Description

The jewel of Nauset Heights is available for the first time in generations. Skunks Bluff is an elevated, verdant plateau overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and home to one of the finest waterfront compounds on Cape Cod. Located in the quintessentially New England Coastal village of East Orleans it offers unparallelled, sweeping salt water views and a mosaic of natural beauty that will take your breath away. These are the vistas that inspired Beston and Thoreau to pen their masterpieces. See whales breach...The jewel of Nauset Heights is available for the first time in generations. Skunks Bluff is an elevated, verdant plateau overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and home to one of the finest waterfront compounds on Cape Cod. Located in the quintessentially New England Coastal village of East Orleans it offers unparallelled, sweeping salt water views and a mosaic of natural beauty that will take your breath away. These are the vistas that inspired Beston and Thoreau to pen their masterpieces. See whales breach offshore and ospreys circle overhead from the expansive lawn of the main house, or walk down your private stairway to the Cape Cod National Seashore to harvest clams, fish for stripers or swim in the protected inlet. Meander over the dunes or drive out on the residents' side to pristine Nauset Beach, spanning nine miles and three towns from The Coast Guard Station in Eastham to the dune shacks of Chatham. The main residence is spacious and airy with a casual, welcoming ambience. Its four bedrooms, five baths and multiple gathering spaces comprise four levels. Indoor and outdoor spaces blend easily together and virtually every window showcases a distinctly captivating view.
