Rare opportunity to build your dream home on 1.51 private acres in the highly desirable Mooney Mountain section of Ledgewood, Roxbury Township. Nestled among mature trees and surrounded by natural beauty, 53 Mooney Road offers the perfect blend of privacy, tranquility, and convenience.

Significant site work has already been completed, including the foundation, a 5-bedroom septic system, lot clearing and backfilling, and the construction of two retaining walls, allowing the next owner to move directly into the framing stage and accelerate the building process.

The property includes plans for a thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch featuring a 2-car garage, desirable one-floor living, and an open, functional layout designed for today's lifestyle. The lower level offers the potential for additional finished living space, a full bathroom, and a 5th bedroom, creating flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, gym, or recreation space.

Looking for something different? Buyers may choose to proceed with the existing ranch plans or explore the possibility of constructing a custom two-story Colonial to maximize the home's potential and take advantage of the expansive setting.

Offered as-is for $425,000, this is an exceptional opportunity for builders, investors, or end users seeking a head start on a custom home project. The builder is also available to complete construction for the purchaser, please inquire for details.

Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, recreation, and major commuter routes including Routes 46, 10, and I-80, and served by the highly regarded Roxbury Township School District, this unique property offers the chance to create a custom home in one of Roxbury's most sought-after residential locations.
