With its scenic locales, low taxes and friendly neighborhood community, Sussex County is the perfect place for retirees to settle.
Throughout their 50-year marriage, Margie and Bruce Beacham asked themselves one question every time they visited a new place: “Would we like to retire here?”
They found their answer in 2018 when they bought a meticulously restored 1840 farmhouse in Lewes. With 3.5 acres, there’s lots of room for their two Labrador retrievers to romp. Family and friends who visit appreciate the pool and two guest cottages.
