Hidden down a quiet lane on Georgetown’s desirable west side, this 1953-sq-ft farmhouse delivers the space, privacy, and character that are nearly impossible to find today. Step onto the wide wrap-around porch—perfect for rocking-chair mornings—and head inside to an airy, open-concept layout anchored by a chef-friendly kitchen: stainless-steel appliances, abundant prep space, and sightlines to the dining area and living room so no one misses the conversation. Two generous bedrooms sit at opposite ends - one upstairs and one downstairs - for extra privacy; the primary suite enjoys its own full bath, while a second full bath serves guests and the roomy secondary bedroom. There's even a full bathroom on the first floor for guests! French doors draw you out to a sun-splashed back deck overlooking 5+ unrestricted acres—ideal for gardens, hobby farming, a future pole barn, or simply soaking in Sussex County sunsets. With no HOA, low county taxes, and plenty of parking, you’re free to turn this property into the retreat you’ve always imagined. All of this tranquility is just minutes from Route 113, downtown Georgetown conveniences, and a short drive to Lewes, Rehoboth, and Delaware’s celebrated beaches. Peaceful acreage, modern comforts, and endless potential—schedule your private tour of 20852 Country Road today!

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.
