This remarkable 5+ acre waterfront estate is one of the most extraordinary coastal offerings to come to market in generations. Perched on the southwest tip of an exclusive community, it is Cape Cod's southernmost private residential land. The property commands panoramic, unobstructed views across Buzzards Bay to Naushon and the Elizabeth Islands, and then onto Vineyard Sound and Martha's Vineyard. The estate features more than 611 feet of shoreline, anchored by a substantial protective seawall that ensures both privacy and structural permanence, as well as a private, pristine sandy beach. A charming three-bedroom cottage currently rests on the grounds, offering immediate enjoyment while serving as an unparalleled canvas for a world-class waterfront masterpiece. Future development allows for a two-story residence designed to capture expanded views toward Great Harbor, subject to local approvals.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 654 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,307 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 231,739 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
