The Property
The property is located at 6520 Weymouth Road in Mays

This is an Estate Property in every sense of the word encompassing almost nine acres with its own private lake. We're estimating the man-made spring fed lake at approximately two acres in size. Please see the survey below to see the exact proportions of the property and lake.

This lot has been grandfathered by Hamilton Township as there is an abandoned home of the property and we will gladly provide documentation and contacts within the township to verify this status. There is an additional old foundation on the property that will allow you to build a large barn style garage or carriage house with a finished second story home office. The main house will be limited to approx. 5,500 sq.ft.

An existing private drive enters the property along its northern edge. No Pinelands approvals are required for the house or drive.

There are existing well and septic systems on the property. Both will need to be brought up to current standards with the construction of a new home and a site plan showing the location of the new system will have to be filed with the NJDEP (cost $60). 

A fisherman's Dream
The lake (approximately 2 acres), is a man made spring fed lake created (we think) in the 1940's. Whoever designed this lake had fish in mind. It's deep in the center. Shallow areas along the shoreline are covered with lily pads from spring through fall, creating a perfect fish habitat. There are currently bass, pickerel and several other fish living in the lake.

More importantly our conversations with the state have indicated that, since the lake does not empty into the Lake Lenape reserve, you are able to stock the lake with non-native fish species. So not only can you have the perfect fishing spot right off your patio. You can choose the type of game fish to stock it with.

Historic Mays Landing
Mays Landing was founded in 1756 when George May built a shipyard and trading post near Babcock Creek. The earliest businesses in the area were glass blowers, ship builders, fisherman and iron mills. By the late 1700's Atlantic County was providing the bulk of the iron for the American colonies from local bog iron deposits, and its mills provided the majority of canon balls and shot for the Revolutionary Army. The ruin of one of these early mills is now preserved in a county park just up the street on Weymouth road at Weymouth Furnace Park.

The iron mills would eventually go quiet when better quality iron was found in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, but glass making, ship building and fishing remain important industries. 

Lake Lenape Antiques

Today Mays Landing is the county seat for Atlantic County and it is the historic district of Hamilton Township, New Jersey's largest community. Hamilton Township is an active growing community with good schools, abundant shopping and the atmosphere you can only find in a small historic community. 

The Main Street area of Mays Landing was recently declared a Historic District by the state. That has meant an influx of money to restore historic buildings. The cotton mill on Lake Lenape is being renovated into high end condominiums and shops, Main Street features antique shops, restaurants and even an gourmet Italian Market. As development of the historic district and waterfront continue you can expect a growing number of shops and galleries to populate this growing area.

Every summer Mays Landing hosts its Hometown Celebration, an outdoor fair featuring a parade, sidewalk sale, outdoor concerts and in the evening fireworks over Lake Lenape.

Great for children
Whether paddling around the lake, exploring your own nine acres of private forest, watching eagles soar overhead or enjoying the Historic District, Mays Landing is a great place for kids and parents alike. 

Just down the street there is a playground, hiking trails and watersports in  Lake Lenape Park, which anchors one end of Main Street. Just a  few minutes further down the road is the Hamilton Mall.

The award winning schools are modern, the community is friendly and there are organized sports and activities for the kids.

And as Mays Landing is increasingly home to professionals and college graduates, there is a corresponding focus on preparing students for higher education.

There is something to be said for growing up in a small town environment. Mays Landing is a place where your kids can ride their bikes down main street to the library, hang out with friends by the water, and catch tadpoles in the local streams. 

You simply can't find this kind of lifestyle in condo communities or even in most suburban communities today, where the idea of life revolving around main street, and festivals and fireworks has been lost.

Minutes from Shopping and Restaurants
Main Street is home to an ever increasing variety of shops, bed & breakfasts and restaurants. 

Shopping possibilities include antique shops, an old fashioned hardware store, a cigar shop a gourmet Italian market and of course a WaWa for those convenience items. It's also home to a variety of restaurants from casual dining or a quick pizza to the delightful waterfront Inn at Sugar Hill.

Just ten minutes away is the Hamilton Mall and its surrounding shopping complexes. Taken together this is one of the largest shopping centers in South Jersey, larger than either the Cherry Hill or Depford Malls. It includes a wide variety of stores, restaurants, big box retailers and a movie theater.

Want even more variety? You can be in Atlantic City in fifteen minutes with all the shops, retailers, jewelers, designer clothing and luxury shops you can imagine.

Your Boat Nearby
If you enjoy boating you'll be glad to hear that the Mays Landing Marina is literally at the end of the street!

Approximately a mile from your doorstep, Mays Landing Marina provides access to motor down the Great Egg River to fish and boat in the Atlantic Ocean and the back bays. 

There are numerous waterfront bars and restaurants up and down the coast or you can stop at Trump Marina or the Borgata for fine dining or gaming. This is some of New Jersey's best boating. 

If small boats are more to your liking, the boat ramp and freshwater fishing of Lake Lenape are only a mile from your door. 

The quiet waters of Lake Lenape are home to a variety of fresh water game fish. Year round you'll see fisherman out on the lake, and recreational boaters and sailors in the spring through fall months.
