About this property
Skinequit Pond view & access, short walk to Red River Beach on Nantucket Sound
Peaceful, private home (sleeps 8 comfortably, up to 10) at the end of a dead-end road abutting conservation forest and views from deck of large Skinequit Pond: great for swimming, paddle boarding or kayaking (use of our paddle board, kayak and canoe included). Walk or bike to Red River Beach (less than 1/2 mile from our home) - one of Harwich's finest beaches with plenty of parking. Central air, awesome large, sun-filled outdoor shower and large deck. Fire pit area with chairs. High speed internet, HDTV cable, gas grill, washer & dryer. CC Bike Trail is a 10 min. bike ride away. 5 min. drive to downtown Harwichport, 10 min. drive to downtown Chatham.

Why they chose this property
We love this unique spot on the Cape. It's a cross between the tranquility of a NH lake house property, tucked quietly next to Skinequit Pond and conservation forest land at the end of a quiet street, and situated conveniently down the road from one of Harwich's (and arguably one of the Cape's) finest beaches, Red River Beach with lots of parking, public bathrooms and a food truck during the summer.
What makes this property unique
When searching for a second home purchase years ago, we struggled between choosing a quiet lake house get-away in NH or a quintessential Cape Cod beach house with the architectural Cape house charm (absolutely perfect sun-filled outdoor shower), abundance of restaurants, ice cream shops, beaches, bike trails, fishing holes, theaters, boat excursions, Cape Cod baseball, etc. Miraculously we discovered this property that gives us both.
