Investors, developers, and owner-occupants-don't miss this opportunity! 229 Cottage Street offers incredible flexibility, whether you're looking to develop, invest, or enjoy a spacious in-town lot. Located in Sanford's Urban Zone, one of the most development-friendly zones in York County, this property comes with exceptional potential. The Urban Zone allows a maximum road setback of just 20 feet, no density or height limits, and requires only a 33-foot-wide right of way for projects with up to 15 units.
