156 Associates Road

Beyond the stone pillar at the entrance to Chapoquoit Island, the bustle of city life and tourist throngs begins to vanish as the road winds toward this classically charming getaway on the banks of West Falmouth Harbor. At the end of a long drive lined with mature trees and shrubs, the Cape-style residence is set on nearly an acre and enveloped by tall flowering plants and green lawn that rolls toward the water. The home's ideal position makes the most of the setting, allowing for appreciation of water views from every wing. This is the place for living the inimitable ''Chappy Island'' life. The idyllic backyard is a perfect spot for watching sailing lessons from Adirondack chairs and enjoying the abundant wildliferabbits, squirrels, deer, ducks, swans, seals, foxes, gulls, and ospreythat visit the property. The estate's sizeable private year-round deepwater dock is suitable for all manner of water sports and activities. Thanks to an enviable location on the east side of Buzzards Bay, the waters are smooth, the breezes reliable, and the fishing easy. The natural harbor landscaping offers protection from ocean weather.
