418 BLACKBIRD STATION RD Townsend, DE 19734

This exceptional custom-built estate spans over 5,000 sq ft of living space on an 11±-acre parcel—six of which are wooded with riding trails—and benefits from a farm tax exemption. A dramatic two-story foyer with an upgraded interior trim package, hand-scraped wood floors and a gas fireplace sets the tone for luxury throughout. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with a generous center island, stainless-steel double ovens, built-in coffee station and walk-in pantry, flowing into an expansive family room/playroom. A private first-floor office with frosted glass double doors offers an ideal work-from-home retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite features a sitting area (or office), spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, custom multi-head tiled shower, whirlpool tub and a large walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms (one ensuite, two sharing a full bath) accommodate family and guests. A twin septic field supports both the home and future additions. The walk-out finished lower level opens through double glass French doors and is illuminated by recessed lighting throughout. It's appointed with modern barn-style doors, a versatile entertaining space, rec room, flex room with closet, a full modern bathroom, wood stove, abundant built-ins for storage—and a custom cherry-wood-cabinet wet bar. Outside, discover an entertainer's paradise: a covered patio with hot tub, expansive porch, solar-heated inground pool fed by its own well and automatic pump (with built-in water feature), plus a wood-burning fireplace. The 40′ × 32′ pole building—with drive-through oversized doors, workshop area, elevated storage, 14′ walls and a 10,000 lb lift—offers tremendous potential as a horse barn. Combining privacy, impeccable craftsmanship and world-class amenities on a serene, trail-laced backdrop, this property is a rare equestrian retreat. Schedule your private tour today.
