. The Property is identified as Block 103, Lot 5.02 and contains approximately 6.9254 acres, offering investors, developers, and land bankers the opportunity to control a sizeble tract within an established Central New Jersey market with convenient access to the Route 22 corridor, I-78, I-287, and the broader New York metropolitan region. The Property is situated within the Special Mountainside Development District (SMD), a protective, low-intensity residential zoning district created to regulate development along Green Brook’s Watchung Mountain ridgeline and steep-slope areas. The zoning is designed to preserve scenic and environmental features, limit overdevelopment on sensitive terrain, control grading and impervious coverage, and maintain a low-density, single-family residential character. Under the SMD zoning framework, permitted primary use is generally limited to single- family detached residential dwellings, with no multifamily, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use development permitted as-of-right. Typical dimensional controls include an approximately 40,000-square-foot minimum lot area, 150-foot minimum lot width, 50-foot front and rear yard setbacks, and 20-foot side yard setbacks, subject to final confirmation based on site-specific conditions and applicable ordinance provisions. Development within the SMD District is highly sensitive to environmental and entitlement considerations. The zoning framework includes restrictive height and coverage controls, with maximum building height generally limited to approximately 2.5 stories / 35 feet and impervious coverage generally around 20%, though actual development capacity may be further reduced by slopes, wetlands, buffers, stormwater requirements, tree-removal limitations, and soil erosion controls. Given these constraints, Brandywine Rise is best positioned as a long-term land holding, estate-home, limited residential, conservation, or specialized land-use opportunity rather than a conventional density-driven development site. Any development analysis should focus on net developable acreage rather than gross acreage, with entitlement strategy, environmental review, and Land Use Board approval serving as key determinants of future value. Overall, Brandywine Rise represents a unique opportunity to acquire substantial acreage in a mature Somerset County market with strong regional access, minimal flood hazard designation, and long-term land-control value. While the SMD zoning and environmental conditions create meaningful development limitations, they also preserve the Property’s low-density character and may appeal to buyers seeking a strategic land bank, conservation-oriented acquisition, or limited residential development opportunity in a supply-constrained New Jersey location.
