Country Quiet, Tons of Room to Roam. No HOA, & Deep Sense of Independence. Welcome Home to a Private 1.6-acre lot in Felton, DE! This beautifully updated ranch home offers the kind of peaceful, self-sufficient lifestyle that’s getting harder to find. Outside, the majority of the land is now enclosed by a wooden fence, creating a safe, private space for children, pets, or even a couple of horses. The lot has been resurfaced and professionally landscaped, with multiple fruit trees already planted and beginning to mature. A large shed (12x20) offers storage for tack or tools, while the oversized two-car garage has been freshly painted and sealed. For those who value independence and flexibility, this property truly delivers. There is no HOA — so bring your furry friends, your RV, your tractor, or your dreams of a small hobby farm. A dedicated RV gate and parking area makes travel easy, while the main driveway can accommodate an RV plus six or more additional vehicles. There are two separate entries to the property — including a private access on the left side that offer convenience and options for how you use your land. Inside, the home is just as impressive. A newer roof (2022) new water heater, and a new septic system and drain field (installed 2023) provide worry-free ownership. In 2024, a completely new HVAC system with all-new ductwork was installed. The wood-burning fireplace isn't just for ambiance on cold nights, it heats the entire home. Fresh new carpet and flooring flow throughout, so all that's left to do is move in and make it your own. The sellers are highly motivated. Their first grandchild has arrived in South Carolina, and they need to relocate as quickly as possible. They are not just ready to sell — they are eager. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey country property with space, freedom, and no HOA restrictions. Come see it for yourself — and come home to the quiet life.
