OFFER DEADLINE MONDAY, JULY 14TH AT 5PM. Rare Bayfront Opportunity with Endless Views and Incredible Privacy!Tucked away on a secluded lane of only eight homes in Broadkill Beach—one of Delaware’s last unspoiled coastal communities—this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Bayfront cottage offers unmatched views and incredible potential. Elevated on pilings and protected by dunes, the home features an open floor plan that captures sweeping views of the Delaware Bay and Cape Henlopen. The primary suite includes a private bath, while two guest bedrooms share a hall bath—perfect for hosting family and friends. While the home is in need of a full renovation, it’s priced at land value, offering a rare chance to restore in a truly special setting. Step outside to enjoy direct beach access where you can surf fish, kayak, paddleboard, or even kite surf right from your backyard. Broadkill Beach is known for its quiet, laid-back atmosphere, wide sandy beaches, and stunning views of the Delaware Bay. With no boardwalk, no crowds, and direct access to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, it offers a peaceful, nature-filled escape that is only minutes from historic downtown Milton and a short drive to Lewes and Rehoboth. Call today to learn more about this one of a kind opportunity!
