Imagine waking each morning to the first light of sunrise stretching across the Delaware Bay, spending your days surrounded by the quiet beauty of the coast, and ending each evening as the sun sets over the protected landscape of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. This is more than a place to build a home—it is an opportunity to create a waterfront lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find along the Delaware coast. Welcome to Back Bay Cove, an exclusive gated waterfront community tucked along the northern end of Broadkill Beach, where custom-built homes, expansive natural surroundings, and a remarkable sense of privacy create a coastal setting unlike any other. Set on an impressive 1.14 acres, this waterfront homesite offers the space and setting to design a truly exceptional custom residence. Thoughtful architecture can take full advantage of the property's sweeping panoramic views, creating indoor and outdoor living spaces framed by water, sky, and some of Delaware's most beautiful protected landscapes. Here, the scenery changes throughout the day. Watch the sun rise over the Delaware Bay as you enjoy your morning coffee, then experience spectacular sunsets over Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in the evening. Wildlife, coastal breezes, open skies, and the peaceful rhythm of the water become part of everyday life. What makes this property especially compelling is the feeling of escape without sacrificing convenience. Broadkill Beach is known for its quieter, more natural coastal atmosphere—a place where life moves at a slower pace and the crowds of the larger resort towns feel worlds away. Back Bay Cove takes that experience even further, offering the privacy of a gated community surrounded by custom waterfront residences. Yet when you are ready for restaurants, shopping, entertainment, or a day exploring the coast, everything is within easy reach. Downtown Milton is approximately 15 minutes away, historic Lewes and Cape Henlopen State Park are about 20 minutes away, and Rehoboth Beach and its iconic boardwalk are approximately 30 minutes away. Build the coastal retreat you have imagined—a home designed around the views, the water, outdoor entertaining, quiet mornings, unforgettable sunsets, and time spent with the people who matter most. 1.14 acres. Waterfront. Gated. Private. Panoramic views from sunrise to sunset. Opportunities to create something truly special along the Delaware coast are becoming increasingly rare. Back Bay Cove offers the setting to build not simply a beach house, but a waterfront legacy to enjoy for generations.
