Beautiful New Castle County Country Estate
915 Churchtown Road Middletown, DE 19709
Description
Located at 915 Churchtown Road near Middletown, Delaware, this 22± acre property combines a recently constructed residence with substantial acreage in southern New Castle County. The two-story home was built in 2021 and is positioned well back from the road, creating separation from passing traffic and providing a secluded setting. A long approach connects the residence to Churchtown Road while the surrounding land provides additional space for outdoor recreation, agricultural activities or other uses allowed under applicable zoning.
Inside, the home features an open floor plan designed to connect the principal living, dining and kitchen areas. The arrangement provides flexible space for everyday use and larger gatherings without separating the main living areas into confined rooms. Custom cabinetry adds built-in storage and a tailored finish to the interior. The home also includes modern HVAC and utility systems installed as part of the 2021 construction.
A finished basement expands the usable interior beyond the two primary levels. This area can accommodate recreation, media, hobbies, exercise equipment, storage or additional gathering space. Its finished condition allows it to serve a variety of purposes without requiring the immediate completion of unfinished rooms. Buyers should independently confirm the finished area, permitted use and total square footage through county records, building plans or professional measurement.
The attached three-car garage is both heated and cooled, providing climate-controlled space for vehicles, equipment, tools and year-round projects. The garage capacity is particularly useful for a property of this size, where owners may need room for tractors, utility vehicles, recreational equipment or property-maintenance supplies. A walk-in secure safe room provides dedicated storage for firearms, valuables, documents or other items requiring controlled access.
A backup generator supports continued operation of essential household systems during electrical interruptions. This feature complements the home’s modern mechanical and utility infrastructure and may be especially useful for a residence located on acreage. Buyers should verify the generator’s capacity, fuel source, service history and the specific systems connected to it.
The 22± acre setting provides room for a range of rural and recreational activities. Potential uses may include gardening, small-scale agriculture, trails, outdoor recreation, wildlife observation or additional accessory structures, subject to New Castle County approvals, zoning requirements, easements and deed restrictions. The property is identified within New Castle County’s Suburban zoning district. Prospective buyers should contact the county directly regarding their intended use, subdivision potential, permitted structures and applicable land-use regulations.
Although the property provides a country setting, it remains within driving distance of Middletown’s commercial services, restaurants, schools and medical providers. Nearby recreational destinations include Back Creek Golf Club, Charles E. Price Memorial Park, Lums Pond State Park and the C&D Canal area. Historic Chesapeake City offers waterfront dining, local shops, canal trails and boating-related attractions within the surrounding region.
Approximate driving distances include 4 miles to Middletown, 9 miles to Chesapeake City, Maryland, 9 miles to Odessa, 10 miles to Townsend, 14 miles to Delaware City, 16 miles to Newark and 17 miles to Elkton, Maryland. Distances and travel times may vary depending on the route and traffic conditions.
This property presents a combination of acreage, a 2021 residence, a finished basement, climate-controlled garage space, secure storage and backup power near the growing Middletown area. Property characteristics, acreage, improvements, utilities, zoning and permitted uses should be independently verified by the buyer.
