On sheltered Eel Pond, with a large, licensed deepwater dock and direct access to Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay, this waterfront property presents a rare opportunity to create your own Woods Hole compound. Originally dating back to the1820s, this classic New England home spans three separate dwellings – each with sweeping water views: a main 5-bedroom residence with a separate guest suite, plus two year-round cottages (one 2-bedroom and one 1-bedroom). Located on the village doorstep, with ample off-street parking and seclusion, you are moments from restaurants, shops, ferries, beaches, the vibrant harbor and renowned marine science institutions. Position, potential and provenance – and available for the first time in 70 years – this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to establish your own Woods Hole legacy in a premium Cape Cod waterfront community.
