Rare 46-Acre Estate with Ranch Home – Your Private Sanctuary Awaits
Experience the ultimate in privacy and versatility on this exceptional 46-acre wooded estate tucked along a private drive in Houston, Delaware. This remarkable property offers endless possibilities—whether you envision a peaceful homestead with livestock, a hunter's paradise teeming with deer, turkey, quail, and small game, or a savvy investment opportunity with subdivision potential. Set far back from the road surrounded by mature woodland, this is your chance to own a true country retreat with complete freedom and no HOA restrictions. Two additional adjoining 1.1-acre lots are also available for sale, offering even greater expansion possibilities.
The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom ranch home features quality construction with 2x6 wall framing and 2x8 roof framing, along with a thoughtful split floor plan that balances comfort and functionality. The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with a center island that flows seamlessly into the great room, perfect for gathering and entertaining. Cozy up by the wood stove in the inviting living room, or step out onto the deck off the kitchen to enjoy your private woodland views. The primary suite offers a true retreat with a large attached bathroom and generous walk-in closet, while two additional good-sized bedrooms and a hall bathroom provide ample space for guests. Recent updates include a new roof installed in 2025 and a water heater replaced in 2022, offering peace of mind for years to come.
Beyond the home, the property truly shines with its versatile outbuildings and land. A detached 3-car garage provides ample space for vehicles and toys, while a large run-in shed offers perfect accommodations for equipment storage or livestock. The expansive acreage gives you room to farm, raise livestock including horses, chickens, goats, or cows, or simply enjoy the solitude of your own private woodland. Hunters and nature lovers alike will appreciate the abundant wildlife, and those with entrepreneurial vision will recognize the subdivision potential this rare parcel offers. Located just 5 miles from Milford's vibrant downtown filled with great shops and restaurants, minutes from Blairs Pond Park, Abbott's Mill Nature Center, and Killens Pond State Park, and a short drive to Delaware's public beaches and the new Bayhealth Milford Hospital, you'll enjoy country living without sacrificing convenience.
This is more than a property—it's a lifestyle opportunity. Whether you're seeking a forever homestead, an investment with future potential, or your own private hunting retreat, this 46-acre estate delivers space, freedom, and possibilities that rarely come to market. Call today to learn more!
