Rarely does an opportunity of this scale become available inside the city limits of a community the size of New Haven. Located just 9 miles from the Washington City Limits, this exceptional 81± acre tract offers a unique combination of size, location, zoning, access and future residential potential that is increasingly difficult to find.
Located just off Miller Street, one of New Haven's important residential corridors, the property has surveyed access connecting directly to Miller Street and is situated in close proximity to New Haven Elementary School. A secondary access point is also available from Orchard Street, providing additional connectivity and flexibility for future planning.
The property is currently zoned R-1A for single-family residential use, creating an exceptional opportunity for a residential developer, builder, investor or individual seeking a large tract with significant potential for future residential development. The acreage could lend itself to a thoughtfully planned subdivision, potentially developed in phases, or could be preserved as a larger private residential tract with the opportunity to create an extraordinary estate setting within the city limits.
Historically, portions of the property were open pasture, while much of the acreage has naturally transitioned to a wooded setting over recent years. The combination of open areas, mature growth and natural terrain creates opportunities for a development that incorporates privacy, wooded views and natural features into its overall design.
Potential concepts may include a traditional single-family subdivision, larger estate-style residential lots, a custom-home community, phased residential development, or a private family estate. The property's size also provides an opportunity for a developer to thoughtfully design streets, lots, green space and natural amenities rather than being constrained by a small infill site.
Perhaps most importantly, this property offers something becoming increasingly scarce in the area: a substantial tract of undeveloped land located within city limits with access to the community's existing infrastructure and services. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence with the City of New Haven and applicable utility providers regarding utility availability, capacity, development requirements, subdivision regulations, allowable density, access, drainage and all other development considerations.
For a developer, this is an opportunity to acquire a truly significant piece of New Haven with the potential to shape an entire residential community. For an individual buyer, it represents the rare opportunity to own an exceptionally large and private tract while remaining within the city limits and close to schools, downtown and everyday conveniences.
