About This Home
As of July 2025Fortescue, - it's for you! Wow! Located in Downe Township, Cumberland County, Fortescue is a hidden gem located directly on the Delaware Bay. Epic Nature Everywhere! Marshland salt plains as you enter are home to birds of all feathers, these include laughing gulls, egrets, blue herons, ducks, osprey, purple martins and bald eagles. Soon after passing the back bay at Higbee Marina, the small bayside town comes into view. It's almost like a "Time Warp" - admittedly the LTE signal strength was quite good for being so remote. And that's the point, if you want to get away from it all and live bayside, just one look and you'll be hooked! The property for sale is 115-117 Delaware Avenue. The dwelling is being marketed as a twin, there are two lots being conveyed. Although a twin, the current owner uses both sides as one home. Currently there is no separation of the two units. It may be possible for the future owner to use the property either way (as a single or twin) we are in consultation Downe Twp Zoning and Planning. Each half is a mirror image with both having 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath (4 bedrooms and 2 baths total). The property was originally Captains Quarters for local mariners. The interior is quintessential shoreline living. Exposed wood ceilings, hardwood floors in the upper bedrooms, and galley kitchens - just as they should be! The house will need some work and is being sold as is. Currently there's a private waste disposal system however reportedly Downe Township is in the process of having public sewer installed - no timetable yet. The décor oozes "outdoorsman" with poles and tackle, surf boards, and duck hunting gear intermingled throughout. What a spot if you love fishing, kayaking, or water fowl. Not direct bay front, but just across the street from bay front on Delaware Ave with good views of the mighty Delaware Bay. Also only steps away is a small public beach - sand, surf, and sail, you choose! The Higbee Marina is a few blocks away and is no joke. Plenty of boat slips and completely modernized, it's an impressive operation. To the immediate southeast there's a breathtaking seawall accompanied on the other side by picture perfect marshlands with dozens of estuary streams winding their way to the bay - simply gorgeous! 15 miles from Millville and a million miles away from where you are. Clear your mind, Fortescue unwind.
