Property Details

Description

Welcome to this unique and stunning raised ranch home set on 13.03 acres in the serene area of Yorklyn which borders Hockessin & Greenville. Formerly Snuff Mill Tree Farm, this property is one of the few remaining farms in New Castle County offering a coveted farm tax exemption, providing remarkably low taxes. Ideal for those interested in farming, raising animals, or equestrian pursuits, this expansive land also offers potential for building additional structures or subdivision with due diligence by the buyer. The impeccably maintained home offers one-level living at its finest. A long, winding circular driveway crossing over a creek leads to a charming front deck with an awning, perfect for enjoying the breathtaking views of the surrounding nature and deer grazing in the pastures. Enter through the double doors to a vaulted foyer featuring a cozy gas fireplace, which opens to the spacious dining and living rooms. The main hallway leads to a guest bedroom and a primary suite, offering a spacious retreat with cathedral ceilings, ample closet space including a walk-in, and a newly renovated ensuite bathroom. On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find the gourmet kitchen, boasting solid wood custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and some newer appliances. The adjoining breakfast area with a two-sided stone fireplace provides a stunning view of the grounds through triple French doors. An adjacent step-down family room with exposed beams and a fabulous screened-in porch offer additional living space. The porch overlooks an inground kidney-shaped swimming pool with a waterfall and paver patio—perfect for summer relaxation. Back inside, the main level is completed by a half bath, separate laundry room, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath. Curved stairs lead to the finished lower level, which features a spacious recreation room with a gas fireplace, a craft room, office space, and a potential fifth bedroom or flex space. This level also includes a full bathroom, ample unfinished storage space, and a workshop area. From here, walk out to an enclosed brick patio. Outside, the property offers a wood shed and a poly house for growing plants and vegetables. Additional features include 2x6 framing during construction, 3/4-inch hardwood flooring, extra insulation, newer HVAC, a new water heater, a new septic tank, and a distribution box.
