Welcome to 2547 Chance Road in Clayton, Delaware, where country living, privacy, acreage, and investment potential come together. Situated on approximately 14.4 acres, this property presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking for room to spread out, investors seeking additional potential, or those simply wanting to enjoy the rural Delaware lifestyle. The property features an existing 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with approximately 1,640 square feet of living space with open tillable acreage, a pond, and wooded hedgerow. The land provides opportunities for recreation, hunting, livestock, small-scale agricultural uses, or simply enjoying the privacy and space that come with a larger tract. For buyers with an eye toward investment, the property’s acreage may also offer potential for a minor subdivision, subject to all applicable county and state approvals, requirements, and buyer due diligence. Adding significant value for the next owner, a soil evaluation and septic system design are already on file, and the seller is offering a credit at closing toward the cost of a new septic system installation. Whether you’re searching for a country residence, recreational property, investment opportunity, or acreage with future potential, 2547 Chance Road offers a variety of possibilities for its next owner. Property is being offered in its current condition. Buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding subdivision potential, permitted uses, septic installation, property condition, and any proposed improvements with the appropriate governmental agencies.
