Imagine the possibilities presented by 3.1 acres of rolling woodland and meadow, with two picturesque single-family homes. Settle into your own classic family compound, explore rental opportunities or development potential - or revive the tradition of a family farm dating back decades. The combined acreage consists of a 2.6 acre parcel with three-bedroom home with large screened porch, and a .5 acre parcel with a two-bedroom home with deck. Situated a stone's throw from Route 6, the private retreat is enhanced by a large fenced garden, multiple small out-buildings, greenhouse and large wooden shed. The two properties work in harmony together, while each also offers its own sense of privacy, enhancing the opportunity to explore your vision for life on the Cape. At number 13, a classic white-shingled Cape farmhouse sits toward the front of the property. With three bedrooms, a bonus room, full basement, living room, dining room and kitchen, the home is filled with charming features like a deep farmhouse kitchen sink, clawfoot bathtub and woodburning stove. Beautifully restored fir-wood floors run throughout the house, creating a soft honey-colored light. Traditional details like exterior rafter ends, wooden gutters and wood-framed window screens all add to the charm of the house. One of the very best features is the recent addition of a beautiful 17'x15' screened-in porch. Overlooking woods and garden, and with French doors leading into the kitchen, it's the perfect place for reflection or entertaining, with seamless three-season indoor-outdoor living. A private lane runs from the house through the rolling terrain to a greenhouse and several quaint structures from the property's days as a farm. There are extensive open spaces for those with green thumbs or farmstand dreams. The property widens as it extends back, with the central meadow surrounded by woods that provide near total privacy - along with space to cultivate or build. At number 11, a vintage 1920's cottage combines traditional charm with modern convenience. The layout of the home makes for a light and livable space, with a living and dining area, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a bonus room. The recently renovated and well-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, large fridge, and washer and dryer - while a deck off the kitchen extends the living area for outdoor dining. From inside the cottage, every window looks out at leafy woodland views. Surrounded by woods, it is private and peaceful. In the spring, lilacs and azaleas invite you into the yard. In summer the house is shaded by a canopy of trees yet still full of light. In fall the woods become a panorama of color. And, in all seasons, the home provides a harmonious balance of indoor and outdoor living. *** With easy access to Route 6, the main artery of the Cape, it's simple to get from your peaceful hideaway to all the local attractions. The restaurants, galleries and shows of Provincetown are little more than a 10-minute drive away. Or you can catch the shuttle to town from the end of the street. Wellfleet is just as close, heading the other direction. Truro is known as "the most rural town on the Cape," and with that comes a laid-back pace, lots of elbow room, and exceptional scenic spots. The dramatic dunes of Longnook Beach are just two miles away - a short drive or a lovely walk, jog or bike ride. In fact, all eleven Truro town beaches are within 5 miles of the property. At your compound on Whitmanville Road, you're in the country, but just close to lots of good eats and drinks. At the end of the street is everything you need for a perfect summer day - a fish market, farm stand, wine shop and sandwich shop. Other great local spots are: Savory & The Sweet Escape (pizza and home-made ice cream!, 1 mile), Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod (local wine, liquor and snacks in beautiful setting, 2 miles), Salty Market (country store, 2 miles), Captain's Choice (casual dining, 2 miles), Montano's (Italian restaurant, 3 miles), Truro General Store (2 miles) - and much more. Come explore this idyllic property in the heart of Truro.
