Jacobus Creek Farm, this high quality Gentleman's Farm is acre for acre one of the sweetest and finest recreational and private homestead properties in all of Kent County, Maryland. The Gorgeous Historic Home dating back to 1743 serves as a very comfortable respite for a weekend getaway, or cozy abode for full time tranquil and peaceful living. The approach, the setting, layout, and future potential for this property are simply incredible. To say that this property has it all is an understatement! The property features include 119+/- total acres of which 52+/- are mature hardwoods and pine, 38+/- are quality tillable acres, a 10 1/2 acre lake, a 2 acre pond, a gorgeous mature oak tree lined driveway, and a well landscaped yard. The property also boasts 800+/- feet of stable shoreline at the head of Jacobs Creek, a tributary of Still Pond Creek which feeds into the Chesapeake Bay. The deer, waterfowl, and turkey hunting, as well as the trophy bass fishing on this farm are as good as it gets! The historically significant 4300 sq. ft. home referred to as Stanley's Hope was originally built in 1743 and is in remarkable condition. The original Jacobus Creek Farm home was one of two homes in Kent County to be built in 1743 and was originally a one and a half story brick home measuring approximately 20'x 40'. Several quality renovations have taken place over the lifetime of the home including construction of two additional first floor primary suite wings on each end of the original home. Presently the home features 7 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths, basement kitchen with original cooking fireplace, formal living and dining rooms with brick fireplaces, a den with fireplace, and a lovely enclosed brick floored porch/library overlooking the fields sloping down to the expansive lake. Other features of the home include antique random width wood floors, extensive brick flooring, built in cabinetry, newly replaced five zoned heating mechanical unit, on demand water heater, and much more. This property is governed by an MET Conservation easement. Two additional half acre lots are included.
