Nassau Station

Most homes in Nassau Station are resales, built from the early 2000s on. A small number of lots have been sold to buyers who build their own home.
Size: recent listings run from about 1,900 to 2,700 square feet, with three or four bedrooms.
Age: the homes we found listed were built from 2003 through 2017, plus at least one new home built in 2024 and 2025.
Layouts: both single-level homes and two-story homes with a first-floor primary suite and a bonus room upstairs.
Recent prices: 2025 and 2026 listings have run from about $650,000 to about $850,000, with at least one home reduced to $699,900 before going under contract.
Garages: the listings we reviewed have attached two-car garages.
The exact size, age and lot of any home is on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

Nassau Station is a neighborhood of homes rather than an amenity community.
Clubhouse and pool: there are none here.
Trail access: the Georgetown to Lewes Trail runs along the community, toward downtown Lewes in one direction and west under Route 1 in the other.
Nearby: Cape Henlopen State Park, the Lewes beaches and the Junction and Breakwater Trail are all within about five miles.

Some lots in Nassau Station have been sold without a builder attached, and the association is small because there is little for it to run.
Your own builder: a 2024 lot listing said the buyer could use any builder, with no time limit to build.
Minimum sizes: that same listing set a minimum of 1,600 square feet for a one-level or Cape Cod home and 2,200 square feet for a two-story home. The covenants control what can be built.
A small association: with no clubhouse or pool to run, the annual fee has stayed low. Our older page described the association as run by a volunteer board rather than a management company.
If you want to build, we will check whether any lots are left and get the covenants before you buy.

Health care: Beebe's main hospital on Savannah Road in Lewes is about three miles away.
Everyday errands: Giant and other stores at Five Points, where Route 9 meets Route 1, are a short drive south.
Schools: Cape Henlopen School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

Nassau Station has one homeowners association.
What the fee covers: listings describe it as common area maintenance, reserve funds and road maintenance.

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: public water and public sewer. Homes we have seen listed use electric heat pumps, and some also have propane for a fireplace or hot water.
Maintenance: each owner looks after their own home and yard.
Building rules: the covenants set minimum home sizes and other rules. Read them before you plan an addition or a new home.
Ask us for the covenants before you write an offer, especially on a lot.

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: Nassau Station appears to be outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill would be 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.
