Covered Bridge Trails

Every home sold in 2025 and 2026 that we have seen has been a resale. The homes were built by Lennar.
Single-family homes: detached homes with a first-floor main bedroom, and some with a finished walkout basement. Listings that count the basement show much larger square footage.
Villas: attached homes sold as end units or interior units, also with first-floor living.
Size: recent listings run from about 2,300 square feet for a villa to about 2,900 square feet and up for a single-family home with a finished basement.
Garage: the single-family homes we have seen listed have an attached two car garage.
Recent prices: 2025 and 2026 listings have run from about $600,000 for a villa to about $825,000 for a single-family home.
The exact size and layout of any home is on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

The amenities sit together around the clubhouse, with the trail at the edge of the community.
Clubhouse: a fitness room and a gathering room.
Pool: an outdoor pool.
Courts: pickleball courts.
Outdoors: a dog park, raised community garden plots, walking paths and ponds.
Trail: direct access to the Georgetown to Lewes Trail.

The Georgetown to Lewes Trail is a paved walking and biking path being built along the old rail line between the two towns, and Covered Bridge Trails was planned around it.
At the edge: the developer granted an easement for the trail along the community's northern border when the county approved the plan.
Where it goes: the trail heads east toward Lewes, where it connects with other paths toward Cape Henlopen State Park and the Junction and Breakwater Trail to Rehoboth Beach.
Still growing: sections of the trail toward Georgetown are still being built, so how far you can ride depends on the year.
Ask us how far the finished trail runs today, and we will check before you tour.

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: Covered Bridge Trails is outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no city tax on top. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
