Thirteen acres of privacy, a 40x64 drive-through pole barn, owned solar panels, and a 5-bedroom Cape Cod offering more than 5,200 square feet of finished living space. Properties like this rarely come to market. Designed with flexibility in mind, the home features five bedrooms and five full bathrooms thoughtfully positioned across separate wings, giving everyone their own space. The primary suite is a true retreat with dual full bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and a private sitting area. The main level offers an open layout that seamlessly connects the spacious great room, formal dining area, and well-appointed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a granite center island, and tile backsplash. Sliding glass doors lead to a four-season room with its own HVAC system, providing year-round enjoyment while overlooking the property's expansive acreage. A covered front porch offers an additional outdoor living space with peaceful views. The finished lower level adds approximately 1,800 square feet of living space, complete with a large recreation room, full bathroom with shower, workshop area, and abundant storage. Whether you need additional living space, a home office, hobby area, or guest accommodations, the layout easily adapts to your needs. The 40x64x16 drive-through pole barn is a standout feature. With concrete floors, 100-amp electric service, and oversized overhead doors, it's ideal for vehicle storage, equipment, a workshop, recreational vehicles, or a home-based business. The 16-foot ceiling height provides plenty of room for larger vehicles, boats, campers, or even a vehicle lift. Additional highlights include 320-amp electric service, a separate second-floor heat pump providing heating and air conditioning, owned solar panels for long-term energy savings with no lease to assume, an owned propane tank, and a long private driveway with ample parking. The 13.9-acre property offers a blend of open yard, natural landscaping, and wooded acreage, creating exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently located. Situated in Hartly, Delaware, you'll enjoy easy access to Dover, Smyrna, commuter routes to Wilmington, the Delaware Beaches, and Annapolis. This is the kind of property that rarely becomes available—offering space, versatility, and privacy that's difficult to replicate.
