THE LISTING AGENT OR SOMEONE ELSE FROM THE LAND GROUP MUST BE PRESENT AT ALL SHOWINGS. Looking for a small farm? Here is one +/-7.39 acres west of Bridgeville in Sussex County, DE. The owners are currently growing for Mountaire Farms in a single 40'x400' poultry house built in 1978. However, any potential buyers who want to grow chickens here will have to do their due diligence in talking with the poultry companies to see if they will place birds here and get a letter of intent saying so. In 2007, a manure shed and composter were built here along with concrete pads being installed on each end of the poultry house. The single house is still income producing and has had multiple upgrades over the years. The house was retrofitted with tunnel ventilation in 2005 with additional fans being added over time to improve static pressure. New heaters have been added as needed. The house is equipped with a model-40 Choretronics controller installed in 2005. New feed lines were installed in 2021 and the water lines were replaced in 2023. There is a 40kw diesel generator which supplies enough power to run the chicken house and the farmhouse when needed. Besides the poultry house, there is a small barn and an area which used to be a horse pasture. If not wanting to grow chickens, the poultry house could be repurposed for a multitude of uses from small livestock stables, a workshop, or just a storage barn. The manure shed could also be converted into another use. The farm is further improved by a +/-3000 square foot farmhouse that has had many upgrades over the years. The home has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. A new roof was installed in 2007 and the upstairs bathroom was added the following year. In 2010, a living room and a deck were added and in 2011 Rinnai hot water heater was installed. A Rinnai hot water system boiler and a 500 gallon (in-ground) propane tank were installed. A water treatment system was installed in 2015 and in 2019 the kitchen was updated with new custom cabinets, flooring and stainless steel appliances, which convey with the home. In 2022, the downstairs A/C unit was upgraded and they had the driveway blacktopped. They replaced the above-ground swimming pool in 2023 and it also conveys with the farm. The deck was refinished with Trex decking materials in 2024. The electric provider for this farm is Delaware Electric Co-Op. The sellers have solar panels at another farm which supplies electricity credits to this property which pays for almost all electric cost for the poultry house and the residence. These credits are transferrable to the new owner per a conversation with Sunrise Solar/Delaware Electric Co-Op. This farm is in close proximity to Route 404 & Route 13 making travel to the beach towns of DE & MD, Annapolis, Dover, or Salisbury an easy drive. If you are looking for a farm with added income, or just a small hobby farm for a few livestock and a garden, then this property may work for you.
