Here's an Incredible Opportunity to purchase a home situated on the pond side of Broad Creek River in Portsville, near Historic Bethel. This brick-front Cape Cod offers LR, DR, KIT, FR, 2.5 BAs, laundry room, and 3 BRs including a master BR on the 1st floor. It features hardwood floors and a brick wood-burning fireplace with insert, plus a screened porch & workshop are offered. The beautiful 1+ acre corner lot stretches across Portsville Road to include a 2-car det. garage and small pier on the serene waterfront lot. This property is being sold in "as is" condition (due to a burst water pipe, which has been repaired, some drywall, flooring and fixtures needed removal and need replacing).

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
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Golf related
Recreation-Other
Veterinary clinic
Agriculture
Park & open space
