Property Description

Welcome to your private retreat at 18605 Pettyjohn Road in Georgetown, DE. Discover nearly 17 acres of peaceful countryside living at this exceptional estate—conveniently located just 11 miles from downtown Lewes and 15 miles to downtown Rehoboth Beach. The property offers a total of four parcels that have been approved to subdivide. Step through the main entrance into a grand foyer featuring a circular staircase with carpeted steps, a striking chandelier, and warm sconce lighting. From this vantage point, catch glimpses of the kitchen, living room, and expansive family room. The open-concept family room includes a custom-built media and bookshelf unit and connects seamlessly to the kitchen, breakfast nook, and a walk-in pantry outfitted with a large sink, built-in shelving, wine rack, and mini-fridge. A secondary entrance from the breezeway leads to the spacious three-car garage. The kitchen is a cook's dream, featuring granite countertops, an electric range, a new refrigerator, and a single-basin sink set beneath windows that overlook the brand-new Trex porch. Cherry wood cabinetry adds both style and generous storage, with open sections perfect for display. Flowing from the kitchen is a formal dining room with large windows and views of the porch. Adjacent, the living room features a gas fireplace with a marble mantel and sconce lighting, and connects to both the dining area and an indoor swimming room. Separated by a sliding glass door, the swinning room is an oasis featuring an endless pool, waterproof walls, a slate floor, and ample room for relaxing. It offers direct access to the outdoors, ideal for year-round enjoyment. The breakfast nook leads to the back porch and also provides access to a private, first-floor primary suite. This well-appointed suite includes a faux fireplace with gas stove along with a laundry area, private water closet, and walk-in shower—perfect for in-laws or first-floor living. Constructed in 2023, the Trex back porch is partially covered for shade, includes lighting, an overhead fan, and a gas outlet ready for your barbecue setup. Upstairs, you'll find five additional rooms. The luxurious master suite includes a gas fireplace, a private terrace with awning, and a separate staircase leading outdoors. Its en-suite bathroom features a steam shower, quartz counters, and a private water closet. Three other bedrooms each offer unique features—one with a horse-stable theme and full tub/shower, another with a walk-in shower and private outdoor spiral staircase, and the fourth bedroom includes its own upstairs laundry area. Additional features include: R-45 spray foam insulated attic and conditioned crawl space, solar panels, newly installed 6-bedroom septic system, 6-inch variable speed well serving both house and irrigation, water conditioning system, and Rinnai tankless water heater. The property also includes a charming 25-year-old Conestoga-built barn with a conditioned and insulated upper level. Great for visitors, multi-generational living, or rental income, the guest apartment includes a kitchen, one bedroom, one bath, and a private entrance. A picturesque 70x35-foot pond, fed by its own dedicated well and electric service, creates a serene haven for wildlife. Two fully enclosed pastures, completed in 2023, enhance the landscape. One of them is thoughtfully planted with wildflowers that bloom in a stunning seasonal display. The owners planted 50 white pines about two years ago and nearby, an orchard of 20 apple, pear, and peach trees and beach plums has proven to be exceptionally fruitful. With no HOA, you're free to bring your RVs, boats, horses, and car collection without restrictions. This is a rare opportunity to own a private compound in a prime location. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, an equestrian haven, or a private weekend getaway, this estate delivers it all. Don't miss this opportunity—your dream retreat awaits!
