Private Retreat Backing to Protected Land with Pool, Views, and Flexible Living

Opportunities like this are rare in Delaware County. Set on 2.86 acres and backing directly to over 60 acres of protected open space at Natural Lands Hildacy Preserve, this property delivers something buyers consistently search for but seldom find—privacy, uninterrupted views, and land that will never be developed behind you.

From the moment you arrive, the setting stands out. The circular driveway, expansive yard, and elevated position frame sweeping valley views that change beautifully with the seasons.

Inside, the layout is designed for how people actually live today. The large great room becomes the natural gathering space, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, full bath, and direct access to the covered patio—creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining or relaxing at home.

A first-floor bedroom just off the great room offers flexibility that today’s buyers highly value—perfect for guests, in-laws, or even a private suite. Nearby, the dedicated office with its own entrance from the foyer creates an ideal work-from-home or small business setup without disrupting the rest of the home.

At the center of it all is the eat-in kitchen, positioned to connect the main living spaces and complemented by an all-season Florida room—exactly the kind of bonus space buyers love for everyday living. Adjacent to the kitchen is the laundry room and pantry continuing the ease of first floor daily life.

The formal dining room showcases hardwood flooring, classic wainscoting, and a striking stone accent wall, and flows seamlessly into the oversized living room, highlighted by a large bay window, a second stone wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookcases, and hardwood floors.

Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms include a primary suite with a private bath and balcony overlooking the pool and valley—a feature that turns an everyday routine into something special. A large hall bath supports the additional bedrooms comfortably.

The lower level is built for making memories, with a full game room, bar area, half bath, and direct walk-out access to the pool—ideal for gatherings, celebrations, and summer weekends.

Outside is where this home truly separates itself. The fenced in-ground pool with water slide and diving board creates a resort-like backyard, while the open acreage and protected views provide a sense of space and calm that’s increasingly hard to find in this area. A large two-story shed adds versatility for storage, hobbies, or future use.

With approximately 3,700 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and a layout that supports multi-generational living, remote work, and entertaining, this home offers both immediate livability and long-term potential.
Lovingly maintained by its original owners, the home presents a unique opportunity: move right in and enjoy its character, or update over time to match your vision—without ever needing to compromise on setting or location.

Conveniently located just minutes from Route 252, with easy access to Media, major roadways, and the airport, this is a home where location, land, and lifestyle come together.
