Saltwind

No home builder has been named in the county record we read.
Home type: single-family homes.
Lot layout: a cluster subdivision, which groups smaller lots together so more land stays open.
Builder: not named yet in the record.
When a builder releases plans and prices, we will put them on this page.

Saltwind is planned without an amenity package.
What is not here: no clubhouse, pool or amenity center appears in the county approval we read.
What that means: nothing shared to build, staff or repair, which keeps the cost of owning down. Amenities nearby are public: parks, trails, beaches and town.
If you want a pool and clubhouse, see the three communities further down this page.

Saltwind is the marketing name. The county record uses the old one.
The old name: this community was filed with Sussex County as Peck Farm.
Why it matters: permit history, the original plan and the 17 conditions are filed under Peck Farm. A search for Saltwind will not find them.
Density: 128 homesites on 64 acres is two per acre, which the cluster plan makes possible on AR-1 ground.
Ask us and we will pull the Peck Farm file.

What it will likely cover: common areas and stormwater facilities, as on most Sussex subdivisions. We will confirm from the documents.

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: Saltwind was approved by Sussex County and sits outside any town limits, 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 may not reflect what you will pay.
New homes: a new home is assessed once it is finished, so the first tax bill may cover only the land.
Call 302-549-5164 and we will pull the recorded figures once homes are on the tax rolls.
