One option is to divide into two, three, or four lots. Assuming an extension of the lane off of Shell Beach Drive:

2 lots would measure 177 x 236 each 3 lots -118 x 236 each 4 lots - 88 x 236 each

A drawing of an 8-lot subdivision of smaller lots is available for prospective developers to consider. Simply call listing Broker Mary Kay Hopkins at 337-439-1079.

The lot contiguous to the 50' ROW (East side) is also for sale via a separate listing and offers riparian rights. An additional, separate listing on the West and North side contains 10 acres m/l.

Developers are urged to consider the possibilities of a combined purchase of this parcel with one or both of the adjoining properties to achieve a somewhat larger, prestige subdivision.
