$55,000
One of the last truly buildable lots on Wilmington Island - and it's priced to put a shovel in the ground. This 0.17-acre (approx. 7,500 SF) corner homesite on Johnny Mercer Blvd is zoned R-2-A/EO with PUBLIC WATER and PUBLIC SEWER already at the street: no well, no septic, no costly site work to chase. It sits in Flood Zone X (minimal flood risk) - the designation insurers and lenders reward on the coast.
Buildable island lots almost never come available, and rarely at this number. Under Chatham County's substandard-lot-of-record provision, the parcel qualifies as a building site for a single-family dwelling with public utilities in place. Picture an efficient cottage or a smart custom build less than 10 miles from the sand at Tybee Island and the squares of Downtown Savannah - finished and sold into one of the Lowcountry's most tightly held markets.
At $55,000 - right at the county's fair market value and well below recent island land sales - this is a builder's or small developer's lowest-cost entry onto Wilmington Island. The math works for the buyer who moves first.
DISCLOSURE: The lot lies within the footprint of Chatham County's planned Johnny Mercer Blvd / Walthour Rd single-lane roundabout (SPLOST-funded; currently in final design, construction tentatively Q4 2026). A right-of-way strip is anticipated, which carries potential county compensation - contact the listing agent and Chatham County Engineering for current details. Buyer to verify all zoning, utilities, setbacks and buildability with Chatham County. Sold AS-IS. Bring your builder and your vision before this one is gone.
