About this property
Peaceful Paradise near Beach, Conservation Meadow, Marsh and Forest
Consider—Thanksgiving—Christmas—New Year—Valentine's Day—on the Cape...
Keep cozy year-round with wood-burning fireplace, or step into the screened porch to feel the ocean breeze. Our roomy two-bedroom home sleeps 4 comfortably, enjoys beach access, great views and rare privacy and quiet. This peaceful Mid-Century Modern ranch getaway looks out upon one of the largest tracts of native prairie grass remaining on Cape Cod. All rental proceeds go toward the conservation effort.
And you get—
Barnstable Harbor's smooth, glistening beaches—high-tide swimming in summer, low-tide sand bar exploring all seasons. Romantic walks through meadow, marsh and woods. Cross-country skiing in snow. Abundant wildlife. Bird-watching. A great place for kids to learn about nature.
At the same time, our little paradise is minutes away from the Cape's shopping meccas, theaters, museums, music venues, excellent restaurants, hospital, supermarkets—all that human civilization has to offer.
Local favorite for walking and jogging, a three mile loop passes the house on its way to the village church, historic homes and Hyannis Whale Watch day cruise.
Outdoor gas grill, screen porch, TV, fast WiFi, laundry, full kitchen, fireplace.
Includes all bed linens, towels and kitchen equipment. Just bring food, bug spray and whatever you feel like wearing.
See you soon!

About the host
Hosted by Kitty Brazelton
I am a musician and a professor of music, and have lived on this property all my life. My great grandfather bought this 90-acre farm in 1896.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, these acres were used as a town commons—grazing, haying and cranberry bogs—community farms for the colonial villagers of Barnstable, founded in 1639.
A U.S. Navy admiral, my great grandfather ran it as a farm with cows, pigs and chickens, near the sea. But there has always been a trace of the ancient Wampanoag presence in the fields and thickets. My family's mission is to keep the land as it was. Timeless.
We abound with wildlife—deer, coyote, rabbits, groundhogs, possum, otter, squirrels, chipmunks, field mice, herons, crows, robins, doves, swallows, sparrows, cardinals, and more. Growing all around us are the native red grass, black locust trees, Eastern red cedar, colonial privet, wild rose, bittersweet, wild blackberries, thimbleberries, grape, persimmon, holly and ivies—to name but a few.

Why they chose this property
Novak House was built by my grandmother's farmer after serving in WWII . She gave him an acre to build a home for his family in front of the farm (now a nature preserve). Serene and practical— peaceful and accessible.
What makes this property unique
A deluxely comfortable, and ingeniously functional mid-century home on the edge of a beautiful preserve. The harbor and smooth beach are a 5-minute walk and 10 minutes will take you into the quaint village of Barnstable. Hyannis, the largest city on the Cape, with its malls, restaurants, shops, and nightlife is a 10-minute drive. Strong WIFI allows you to stay as connected as you like to the world beyond. If you like the outdoors and the cleansing peace that nature brings, this is your spot.
