With lots of charm and character this 61 acre farm is located near the village of Port Penn, visited by William Penn in 1682 and named after him. Mostly rolling cropland with some marsh and woods to the rear of the property, The Farm would be a great place for raising farm animals and kids. Featuring four bedrooms two full and two half baths with updated kitchen, new sunroom, many thoughtful updates throughout the home, porch, pool, pond, and numerous outbuildings for animals, dirt bikes, or hunting as The Farm is located within a large wildlife area with lots of deer and Canadian geese. An adjacent property is owned by Delaware Wildlands as sanctuary for extensive ducks and geese. Additionally, there is a three bedroom two bath one story rental home renting at two thousand dollars a month. Great for multi-generational living! Located very near the Delaware River to the east and Rte. 1 interchange several miles away. A must see for those seeking tranquil country living. Pre-qualification required for showing
