If you’ve been looking for a country property with room to work, grow, create, and make it your own, this one deserves a closer look. Custom built in 2006 and situated on 1.1 acres along a low-traffic country road between Laurel and Georgetown, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,456 square feet with an open-concept layout, cathedral ceiling in the main living area, hardwood floors throughout, and propane-fueled radiant floor heat. The split floor plan gives the primary suite its own side of the home with a walk-in closet and direct access to a large utility room, while both spacious guest bedrooms have walk-in closets and share a full bath. Across the front of the home, a large, enclosed porch with multiple patio doors offers plenty of possibilities as a three-season room or sunroom, with a rear patio providing additional outdoor space. But the real appeal may be outside. A paved driveway leads to a 30’x40’ detached garage/workshop with solar-powered radiant floor heat, plus a separate storage shed. The fenced garden area is already home to fruit trees, flowers, and herbs, giving a future homesteader a great head start. The property needs some work, but for a contractor, renovator, hobbyist, or buyer looking for a more self-sufficient lifestyle, there’s a lot here to work with—and plenty of nearby public hunting land adds to the appeal of this rural Sussex County setting.
