46.8 acres in Sanford's RD zone with a base density of up to 6 dwelling units per net acre and potential for up to 10 dwelling units per net acre through the RD bonus-density provisions. The density potential creates a significant opportunity for a residential development project with the ability to maximize the site. The property has already undergone significant preliminary development due diligence, including wetland delineation and impact documentation, NRPA Tier 1 permitting materials, topographic and boundary mapping, stormwater and erosion-control documentation, natural-resource review, and residential development planning. Utilities are located along Mt. Hope Road, providing existing utility access for the proposed development. A project pro forma is also included in the development package. Located near established residential neighborhoods, Sanford's growing amenities, golf courses, and the Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport, the property offers convenient access to Mt. Hope Road and surrounding communities. With significant acreage, substantial density potential, and preliminary development work already completed, this property presents an opportunity for developers, investors, and contractors looking to pursue a sizable residential project in Sanford.
