Rarely does an opportunity like this become available so close to Delaware’s coastal resorts. Offering approximately 2.09 acres on Double Bridges Road, this expansive parcel provides the space, privacy, and flexibility to create your own coastal estate—just minutes from Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, Ocean View and Ocean City, Maryland. Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of Sussex County, the property combines the best of both worlds: privacy and open space without giving up proximity to the beach. With approximately 150 feet of frontage and 606 feet of depth, there is plenty of room to design a substantial custom home, pool, gardens, outdoor living areas and additional structures, subject to applicable approvals. The property is kitty-corner to the Assawoman Wildlife Area, providing a unique natural setting and helping create a sense of separation from the more heavily developed resort areas. A wooded front portion of the property provides a natural buffer from Double Bridges Road, while the rear portion opens toward an undeveloped agricultural field, creating expansive views and beautiful sunsets. Build Your Coastal Dream An additional advantage is the availability of professionally prepared plans for an approximately 2,500-square-foot, 6-bedroom custom home, which may be included with the sale if desired. Whether you choose to utilize the existing plans or create something entirely your own, this property offers the rare opportunity to build a home specifically designed around your lifestyle. Site evaluation information for septic and water is already on file, providing an important head start for future planning. The property also offers no HOA, no monthly HOA fees and no builder tie-in, giving you the freedom to select your own builder and create a property that truly reflects your vision. A Private Setting Just Minutes From the Beach Despite its secluded feel, the location puts you within easy reach of the area's most popular coastal destinations: Approximately 4 miles to Bethany Beach Minutes to Fenwick Island Convenient to Ocean View and Ocean City, MD Easy access to Rehoboth Beach, shopping, restaurants and entertainment Close to beaches, boating, golf, dining and all that coastal Sussex County has to offer Imagine arriving home after a day at the beach, leaving the resort traffic behind and retreating to your own private 2-acre coastal estate.

Large acreage this close to the beach is increasingly difficult to find. With no HOA, no builder restriction, existing site information, custom-home plans available and an exceptionally private setting, 2.09 acres on Double Bridges Road represents a rare opportunity to build something truly special at the Delaware coast.

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Greenhouse / nursery
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
