Waterfront development site on Kettle Creek in Toms River goes under contract for $4.25M

TOMS RIVER, NJ – A prime 3.41-acre waterfront property along Kettle Creek in Toms River’s Silverton section is officially under contract, marking one of the area’s most notable pending land sales in recent months. The site, located at 226 Kettle Creek Road, was listed for $4.25 million through Heritage House Sotheby’s International Realty and offers significant redevelopment potential with approved plans for a 14-lot subdivision, including three waterfront parcels.

Represented by listing agent Christopher Pizzola, the property has drawn strong attention from builders and investors seeking to develop new high-end homes along the creek.

Marketing materials highlight a new vinyl bulkhead stretching more than 250 feet, providing modern shoreline protection and direct access to the bay. The site’s combination of privacy, water access, and flexible subdivision layout has been described as a rare opportunity in one of Toms River’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Positioned near Silver Bay Elementary School and Toms River North High School, the property sits within a well-established residential area that balances quiet waterfront living with convenient proximity to local marinas, shopping, and beaches. The proposed subdivision map is available to qualified buyers upon request, though the pending sale suggests the land has already attracted a serious developer or investor with a clear vision for the site’s future.

Set along a scenic bend of Kettle Creek with bayfront and cove views, the parcel remains one of the few large-scale tracts still available for residential development in coastal Ocean County.
