Very rare opportunity to own a historic piece of the much coveted Saquish Head on Saquish Beach. The property is one the largest parcels of land high and dry on the Head and served as the Officers’ Quarters for Fort Standish from 1863-1920. Much of this charming cape built in 1864 remains untouched and will bring you back to days of yesteryear. Located at the end of a cottage lined path, you will enter through a private yard with expansive rolling lawn that will take you to the water's edge down your own stairway. The wide water views are exceptional of Duxbury Bay, Clarks Island and beyond. This quiet paradise is a place that few even know about, but once discovered, you will not want to leave. The cottage is larger than most in the area and features 4 bedrooms, wood floors, and plenty of natural light and views through many windows. Just in time for summer, it's time to start enjoying days of boating, fishing, and relaxing on Saquish, a true escape from it all.
