About this property

Privacy and Luxury on 9 acres Overlooking Ponds & Ocean

So idyllic it defies description – the best of both worlds in the prestigious Meadow View Heights in the West End. Nine acres of privacy and luxury in a pristine nature preserve overlooking Shank Painter Pond and Herring Cove, bordering the National Seashore. A renter's son said "The house is in the middle of nowhere and the edge of everything." Three minute bike ride or ten to 15 minute walk to Provincetown’s best restaurants with a path to Herring Cove Beach. Spectacular sunset views over the pond and ocean. Glorious views of water from every window – and two bedroom windows with views of Pilgrim’s Monument. Morning coffee on the side porch watching the birds and wildlife, cocktails on the front deck enjoying the sunset, luxuriating on the overstuffed furniture in the great room with soaring cathedral ceilings. Relax in this peaceful setting. Our home is beautifully appointed, gourmet kitchen, open floor plan, granite counters, large bedrooms, central a/c, wireless Internet, parking galore and dog friendly (must be approved by owner)! It doesn't get better than this.

A word about Shank Shank Painter Pond . . . It has been described as Provincetown's ecological crown jewel, containing the world's largest known quaking bog found on a barrier beach. Hawks, ospreys, and an array of rare fauna and flora are found in the Shank Painter Wildlife Sanctuary. Adjoining Clapps Pond is one of the largest freshwater wetlands in Provincetown, home to many seabirds, migratory birds, turtles, and river otters.

Idyllic stay
This property surpassed our expectations: the feeling of isolation even though you were a mere mile from downtown; the well-appointed kitchen and lovely decor; the views out most windows of nature and ponds, and more. We spent the days exploring different beaches and hikes with our 18 - and 20-year old kids, and the evenings playing pool in the fantastic basement. Kids also appreciated that there were lots of running routes right out the door. Will definitely return!

Winter Getaway
Our family had a great time in this spacious home. The great room provided a wonderful spot for a marathon of board games, and the kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation for our large party. The location is spectacular, and lent itself to hikes through the dunes and daily jogs to town. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of shops and restaurants that were open in the off season and the welcome of our dog in many establishments.

Dream a little dream...
1 Bayberry is such a precious place that one almost wants to fake a poor review just to keep the secret. But the reality is the opposite, 1 Bayberry is a "unicorn". It almost defies definition. The walk to the beach through the dunes is otherworldly, as if your vacation was to Tatooine instead of Cape Cod and Herring Beach feels like your private getaway. Who are these people who drove there? The approach to the home takes your breath away and the alternate sunrise/sunset views of the private bogs with ducks, herons and other wildlife leaves the life you left behind as far off from your mind as you dreamed. All this and yet an easy peddle by bike to the restaurants, pier and shops lets you leave your keys in your bag. The rooms afford distinct privacy and vantage points with a warm majestic center room where your friends and family comfortably join by the fireplace in the stone hearth. Night arrives, to the game room! Morning arrives, to the covered porch to sip hot coffee and tea on rocking chairs while the mist dissipates. The hosts were amazing and super responsive when we accidentally set off the alarm (oops, sorry Steve and Janet, did not mean it!) The ONLY downside is that there will be an end to your time at 1 Bayberry. Could not give higher praise. Our stay was recent yet feels like a dream we had, one afternoon, long ago...

PTown Oasis of Beauty, Comfort, Nature and Calm
This property is a dream come true for anyone who loves the natural beauty of Provincetown and wants to pretend for a time to live there, surrounded by that beauty, with all the comforts of a graciously and tastefully appointed home. Part chalet, part log cabin, the atmosphere is warm and woody, beds comfy, lighting that adapts to any mood, stained glass accents that delight, a vaulted ceiling that is just plain awesome with a stone fireplace equally so. Big enough for extended families and/or friends, but a spacious retreat for me as a solo traveler. You can see the amazing sunset from the deck that squarely faces West. Privacy ... Peace ... Pleasure ... Poetry. A place you want to return to ...

Host profile image
In 2005, Steve and I purchased a cottage in the center of town. "That," Steve said, "is that." And, oh how we LOVE Ptown!! However, a little over a year later as we were walking our black lab and Newfoundland down to the bay beach one evening, we passed a local real estate office. Steve suggested I "take a look at the board." He thought I would check to see how our investment was doing. But I thought, "Yes! A shopping opportunity!" The next day, Steve was upset I was "wasting our time" by taking a look at this house in the West End. The moment we drove up, he groaned about how we were "in trouble." The house was just like his grandparents in Minnesota on Lake Tetonka where he had spent many a summer as a child. Log cabin, cathedral ceilings with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. We were home. You will be, too.

Why they chose this property

If you're seeking privacy and the beauty of nature, while still close to the heart of Provincetown, this is the house for you. Nine acres of tranquility. Listen to the owls in the evenings. Watch the otters and water fowl in the pond. Maybe a fox will pass by. Can't make it for the sunset at Herring Cove? That's okay. Just watch from the deck at Sunset Point while relaxing with your wine/cocktail. Total peace? Priceless!

What makes this property unique

AMPLE parking - as many as 8+ cars. Enormous ballroom size deck. The side porch with rocking chairs allows everyone their privacy.
