FOR SALE

PRIVATELY located in the Wayside section of the Township of Ocean in Monmouth County, NJ, this very secluded single family residential PROPERTY which we have owned for more than thirty-nine years is for sale at the asking price of $1,500,000.00 and the HOUSE IS FREE ('cause we think that if you can afford our price, you'll tear down our brick house and build one to suit your desires and needs).

Our lot, designated as Block 159 - Lot 2, is approximately 1.09 acres and directly abuts the small feeder pond just below the large lake that is clearly visable in the photo below. Our house is just to the right and a little below the g in the blue words Kepwel Spring in the photo, right in the middle of the heavily wooded section. There are three other residences served by our private lane. We (happily) enjoy no "frontage" on township roads...we do own an easement on the access road in our deed though. The township collects garbage weekly from our yard...we do NOT have to transport it to a curb of the township street. (By the way, that big black splotch just above the words Kepwel Spring is Kepwel LAKE. The actual spring is closer to the bottling plant by the road.)

Our annual taxes are right around $9,000.00 per year. We have "city water" but no natural gas (we use propane delivered by truck for our kitchen range) nor public septic hookup...we have a private septic system so we don't pay septic taxes either. In summer, we can see only two other houses. The Garden State Parkway (exit 102) is only a mile or so from our driveway...and NJ Route 18 is half that distance just east of us (a little beyond the top limit of the photo below). Seaview Mall is about a mile away and Monmouth Mall is about 5 miles away (the back way). Except for the Kepwel Spring Water Company (grandfathered), the Wayside section of Ocean Township is totally zoned for residencial use. The local grammar school is about 3/4 mile up Bowne Road. Shotgunners will be interested that the Wayside Skeet Club is only 1.5 miles away. Our street address is 100 Cold Indian Spring Road (at the junction with Bowne Road) but you can't see our house from where our mailbox is.

Our building and property was assessed in 2005 at $487,100.00 but the LOCATION is worth more than can be legally assessed. If you want a UNIQUELY secluded private location in the shore area, you MUST SEE this location.

The reason that this property is for sale is that our kids are all grown and "out," we're both retired and our only visable income is from Social Security (and, of course, our private investments)...we'll probably be looking for a local condo.

Our personal contact information is immediately above the "For Sale" title, above.
