Cape May Point is renowned for its seasonal bird and butterfly migrations, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts armed with binoculars. The area offers over 153 acres of natural beauty and more than 2 miles of nature trails, including a half-mile section on a raised boardwalk. You'll also discover a World War II bunker and two-gun mounts, originally built to protect the Delaware Bay. At the end of your street, a historic 157-foot-high lighthouse, constructed in 1859, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the picturesque Cape May Peninsula. This home may be sold fully furnished, right down to the silverware, with a negotiated contract. It's not a rental property and is move-in ready immediately. Simply unpack and start enjoying your new life in paradise. If you were to consider renting the property during peak season, you could potentially fetch a weekly price of around $3,800 to $4,000, accommodating up to 8 guests.
