The story of Twin Masts is one of "Coastal Harmony." For the retiree who moves here, it's about trading the noise of the highway for the sound of the wind through mature oaks. Imagine starting your Saturday with a quick match on the pickleball courts, followed by a three-minute drive into downtown Milton for a fresh pastry and coffee along the river. In the afternoon, you’re just a straight shot down Route 1 to the ocean, but by sunset, you’re back in the quiet of your wooded lot, watching the fireflies. It’s a place where modern luxury meets the timeless pace of a historic town—a community where your biggest daily worry is whether to hit the beach or the bike trails. At Twin Masts, you aren't just buying a house; you’re reclaiming your time in a place that feels like a permanent vacation.

Milton is widely considered the "best-kept secret" of Sussex County:
Downtown Milton: A five-minute drive takes you to the historic district, home to the Milton Theatre, Dogfish Head Brewery, and riverside dining.
Beaches: You are roughly 10 miles from the sands of Lewes and 14 miles from the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. 🏖️
Nature & Water: Very close to the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and the Broadkill River for world-class birdwatching and kayaking.
Healthcare: Conveniently located near Beebe Healthcare’s expanded medical campus in Milton and the main hospital in Lewes.

The HOA is designed to protect home values and the extensive natural buffers that define the community.
Approximate Monthly Fee (as of 2026): Estimated in the $225 to $275 range.
What the Fee Covers: Maintenance of the pool, clubhouse, and pickleball courts; landscaping of common areas; upkeep of the nature trails; and professional management.
Retiree Note: The community uses central water and sewer serviced by Artesian, offering the reliability and ease of a municipal-style system without the worry of private wells or septic maintenance.

The "Tree-Lined" Feel: Residents often mention that it doesn't feel like a "clear-cut" development because of the massive amount of forest that was saved.
Proximity to Lewes: You get the Lewes lifestyle and beach access without the Lewes property prices.
The Pickleball Community: It's easy to find a game or join a league right within your own neighborhood.
