For buyers evaluating the site for development or mixed-use plans, New Castle County planning has indicated that a process may be available for a major subdivision, subject to a site capacity calculation, zoning certification, planning criteria, process requirements, and County Council approval. A minor subdivision is described as being available by right, creating four parcels from the 98± acre parcel, subject to due diligence and County requirements.

Located in the Townsend area just north of Smyrna, the property’s highway and local-road frontage may support a range of future use considerations. The listing notes that the address details include 151 and 155 Anchor Inn Rd within New Castle County, Delaware.

In addition to farming operations for several years, the property has been home to a recreational paintball business described as Maple Shade Farm Paintball, and operation and supplies may be available or negotiable for a qualified buyer.
