About this home
Tucked away on more than 20 acres with breathtaking, panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay, this extraordinary Eastham estate presents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Cape Cod history. Set in its own private world, this remarkable property embodies a timeless connection between heritage, nature, and coastal living. Originally constructed in 1780 and later relocated from Bridge Road, the home has a rich and storied past. For generations, it served as a beloved family retreat—a rustic hunting and fishing camp, a gathering place for simple pleasures, and a peaceful escape from the modern world. Known affectionately as “The House that Lives in Nature,” this special property continues to honor that legacy, seamlessly blending antique charm with the serenity of its stunning natural surroundings.
The setting is nothing short of extraordinary. Encompassing 20.3 acres, including 16 acres preserved in conservation, the land offers unparalleled privacy and sweeping views that stretch across the bay to the distant horizon. Every moment here is shaped by the rhythm of the tides, the shifting light, and the ever-changing landscape of coastal Eastham. Whether enjoying morning coffee as the sun rises over the dunes, taking a contemplative walk along winding paths framed by mature trees, or watching vibrant sunsets melt into the water, this is a property that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature in a way few homes can offer. The conservation land ensures that this serene environment will remain untouched, preserving both tranquility and natural beauty for generations to come.
Inside, the home retains its authentic character, with period details that speak eloquently to its historic roots. The warmth of rich wood paneling, hand-hewn beams, and a central fireplace creates an atmosphere of comfort, nostalgia, and timeless craftsmanship. Each room feels intimate and inviting, offering glimpses into a bygone era when simplicity, quality, and a connection to the environment were paramount. The living room, in particular, captures the essence of this special setting, with expansive windows framing uninterrupted views of Cape Cod Bay—a living work of art that changes with the seasons, light, and tides. Every glance offers a new perspective, a new story, and a constant reminder of the extraordinary location and natural splendor surrounding the home.
While steeped in history, the property also presents remarkable potential for the future. Whether preserved as a family retreat, thoughtfully restored as a historic residence, or reimagined to harmonize old and new, the possibilities are as boundless as the surrounding landscape. The land’s conservation component ensures that its privacy and beauty will endure, offering peace of mind, a sense of sanctuary, and an unparalleled connection to the Cape Cod environment.
Located in one of Eastham’s most picturesque areas, this exceptional property offers seclusion while remaining conveniently close to the best of the Outer Cape. Enjoy easy access to the Cape Cod National Seashore, pristine beaches, scenic conservation trails, charming local shops, renowned restaurants, and the unique coastal culture that defines this cherished community. Whether envisioned as a year-round residence, seasonal retreat, or historic restoration project, this home offers an extraordinary opportunity to own not just a house, but a piece of Eastham’s living heritage.
Truly one of a kind, this is more than a property—it is a place where history, nature, and possibility converge. From its origin as a humble seaside retreat to its role today as a treasured sanctuary, The House that Lives in Nature invites you to become part of its enduring story. With its expansive acreage, timeless character, and breathtaking panoramic water views, this Eastham estate stands as a singular offering on Cape Cod’s Bay side, ready to inspire its next chapter and captivate all who experience it.
