The Granary, a new community of farmhouse-style homes and amenities, is minutes from historic Milton and 15 miles to anywhere. That small radius includes Delaware’s idyllic coastline. Active waterways. A charming downtown. And scenic countryside. Enjoyed together, it inspires a culturally rich lifestyle – at nature’s pace.
Set on fertile, family farmland and developed by a fourth-generation Miltonian, The Granary honors Milton’s rich heritage while creating a smart, forward-thinking community. Its holistic design includes walkable neighborhoods, vibrant shared spaces for fitness and reflection, and a new market center to spark connections and creative enterprise.
From there, all of Delaware is your oyster – a tasty, succulent delicacy waiting to be cracked and savored. The Granary invites you to start close to home. Then, explore the area to see how all the dots connect for an unparalleled, coastal countryside lifestyle.
Wander the Countryside on Foot
The Granary is synergistically connected to the Delaware landscape. Follow a fragrant path adorned with wildflowers. Bike the Milton Rail Trail to unleash your adventurous side. Drop a fishing line into nearby Wagamon’s Pond. Nature’s canvas expands across 110 acres of open space – steps from your backdoor. Ready to go further afield? Hike along 44 miles of trails at Redden State Forest under tall loblolly pines, oaks and maple trees.
Commune With Shore Birds and Terrapin Hatchlings
Just around the bend, Edward H. McCabe Preserve is a great spot for rest, relaxation and discovery, immersing you in native flora and fauna. Enter the trail near Milton’s waterfront shops and restaurants. Bring your binoculars to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, a marshland sanctuary for migratory birds. And keep a lookout for herons while playing 18 holes at The Rookery Golf Club. Or keep your eye on the ball for a hole-in-one.
Prefer coastal ambiance? You’ll find horseshoe crabs skittering along Broadkill Beach. Darling Diamondback Terrapin hatchlings dot the shoreline at Slaughter Beach each Spring. And plan a return visit in the fall to catch the magnificent monarch butterfly migration.
Dip Your Paddle into the Water
Pursuing adventure? Or ready to hit pause and soak up serenity? The Granary delivers your choice Du Jour – by pond, river and sea. A 20-acre wooded pond at Abbott’s Mill Nature Center of Delaware provides a boat ramp for launching motorboats and kayaks. You pick your speed.
Canoe down Broadkill River. Or try stand-up paddleboarding on the ocean. Cape Henlopen State Park attracts summer beachgoers with waves and dunes, while Rehoboth Beach’s lively boardwalk is lined with restaurants and shops.
