About the Homes

Home types: custom single-family homes. There are no townhomes or condominiums.

Why a Custom Lot Community Matters Here

Hawkseye was sold as lots, not as a builder's set of models. That shapes what you find when you shop here.
No two homes alike: each home was designed for its lot by its first owner and builder, so size, finish and layout vary a great deal from one street to the next.
Lot size matters: lots run from half an acre to three acres. The lot can be as much of the price as the house.
Mostly built: nearly every lot has a home on it. A vacant lot comes up now and then, and building on it means choosing your own builder.
One section with its own gate: a current listing describes a gated section at the rear of the community. Ask us whether a home sits inside it.
We will pull the lot size and the build details for any home you are considering before you commit.

Recent figures: 2026 listings show an association fee of about $1,450 to $1,611 a year. One listing also shows a separate monthly charge, so check the resale certificate for every fee.
The gated section: a home in the gated section at the rear may carry costs for the gate on top of the main fee.
Fees change. We will get the current figures for any home you are considering.

What You Get

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: public water and public sewer. Natural gas is available, and some homes heat with electric heat pumps instead.
Roads: the roads are private, and the association maintains them.
Maintenance: each owner keeps up the home and the lot. On a lot of an acre or more, that is real yard work or a real yard service bill.
Rules: pets, fences, rentals and exterior changes are set by the association documents. Confirm them for the specific home.
Ask us for the association documents before you write an offer.

About the Taxes

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: Hawkseye has a Lewes mailing address. Whether a home also pays a City of Lewes tax depends on whether it sits inside city limits, and we will confirm that for the address. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
Call 302-549-5164 and we will pull the recorded figures for the specific home you are considering.
