Batson Creek Estates

Every home in Batson Creek Estates is a detached single-family home. Natelli Communities developed the community, and listings name NV Homes plans such as the Palladio.
Plans: both single-story ranch homes and two-story homes, many of the two-story plans with a first-floor primary suite.
Size: recent listings run from about 2,000 to about 3,400 square feet, with three to five bedrooms and a two-car attached garage.
Age: the homes were built from about 2016 to 2019, so they are newer than most resales in this part of Sussex County.
Lots: lots run about a fifth of an acre, and some back to woods.
Recent prices: 2026 sales and listings have run from about $530,000 to about $610,000.
The exact plan, size and lot of any home is on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

The amenities are grouped at the clubhouse.
Clubhouse: a clubhouse with a community room.
Fitness: a fitness room in the clubhouse.
Pool: a large outdoor pool with a sun deck.
Outdoors: an outdoor courtyard with a fireplace, sidewalks throughout, and common grounds planted with wildflowers.

Batson Creek Estates is complete. There is no builder on site and no new phase coming, and that changes how you buy here.
Resale only: you buy from an owner, not a builder, so there is no builder incentive and no lot or plan selection. You choose from what is listed.
Known costs: the association has been running for years, so the fee, the budget and what the fee covers are on record before you commit.
Newer homes: most homes are under ten years old, so systems and roofs are generally newer than in older communities nearby.
Supply: with 110 homes, only a handful sell in a typical year.
Tell us what you want and we will watch for it, so you see it the day it lists.

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: public water and public sewer. Listings show heat pumps with propane backup, and propane for cooking and tankless water heaters, often on a leased tank.
Maintenance: the association handles lawn care. The outside of the home is the owner's.
Irrigation: many homes have an in-ground sprinkler system.
Rules: pet, fence and rental rules are set by the association. Confirm them for the specific home.
Ask us for the association rules before you write an offer, and ask who owns the propane tank.

Read this first: Active Adults Realty is not a tax, legal or financial advisor and nothing below is advice. Confirm every figure with your own tax professional and with Sussex County before you rely on it.
The state picture: Delaware has no state sales tax, no estate tax and no inheritance tax, and Social Security is not taxed.
The local picture: Batson Creek Estates is outside the Town of Frankford limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no town tax on top. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
