A wooded R-1 homesite on a finished public cul-de-sac in Jackson Township — curb, sidewalk, street light and utility pedestal at the frontage, ground that is flat to within two feet, and a certified boundary and topographic survey already in hand.
Fair market value $135,000 · No published asking price · Offers and inquiries direct to the seller
Most vacant land is sold on a guess. This one was walked, shot and certified in November 2020, and the drawing is available to any serious buyer. The lot opens as it goes back — eighty-five feet across at the street, one hundred sixty-four at the rear line — and the elevation across the whole tract moves less than two feet. There is no slope problem to engineer around and no boundary question to argue about.
Drawn from the 2020 survey, the Jackson Township land use ordinance, Ocean County tax records and utility service data. Amber items are open questions a buyer should close during diligence; they are listed here rather than buried.

On the lot area. The R-1 schedule sets a one-acre minimum, and this lot is 0.7718 acre. The note beneath that schedule reads that all lots existing as conforming lots as part of an approved subdivision in the R-1 district prior to November 9, 2010 are considered conforming in size. Lot 9 was created by a subdivision plat filed in 1987, twenty-three years before that date. That provision is the governing language and it is quoted here rather than paraphrased — but it is the Zoning Officer, not a listing page, who confirms it in writing, and a buyer should obtain that determination.
Oak Veridian holds this outright and is not on a construction clock. That flexibility is part of the offering, and to the right buyer it is worth as much as the dirt.
You have been losing out on finished Jackson houses that need work anyway. This is the other move: buy the ground, take a year with an architect, and put up exactly the house you want. Flat, surveyed, on a dead-end street where the neighbors are already there. Elms Elementary, Goetz Middle and Jackson Memorial are the assigned schools.
Infill inside a finished Jackson street grid does not come up. The survey is done, the ground is level, the street is improved, and every adjoining lot is a comp. Jackson’s 08527 median sale price is running near $600,000 at 52 days on market. Run a spec against that and the spread is the argument.
Land is the hardest thing in America to finance and the easiest thing to structure. Banks want twenty-five to fifty percent down on a lot loan if they write it at all. The seller is open to discussing installment terms, a lease with a purchase option, or a long option period while you carry entitlements at your own cost.
Terms are illustrative and subject to negotiation, credit review and written agreement. Nothing here is an offer, a commitment to finance, or legal, tax or investment advice. Buyer and seller should each retain New Jersey counsel — installment land contracts and lease-purchase arrangements carry specific disclosure and recording consequences in this state.
Cedar Swamp Road — County Route 527 — runs past the end of the block and straight into Interstate 195, the artery that connects the Jersey Shore to the Turnpike. More than a thousand housing units have been built or started nearby, and the graded pads are visible in the aerials above.
Public-record value estimates for the six improved homes on Tracy Place and the adjoining corner of Cedar Swamp Road currently range from roughly $479,000 to $1,104,000. Market figures reflect recent Jackson Township activity reported by public listing aggregators and move with the market. Distances are straight-line approximations.
Vacant land rewards the buyer who reads carefully. Here is the honest split. The one thing the seller does furnish is the survey, available on request to serious inquiries; beyond that, no report, testing, approval or engineering is arranged or paid for by the seller.
There is no published asking price. Interested buyers, builders and their representatives are invited to contact the seller directly with an offer or a proposed structure. The 2020 boundary and topographic survey, the tax record, the R-1 bulk schedule and the full aerial set at original resolution go out the same day on request.
