Watch the sun rise directly from your bed! Nap in the hammocks! Kayak from our dock! Located in the Salt Pond community, our waterfront property has three levels of living space; the top level hosts a 180 degree view over a beautiful 90-acre Salt Pond. Activities for all family members. Floor-to-ceiling windows looking east over the pond, which is teeming with wildlife including herons, ospreys, crabs, geese, ducks, migratory birds. The pond is ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding, wind-surfing, and swimming from our private dock.
