Nestled on a spectacular 1.63-acre waterfront lot overlooking the serene waters of Rachel Cove, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, & extraordinary expansion potential. The beautifully sunlit custom home is situated in one of Orleans' most sought-after areas & is complemented by previously approved plans for a pool & guest house, which have since expired but may be resubmitted subject to current approvals & building requirements. Adding to its remarkable appeal, the sale includes an adjoining 1.78-acre waterfront parcel featuring approximately 335 ft of water frontage, creating a breathtaking estate setting with endless possibilities. Expand the existing residence to add additional bedrooms & living space, create a luxurious outdoor entertainment oasis w/ an expansive pool & patio area, & construct a substantial guest house to accommodate family & friends. Kayak directly from your property through Rachel's Cove to Nauset Harbor & the Outer Beach, dig a bucket of clams or simply relax & enjoy your own waterfront paradise. The property's natural landscape presents an exciting opportunity to collaborate with Conservation on the removal of invasive species, potentially opening up even more magnificent views across Rachel's Cove. With nearly 3.4 acres of combined waterfront land, this is a rare and truly unique opportunity.
