Explore two exceptional custom home opportunities in Barnegat Light and Surf City, with the chance to get involved before design decisions are finalized.
LBI custom home opportunities are increasingly difficult to find, especially in desirable locations where buyers can still become involved before design decisions are finalized. Ziman Development is introducing two new opportunities in Barnegat Light and Surf City, giving buyers the chance to explore a custom home before the design phase is complete.

Two Distinct Long Beach Island Locations
Each property offers a different way to experience life on LBI.
One provides a bayside setting with open bay views in Barnegat Light. The other places homeowners just three homes from the ocean in Surf City.
While the locations are different, both offer something increasingly difficult to find on Long Beach Island: the opportunity to secure a desirable property while there is still time to participate in the design process.
Barnegat Light Custom Home Opportunity
Approximately 3,300 Square Feet With Open Bay Views
The Barnegat Light property is expected to feature approximately 3,300 square feet of living space in a bayside location with open bay views.
Situated on the northern end of Long Beach Island, Barnegat Light is known for its beaches, access to the bay and distinctive coastal setting.
This property offers the opportunity to create a custom home that takes advantage of its surroundings while incorporating the spaces and features that matter most to the future homeowner.
Depending on the timing of the purchase and progress of the design process, an early buyer may have the opportunity to collaborate with the Ziman Development team on elements such as the floor plan, bedroom configuration, entertaining spaces, outdoor living and interior selections.
Those interested in learning more about the community can also visit the official Borough of Barnegat Light website.
Surf City Custom Home Opportunity
Approximately 3,300 to 3,500 Square Feet Just Three Homes From the Ocean
The Surf City property offers a different LBI experience.
Located just three homes from the ocean, the future residence is expected to include approximately 3,300 to 3,500 square feet of living space with ocean views.
Its proximity to the beach makes the property particularly appealing for buyers who envision spending their time on LBI within steps of the ocean.
The home will soon move further into the design process, giving an early buyer the opportunity to discuss available personalization options with the Ziman Development team before key decisions are finalized.

Why Buying Before Design Begins Matters
More Opportunity to Shape the Home Around Your Lifestyle
One of the primary advantages of purchasing a custom home opportunity early is the ability to have conversations about how the home should function before every detail has already been determined.
A family that regularly hosts guests may prioritize larger gathering spaces and additional bedrooms.
Another buyer may place greater importance on outdoor entertaining, views, storage for beach equipment or spaces designed for extended family.
Getting involved early allows those priorities to become part of the conversation.
Floor Plan and Interior Considerations
Depending on the stage of design and construction, buyers may be able to discuss elements including:
- Floor plan and room configuration
- Bedroom and bathroom layouts
- Kitchen and entertaining spaces
- Indoor and outdoor living areas
- Material and finish selections
- Storage and functional spaces
- Features designed around the way the family uses the home
The exact level of customization available will depend on timing, architectural progress, permitting and construction requirements.
Custom Homes Designed for Life on Long Beach Island
A Long Beach Island home should work differently than a typical primary residence.
Families may spend entire days moving between the beach, pool, outdoor living areas and interior gathering spaces. Guests may stay for weekends or extended vacations. Entertaining often becomes part of daily life during the summer.
Those considerations can influence everything from the layout of the kitchen to bedroom placement, storage, outdoor showers and entertaining areas.
Ziman Development approaches custom homebuilding with the goal of creating a home that fits both its location and the people who will live there.
Barnegat Light or Surf City: Two Different LBI Experiences
Why These LBI Custom Home Opportunities Are Different
Barnegat Light
The Barnegat Light opportunity may appeal to buyers drawn to the quieter northern end of Long Beach Island, bay views and a setting that feels closely connected to the water.
The future home is expected to offer approximately 3,300 square feet in a bayside location with open bay views.
Surf City
The Surf City opportunity places the future homeowner just three homes from the ocean.
With approximately 3,300 to 3,500 square feet planned and ocean views, the property offers close proximity to the beach along with the convenience of a central LBI location.
Neither option is intended to offer the exact same experience. That is part of what makes these two opportunities distinctive.
LBI Custom Home Opportunities in Barnegat Light and Surf City
A Limited Window for Early Personalization
Both homes are moving toward the design phase.
As architectural plans, selections and construction decisions are completed, the ability to make significant changes becomes increasingly limited.
For buyers already considering a new construction home on Long Beach Island, becoming involved earlier in the process can provide more opportunity to discuss personal priorities with the builder.
This may include the way the family entertains, the number and configuration of bedrooms, outdoor living, finishes and other details that help turn a new house into a home designed specifically for them.
