From its sweeping wraparound views to its private sandy beach on Nantucket Sound, The Windmill is a rare gem nestled at the tip of a secluded peninsula. This exclusive estate offers direct riverfront access with an impressive 30’ long deep-water dock featuring three boat slips on Herring River - an ideal setup for boating enthusiasts. At the heart of the property stands The Windmill House, a beloved Cape Cod icon immortalized in countless paintings and postcards. Rich in character and history, the home boasts wide pine floors, hand-hewn beams, cozy fireplaces, and windows that perfectly frame the surrounding vistas. Native plantings line the Nantucket Sound frontage, forming a natural buffer against erosion, while strategically placed jetties along ocean and riverside shorelines stabilize and preserve the beach from the prevailing southwest winds. A rare and remarkable opportunity - seamlessly blending classic Cape Cod charm, unmatched privacy, and the very best of waterfront living.
