    About this House

    What's unique:Lot sits relatively high
    Vacant Residential Land for Sale in Christiana, Delaware — 0.23 Acres An opportunity to create something of your own in the historic Town of Christiana, Delaware. This approximately 0.23-acre vacant parcel in Christiana, New Castle County offers a unique opportunity for a buyer looking for residential land in a convenient northern Delaware location. A plot plan is available, giving prospective buyers valuable information as they investigate the possibilities for the property and their intended use. The property has undergone a remarkable transformation under the current ownership. What was once an overgrown and neglected parcel has been extensively cleared, cleaned and improved through a substantial investment of both money and hands-on work. The before-and-after photographs tell the story and demonstrate just how much effort has gone into preparing the property for its next owner. The lot sits relatively high, although a portion of the parcel is located within a designated flood zone. Prospective buyers should consult New Castle County, appropriate governmental agencies and qualified professionals regarding floodplain requirements, site planning and any proposed construction. New Castle County's development review can consider matters including building lots, drainage and water management, utilities and natural-resource protection. The current owner has also been actively working with New Castle County to address outstanding property matters associated with prior ownership. Considerable time and effort have gone into improving the condition of the property and addressing these issues. The parcel is currently vacant other than a shed, which may be included depending upon the purchase price and terms of the sale. Owner Financing May Be Available For the right buyer, seller financing may be considered with an acceptable purchase price, down payment and terms. This could provide an attractive alternative for someone interested in purchasing vacant land without relying exclusively on conventional land financing. Located in Christiana, Delaware, the property provides convenient access to the greater Christiana/Newark area, shopping, employment centers and major transportation routes while offering the increasingly uncommon opportunity to purchase a vacant parcel in northern New Castle County. Bring your ideas. Review the plot plan. Explore the possibilities. IMPORTANT BUYER DUE DILIGENCE: The seller and listing broker make no representation or warranty regarding the buyer's proposed use or development of the property. Buyer is responsible for independently conducting all due diligence regarding the property and intended use, including, but not limited to, zoning, permitted uses, building requirements, setbacks, utilities, flood zone/floodplain requirements, drainage, permits, environmental conditions and all other governmental or regulatory requirements. Buyer should independently verify all information with New Castle County, applicable governmental agencies and qualified professionals before purchasing the property. New Castle County provides a zoning-certification process specifically to determine whether property is legally suitable for a proposed use.
