Welcome to Pinevale
Clever Living Starts With Knowing Where to Look
Pinevale is a new kind of year-round cottage community, designed for people who crave simplicity, nature and belonging.
Tucked into 19 wooded acres in Lincoln, Delaware, yet minutes from Delaware’s award-winning beach towns of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, at Pinevale you can have the best of both worlds!
You own your home outright. You lease the land beneath it. That structure keeps your entry costs low, your monthly expenses predictable, and your attention where it belongs, on actually living here.
Some places you settle for. Pinevale is one you settle into.
Discover Your
Perfect Floor plan
Every Pinevale cottage is designed and built by Great Outdoor Cottages, a Georgetown, Delaware manufacturer that has spent years proving that smaller and better-built is a category worth taking seriously. Their goal is to provide cottages that are well built, thoughtfully designed and ready to impress.
Residential-grade materials and expert craftsmanship — high ceilings, real wood trim, granite countertops, and full-size appliances — make 400 square feet feel like considerably more.
The Pinecrest
Model 210
2 Bed / 1 Bath
For those who want a dedicated guest room or simply a little extra breathing room. Real wood cabinetry, LVP flooring, and full-size Whirlpool appliances bring warmth and practicality together under one standing seam metal roof. The smartest layout for owners who want flexibility without going up a size.
The Fernwell
Model 300 K1
1 Bed / 1 Bath
For the solo owner or couple who wants a clean, open home that lives larger than it measures. Oversized windows and a sliding glass door bring the wooded setting inside, while wood cabinetry and granite countertops ensure the details hold up to daily life. An intuitive, uncluttered place to land.
The Haven
Model 300-L2-K1
1 Bed / 1 Bath / Double Loft
For the owner who thinks vertically. A loft level creates flexible space above the main living area — a second sleeping area or a reading nook — without expanding the footprint. High ceilings and natural light keep it feeling open rather than compact.
The Keystone
Model 300-L2-K1-P
1 Bed / 1 Bath / 2x Loft / Front Porch
Everything in the Haven, plus the outdoor living space that makes a wooded setting worth savoring. The covered porch extends your usable square footage while connecting you to the trees, the seasons, and the sounds of a neighborhood that feels nothing like a subdivision.
The Stillwater
Model 310-K2 P/EZ Lite
2 Bed / 1 Bath
For those who want the roomiest two-bedroom plan in the lineup without taking on more house than they need. The Stillwater offers two true bedrooms, and 544 square feet designed to feel open, comfortable, and easy to live in. A practical, well-appointed layout for owners who want a little more breathing room while keeping things simple.
The Solace
Model 310-K2 P/EZ
2 Bed / 1 Bath / Front & Back Porches
The largest and most fully appointed home in the Pinevale lineup. Two bedrooms, two porches, built for owners who want their cottage to feel like a permanent home from day one. If you're not inclined to compromise, this is your floor plan.
A Smarter Way to
Unlock the Best of Both Worlds
Lincoln sits at the practical center of Sussex County, placing you 20 to 30 minutes from Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, and Cape Henlopen State Park, 3.5 miles from Milford, and within reach of Dover and the broader Delaware coast corridor. Delaware's no-sales-tax advantage is a quiet benefit that compounds over time. The community spans 19.27 wooded acres, with 154 cottage sites set among mature trees that give every home a sense of setting, not just a location.
The ground-lease model, plainly explained. At Pinevale, you own your home outright and sign a ground lease for the site it sits on. Your monthly ground rent covers the land, water and sewer, and professional community management.
What this means in practice: a lower purchase price than a fee simple property, predictable monthly costs and no surprise maintenance bills. It’s a concept designed to put more people in a well-built home, in a well-run community near the Delaware coast. And it works!
All the Amenities.
None of the Checkout Time.
Resort-Style Pool
A place to gather, unwind, and make the kind of acquaintances that become actual neighbors.
Clubhouse and Fitness Center
A well-appointed gathering space for community events and a fitness center for when you want to take your routine indoors.
Dog-Friendly Green Space
Open, wooded common areas throughout the community, designed for dogs and the people who love them.
A Community That Runs Itself
Your home is yours to enjoy. The community - the grounds, the pool, the common areas - is managed on-site so it’s always ready when you are. A resident portal handles lease payments and service requests. The only thing on your to-do list is deciding how to spend your time.
The Fox
Already Knows.
Some people search for years. Others just recognize a good thing when they see it.
You might be simplifying after a larger chapter, planning your first real roots, or finally making the move from full-time travel to something that feels like home. Whatever brings you here, life feels lighter. Days longer. And home feels like a place you choose, not a place you settle for.
Our Pinevale fox is a clever guide who “unlocks” a simpler, more intentional way of living. Understanding that quality beats square footage, and a real neighborhood brings together beautifully crafted park-model homes, walkable green spaces and a warm neighborly spirit.
The fox in our logo isn’t there by accident. It is a clever fox moving purposely and wisely. It carried a key everywhere he went – not to lock things away - but to open new paths and new opportunities.
Already three steps ahead. The fox doesn’t stumble onto good things. It finds them, because it knows what it’s looking for.
This isn’t downsizing, it’s rightsizing – choosing a home that fits the life you actually want to live. Pinevale is a threshold – a place that “unlocks” life between the trees and the tides.
Discover Lincoln,
Delaware
Lincoln sits in the quiet center of Sussex County, close enough to the Delaware coast to make it a regular part of your week and far enough inland to keep things peaceful and affordable.
Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, and Cape Henlopen State Park are all within 20 to 30 minutes, while Milford, Bayhealth Hospital, and daily conveniences are just 3.5 miles away. Pinevale puts you here, in the trees, with the beach on the horizon and the traffic of resort living just far enough away.
More Than a Place to Live
Life at Pinevale is built around a simple idea: a well-run community makes everyday life better without asking anything complicated from the people who live in it. Programming that brings neighbors together. Spaces that invite use. A calendar organized around year-round living, not seasonal tourism.
Community Events and Programming
Pinevale maintains an active calendar of community events and neighborhood programming, organized around the rhythms of year-round living rather than seasonal tourism. From informal gatherings around the pool to clubhouse events that bring neighbors together, the community is designed to let connections happen naturally without forcing them.
The inaugural season of community programming will set the tone for what Pinevale becomes long-term: a neighborhood where people know each other's names and look out for each other's homes. Details on events, programming schedules, and how to get involved will be available to all residents through the Pinevale resident portal.
A Community That Takes Care of Itself
At Pinevale, the only thing you should have to manage is how you spend your time. Lease payments and community communications are accessible through the resident portal, built to be simple and actually useful.
The community's common areas, landscaping, and shared amenities are professionally maintained so the setting your home sits in stays exactly as it should be.
