David Carlton Pepper Farm is a historic home and farm located near Georgetown, Sussex County, Delaware. It is dated to the mid-19th century, and is a two-story, six-bay, single-pile frame-and-shingle farmhouse with a 1+12-story side wing. It has a one-story wing attached to the rear of the 1+12-story side wing. A one-story kitchen wing was added to the 1+12-story side wing about 1935. The oldest section of the house is the 1+12-story side wing and dates to about 1820 and is in the late-Federal style, with the main house added in the 1840s. The newer section features Greek Revival style interior details. Also on the property are notable mid-19th century outbuildings including a milk house, privy, and smoke house; a barn, a frame granary, a log corn crib, and an extremely early Sussex County poultry house (1916).[2]

The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
