Land for Sale in Millsboro, DE

Find Land for Sale in Millsboro, DE

Land around Millsboro divides cleanly into two groups. The first is platted homesites inside the established communities near Indian River Bay, most with water, sewer and community amenities already in place and a set of architectural guidelines to build within. The second is acreage on the farm and woodland roads west and south of town, where a parcel needs its own well and a state-approved septic system. Sussex County has been permitting steadily here, so inventory turns over faster than in the beach towns. Bryce Lingo & Shaun Tull handles land throughout the county.
