Horse lovers look no further! This home and farm can be your own private oasis. With a well-kept house that boasts a new roof, large deck, swimming pool, pastures and a 5 stall barn, you can enjoy country living at its best while being just minutes away from shopping, restaurants and conveniences. Inside the home, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms, hardwood floors, an open and spacious kitchen, a dining area and a nicely sized family room with a fireplace. The large primary bedroom can easily fit up to a king size bed and has its own fireplace for cozy evenings in the colder months. Upstairs you will find a large storage room that could easily be turned into an office, workout room, game room or flex room for extra guests. Storage is not an issue with large closets throughout the home. The HVAC was recently updated and the home has been outfitted with plantation shutters in multiple rooms. Outdoor living spaces abound on this property with a large front porch, an oversized screen porch and a paver patio overlooking the pool. Your horses and other animals will love their new home as well! The barn has a water pump, and a feed bin and the separate fenced pastures throughout the back of the property give you plenty of opportunity to rotate fields. All of this and you are less than 15 miles to Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk, less than 10 miles to downtown Lewes and 11 miles to the popular Cape Henlopen State Park. You will not want to miss seeing this beautiful property.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Greenhouse / nursery
