MAGNOLIA MANOR: UNIQUE 60+ ACRE GEORGETOWN FARM COMBINES POULTRY, LUXURY LIVING AND INCOME POTENTIAL. A truly exceptional agricultural property has just come to market in Georgetown, Delaware- Known as Magnolia Manor! The property combines a substantial commercial poultry operation, luxury residential estate, agricultural acreage and income-producing opportunities into one extraordinary package. The poultry operation features seven chicken houses with a capacity of more than 150,000 birds, currently growing for Mountairre. The property also offers significant room for future expansion, with the potential to accommodate up to a dozen additional chicken houses, subject to applicable approvals and permitting. Agricultural production extends well beyond the poultry operation. The farm includes approximately 48 acres of tillable land, along with four fenced pastures suitable for horses or cattle. Two stocked ponds, two large generators, a massive storage shed and two manure sheds provide additional infrastructure for a working agricultural operation. One of the property's most unique features is its relatively new solar farm, consisting of more than 5,000 solar panels. The system is capable of providing power for the entire farm, adding an exciting renewable-energy component to this already diverse agricultural property. For those who appreciate the land and the bounty it can produce, Magnolia Manor also includes a beautiful fruit orchard featuring apples, blackberries, cherries, peaches, pears, pecans and plums. A separate produce garden offers multiple varieties of tomatoes, squash and peppers. The residential portion of Magnolia Manor is equally impressive. Three residences are situated along the property's private lane. The original home is a classic three-bedroom, two-bath brick Victorian dating to the mid-1800s, offering historic character and a direct connection to the property's past. A newer three-bedroom, two-bath Dutch Colonial home with an in-law suite was constructed several years ago and provides modern living accommodations. A third residence serves as a rental home for a longtime farmhand who has lived on the property for more than 10 years and wishes to remain. With its combination of agricultural production, expansion potential, renewable energy, multiple residences, recreational opportunities and beautiful rural setting, Magnolia Manor represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly diversified Delaware farm estate.

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
