Property Description
An exceptional opportunity to own four parcels totaling approximately 14.7 acres along scenic Betts Pond, just west of Millsboro. Properties with this combination of acreage, waterfront, privacy, and potential rarely become available.
The main 3-acre parcel features a residence with a breezeway, attached 2-car garage, indoor in-ground pool, and a 30' x 40' stable/barn. The home is in need of renovation and is being offered as an opportunity for restoration, remodeling, or redevelopment. The parcel enjoys beautiful high-ground waterfront with stunning views of Betts Pond with much potential for subdividing
An additional adjacent 5.21-acre parcel offers more premium waterfront acreage. The two parcels have approximately 670 feet of road frontage and 800 ft of pond frontage , providing excellent access and a variety of potential uses including several road frontage lots with water front . A home from the late 1700s is included but is considered of no value although there is potential for the right person.
Also included and adjacent to the 5 acre parcel is a unique 6.5-acre parcel, primarily wetlands, featuring a private island and peninsula that create a remarkable natural setting for wildlife, recreation, and outdoor enjoyment.
Situated on a quiet road with easy access to Rt 113 and Millsboro's shopping, restaurants, schools, and medical facilities, this property offers the best of both worlds—peaceful waterfront living and convenient access to town amenities.
Whether you're looking to create a private estate, family compound, equestrian property, recreational retreat, or investment opportunity, this rare Betts Pond offering provides endless possibilities in a highly desirable location.
