$5.7M Jackson farmland slated for development surges on South Hope Chapel Road

JACKSON, NJ – A 17.4-acre tract of farmland along South Hope Chapel Road is pending sale for $5.75 million, signaling another major move in Jackson’s accelerating shift toward commercial and warehouse development. The property, listed by broker Natalia Roth of Roth Group Real Estate, is zoned PM1 — a designation ideal for light manufacturing, logistics, and industrial operations.

The land, located at 287 S. Hope Chapel Road, has been on the market for more than five years and recently drew fresh attention amid rising demand for large-scale industrial space in Ocean County. The pending sale marks a potential turning point for one of Jackson’s last remaining open parcels positioned for high-value commercial use.

According to property records, the site spans over 17 acres of open farmland with major frontage and includes an existing residence. With flexible zoning and proximity to regional routes, the parcel offers an attractive canvas for investors or developers seeking to expand warehousing and manufacturing capacity in the area.

The listing, verified through Realtor.com and local MLS data, notes annual property taxes of $7,548 and identifies the parcel under lot number 12-22301-0000-00024-0000-QFARM. While specific development plans have not been publicly disclosed, the property’s PM1 zoning allows for a broad range of commercial uses, including light industrial, storage, and distribution.

Jackson’s industrial growth continues along Hope Chapel corridor

Development experts say the Hope Chapel corridor has become a magnet for warehouse expansion, fueled by its access to Route 9, Interstate 195, and the region’s growing e-commerce logistics network. Similar properties have recently transitioned from agricultural to industrial use, reflecting a broader shift in Jackson’s land-use patterns.

Roth Group Real Estate confirmed the pending status but did not comment on the buyer or the project’s potential scope. Local zoning maps indicate the area is poised for further commercial investment as industrial developers seek new footholds in Ocean County’s limited supply market.
