Public Land Sale: 17.13-Acre Parcel on Lincoln Avenue

The Township of Buena Vista is conducting a public auction for the sale of a 17.13-acre parcel of real property, identified as Block 5501, Lot 21, situated on Lincoln Avenue. This vacant land, currently not required for public use, is zoned RA with an OC Overlay Zone. The objective of this land disposition is to generate municipal revenue, reduce taxes, and mitigate the Township's liabilities. The comprehensive scope of work involves the transfer of all township rights, title, and interest to the highest qualified bidder. Supporting documentation includes a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Letter of Interpretation regarding wetlands, approval for sewer and water allotment from the Buena Borough Municipal Utilities Authority (BBMUA), a Phase 1 Environmental Study, and a recent property survey, providing potential bidders with critical site information. Prospective bidders are explicitly advised to perform thorough due diligence on all aspects of the property’s condition, including environmental factors, zoning and development restrictions, and title conditions, as the Township does not provide warranties or certify title. While no formal contractor qualifications or licenses are mandated for this land purchase, successful bidders must comply with all sale conditions. The property is noted to have no existing structures, therefore no pre-inspection arrangements for buildings are necessary. Conditions of Sale and other relevant documents are available for detailed review online at www.buenavistanj.com and at the Township Clerk’s Office, located at 890 Harding Highway, Buena, NJ 08310, during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM).

The remaining balance, along with all associated costs of sale and legal expenses, must be paid in full by certified bank check or ACH Wire within 30 days of the sale date or bid acceptance, whichever is later.
