Discover 12 expansive acres in Frankford offering the perfect "blank canvas" for homeowners, hobbyists, and investors alike. This property features a solidly built 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home designed for longevity and functional living. The residence boasts a versatile enclosed front porch and a rare, full third-floor walk-up attic that is ready for your vision—ideal for a primary suite, home office, or recreation room. The exterior of the property is built for utility and growth. A massive detached garage provides ample space for multiple vehicles and serves as a perfect workshop, complemented by an additional storage shed and a dedicated fenced area next to the home for pets. With 12 acres at your disposal, there is plenty of room for a large-scale pole barn to house your boats, RVs, or equipment. Investors and developers will find significant value here: per Sussex County Planning and Zoning, this parcel would be eligible for a minor subdivision (up to 5 lots plus residual lands). Alternatively, you can lease the acreage to a local farmer to maintain the property’s agricultural heritage. Whether you are looking to create a private estate or pursue a development project, this property offers rare flexibility just a short drive from Delaware’s beaches and tax-free shopping.
