Our waterfront estate in South Orleans features 300 feet on Pleasant Bay. The house sits on three private acres on a peninsula overlooking the bay, Quanset Pond, Chatham, Nauset Beach, and the Atlantic. The extensive lawn, with underground sprinklers, offers plenty of room for fun and sun between the 17 room house and the bluff. A pathway leads down to the sandy beach that also has a wooden deck.
