About this home

Versatile 77.6-acre property offering opportunities for a future homesite, farmette, recreation, hunting, or long-term land investment. The property includes approximately 10 acres of open field and 67 acres of wooded land. An approved soil evaluation, commonly referred to as a perc, is on file for a potential homesite. Buyers should confirm the approval status, design requirements, and all building plans with the appropriate county and state agencies. The wooded acreage was selectively harvested approximately seven years ago and now features strong natural regeneration and developing cover. The mix of open ground, young growth, mature trees, and wooded habitat provides favorable conditions for deer and other wildlife. Existing habitat, cover, and field acreage may support hunting, wildlife management, food plots, agricultural use, or other recreational activities. The open field offers potential for crops, hay, pasture, gardens, food plots, or a small farm operation. The property is not enrolled in Delaware's Agricultural Lands Preservation Program, which may provide additional flexibility for future plans. All residential, agricultural, subdivision, and commercial uses remain subject to applicable zoning, permitting, access, environmental, and land-use requirements. Located on Cattail Branch Road near Harrington, the property offers road access and a combination of open and wooded acreage in a rural setting. Whether considered for a future residence, farmette, hunting property, recreational retreat, or land investment, this parcel offers several possible uses. Buyers are responsible for verifying acreage, boundaries, access, utilities, wetlands, approved septic areas, building requirements, subdivision potential, and the suitability of the property for their intended use.
