Ivy Dale Farm, also known as Ivy Green and the Hoffecker Farm, is a historic home located near Smyrna, Kent County, Delaware. It built about 1786, as a modest house, probably erected on the "Resurrection Manor" plan, with a rear kitchen outbuilding. It was remodeled and enlarged in 1845, in a Georgian plan. The brick veneer house is two-stories, five bays wide, with a gable roof and rear wing. The front facade features a three bay, centered, frame porch. It was the home of Congressman John H. Hoffecker and his son Congressman Walter O. Hoffecker.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
