Over nine acres, just outside the town of Seaford, Delaware! Great opportunity to buy a farm at a very reasonable price! 2-story Farm House has very uneven floors, some cracking plaster, and it needs some work for sure. But, this place has lots of potential, with wood floors, fireplaces, enclosed front porch, and more. Visualize its beauty you put on your finishing touches and I think you will be pleased. The two chicken houses, 40 x 500, do not have a contract with a poultry company. At this price you can just use the buildings for other options; indoor vegetable farming, storage, horses, sheep. .. use your imagination. You decide! Has a site with a separate electric meter and maybe its own septic, where a mobile home was previously located. Maybe you can put another mobile home there? Please check with the county and verify the septic and well status and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised that you can have a mobile home, for someone close to you, or even a tenant, right out your back door.

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.

Remarks: Great opportunity to buy a chicken farm at a very affordable, price. Chicken houses are approximately 40 x 500 and are believed to be built in 1986 and 1987. Quite a few upgrades have been done over the years (cooling pads, controllers, LED, etc. ) but I'm more will be required. Think about it, if the houses were totally upgraded and there was a contract it would be priced considerably higher. ..
