Tepache Farms

No home builder has been named in the county record we read.
Home type: single-family homes.
Lot layout: a standard subdivision, not a cluster, so the lots are larger and there is less shared open space.
Builder: not named yet in the record.
When a builder releases plans and prices, we will put them on this page.

Tepache Farms 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.

Tepache Farms is a standard subdivision. Most recent Sussex approvals are cluster plans.
The arithmetic: 24.27 acres for 21 homesites is about 1.2 acres of land per home, counting roads and any common area.
Cluster versus standard: a cluster plan groups smaller lots and keeps more shared open space. A standard plan gives each home a larger lot of its own.
Scale: 21 homesites. That is the whole community.
Ask us to compare it with a cluster community a few miles away.

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: Tepache Farms 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.
