About this property

This is a classically beautiful 1840's farmhouse that has been comfortably updated. The main house is handsomely appointed with antique and contemporary furniture, and has a living room, library, eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms and two-and-a half bathrooms. A roomy screened porch off the kitchen overlooks conservation land and a serene landscape and is the perfect spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining. After a day at the beach, enjoy the outdoor shower before a nap on the porch.
The original barn has been converted to a charming, bright and airy lofted guesthouse. It has a complete second kitchen and a huge stone table in the dining area that seats 10. This guesthouse has a full bath and sleeps four. All beds have covers and pillows, but not sheets or pillowcases.
The buildings are surrounded by gardens with wisteria, roses and flowering shrubs. The two-acre property is very private yet is close to all of Wellfleet's attractions: walk, bike or drive to the galleries and restaurants, the ocean beaches, the warm bay beaches and the famous freshwater ponds.
We rent Friday to Friday and have a seven-day minimum. Arrive early to avoid late-Friday traffic and enjoy some great local cuisine while we sanitize the house for you. Our house-cleaner is meticulous.
*Lease is required and will be sent after booking by William Raveis Real Estate
Important: Linens are NOT provided but a linen service can be arranged.

Keywords: Antique Farmhouse, detached guesthouse, near ponds, mile to town, three miles to famous Newcomb Hollow beach; freshwater ponds are closer still

Beautiful grounds with Moldy House

The grounds are landscaped nicely and the screened in porch with a dining table was great. Unfortunately the main house is full of mold. The kitchen counter is an old butcher block counter used for cutting in the past 30+ years and it is full of black mold. It needs to be replaced. The downstairs bathroom in the main house has mold on the walls even a bedside table was full of mold. The blankets in the main house were musty. The owners need to invest a little money to make the house healthy. The barn is nice. The oven in the barn doesn’t heat up.

Heavenly

The grounds were amazing. It was like staying in an arboretum! And the house had a feeling of Bloomsbury. Perfect.

Great stay in Wellfleet

We had a great stay in August at this property. The grounds are beautiful and the house is a classic old cape. The barn came in handy for the kids. The house was stocked with all we needed aside from linens, which we knew. It was very hot during our week on the cape and the house became stuffy but it is outfitted with many fans. The only other downside is the mosquitoes were pretty intense around the property and some of the screens need repaired. But overall we had a nice time and we're able to access both Truro and Wellfleet easily from here.

Really neat house with great artwork

The house - really two houses - were great for our family since the barn/loft worked well for the infant and his parents and the main house was great for the rest of us. Neat furniture and artwork - you could tell that the owners put a lot of time into it.

85 Old Truro Road in Wellfleet

The house is very nice and the grounds are spectacular. The only problem was the heat (not controlled by the owner) and the many breaks in the screens, so that we were all bothered by mosquitos on the great porch. Otherwise, great.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Robertson/Emily Jussila

One of the owners is a professional gardener. Maintenance at a distance is a challenge, so the garden is mostly shrubs, but contains many unusual plants, too. The rhododendron collection is extensive and concentrates on late-blooming varieties (into July). A friend is a rhododendron breeder, hence the unique collection.

Why they chose this property

Wellfleet has been our vacation destination for 20 years. We fell in love with this wonderful old house and its convenient yet quite secluded location.
