Welcome to this stunning nature oasis in Fair Hill, perfectly located just 10 minutes from both Newark and Elkton. This picturesque property shares a property line with the Fair Hill Natural Resource Area, a public park offering over 5,000 acres and 70 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Enjoy direct access to one of the best hiking loops in the park, just 50 feet from your doorstep, and explore the surrounding creeks, meadows, forests, and wildlife. As you approach the property, you'll be greeted by beautiful gardens and a tree-lined driveway that blooms midsummer. To the left, you'll find a fenced pasture, while a ranch-style farmette home awaits you on the hilltop, offering abundant privacy. You'll also find three additional buildings, including a detached garage, pole barn, and temperature-controlled shed/art studio with hot water utility sink. Step inside to an open-concept living room, flowing seamlessly into the dining and kitchen spaces. The rear of the home features three cozy bedrooms with four updated windows and a full bathroom. Enjoy ample natural light in the living room, which features a large stone fireplace, bay windows, and a full-length glass door. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2017 with a modern farmhouse style, including custom shaker-style cabinets, long custom floating wood shelves, Corian countertops, tile backsplash, slate floors, and all stainless-steel appliances. The adjacent dining area leads to a large screened-in porch (built in 2020) facing the backyard and woods, offering the perfect place to relax or entertain. Plus, the porch is maintenance-free, featuring a wainscoting cathedral ceiling, Trex decking, and wood fully wrapped in PVC plastic. The fully finished lower level was entirely remodeled in 2017, including plumbing, electric, new drywall, and floors. The media room is a fantastic space for family gatherings and entertainment, leading to a full bathroom with tasteful wainscoting, a tile floor, a Corian vanity, and a jetted tub with an overhead rain shower. The second half of this level is a large bonus room, perfect for another bedroom, office, home gym, or playroom. Through the barn doors, you'll find a separate laundry room and an additional finished storage area with custom shelving. Outside, the pole barn features skylights and glass French doors for added natural light. It's equipped with electric, an animal stall, a custom chicken coop, and plenty of storage for your workshop or toys. The fenced pasture connects to the pole barn for easy access and connects to the lush forest of Fair Hill Natural Resource Area. This home has been lovingly cared for by its owners, with additional upgrades including front and side doors (2023), roof (2018), HVAC (2016). With access to town and parklands, a pole barn and studio, privacy, and an updated house, this Fair Hill farmette has so much to offer. Schedule your tour today and fall in love with this one-of-a-kind property.
