About this property

Secluded Waterfront Retreat for 8 - Private Dock, Water Views & Game Room

Tucked into the trees on the edge of quiet Bourne Cove, this waterfront home offers a rare blend of seclusion and convenience — just minutes from shops and restaurants, but worlds away from summer crowds and Cape Cod traffic. Ideal for families, large groups, boaters, and remote workers, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath retreat sleeps up to 8 comfortably (plus a bunk bed in the basement for children) and offers direct access to Buzzards Bay from your private dock.

Bring your own boat or rent one nearby to explore the coast by water — then return home to grill on the deck, watch the sun set through wall-to-wall windows, or unwind in the basement game room.


* Gorgeous sunrise views through floor-to-ceiling windows

* Private dock with access to Buzzards Bay (24"-30" inches of water in the channel during low tide)

* Shaded by tall trees — cool and breezy in summer, plus AC

* 4 bedrooms + 3 full baths — ideal for families and groups

* Dedicated office space + strong WiFi — perfect for remote work

* Large dining table for group meals

* Game-ready basement with ping pong, board games & lounge area

* Outdoor grill on the expansive deck, outdoor table

What to Know
The waterfront is tranquil and scenic, ideal for boating, paddling, and relaxing — not beach activities.

Air conditioning is provided, though often unnecessary due to the natural shade and breezes.

You're close to local amenities — just minutes from shops and restaurants — while enjoying complete privacy and seclusion.

Perfect For
Family getaways or multi-generational trips

Groups up to 8 adults seeking peace and space (plus a bunkbed in the basement for kiddos)

Boaters and kayakers (bring your boat or rent nearby)

Anyone looking to skip Cape Cod traffic without skipping the charm

Perfect Idyll

The home is ideally situated in a serene and private cove, and features floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water from two floors. It was sparkling clean, handsomely furnished, quiet and lovely. We enjoyed easy access to explore Wareham, Sandwich, the lower Cape and New Bedford, among other sites. We loved the family history tied to the place and found Ann to be extremely helpful and responsive. What a treasure!

Christmas 2024

Great time. Spacious. Three of my children who live out of state came home for Christmas. The home was bright,spacious, very comfortable with earth tone accents. The beds were very comfortable. As my kids played games with each other, I sat on the porch with my dog, stared at the sun as it shone over the water, and reflected oabout my wonderful Christmas of 2024.
