Rare Canal Front Offering – First Time on the Market Since 1971! Nestled in a quiet, no-HOA community off Sandy Cove Road, this canal-front gem in Holly Ridge Terrace is a rare find—homes in this small, tight-knit section of waterfront properties seldom come up for sale. Located just outside Ocean View town limits, this is your chance to own a piece of coastal Delaware with freedom, space, and direct water access. Built in 1997, this stick-built, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a thoughtfully designed open floor plan with vaulted ceilings connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Features include: Covered front deck, Enclosed side porch for bug-free crab feasts, Standalone gas fireplace, 2x6 exterior wall construction with double insulation, Dry crawlspace with vapor barrier, thanks to the higher elevation of the lot. Outdoors, enjoy 85 feet of canal frontage, a new bulkhead (2009), and a 26-foot dock. The canal was dredged back to its original depth in December 2024, making it navigable even at low tide—perfect for boating, kayaking, or crabbing right from your backyard. From here, it’s just a 35-minute boat ride to the Atlantic Ocean via Indian River Bay. Inside the garage, there’s ample space to store a 24-foot boat, keeping your vessel safe and ready to launch whenever the water calls. Additional upgrades include: New roof and appliances (2021), New well pump (2020), New HVAC system (2018), Kitchen renovation (2024), Luxury vinyl plank flooring (2025). Location highlights: 4 miles to Bethany Beach, Walking distance to Hocker’s new Crab House, Half a mile to James Farm Ecological Preserve, One mile to Fresh Pond Trailhead. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence or a weekend waterfront escape, this property offers comfort, privacy, and a front-row seat to the natural beauty of coastal living. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to be part of a legacy—homes in this beloved canal-front pocket are cherished and rarely leave the family.
