About this property

Privacy and Luxury on 9 acres Overlooking Ponds & Ocean - Dog Friendly

So idyllic it defies description – the best of both worlds in the prestigious Meadow View Heights in the West End. Nine acres of privacy and luxury in a pristine nature preserve overlooking Shank Painter Pond and Herring Cove, bordering the National Seashore. A renter's son said "The house is in the middle of nowhere and the edge of everything." Three minute bike ride or ten to 15 minute walk to Provincetown’s best restaurants with a path to Herring Cove Beach. Spectacular sunset views over the pond and ocean. Glorious views of water from every window – and two bedroom windows with views of Pilgrim’s Monument. Morning coffee on the side porch watching the birds and wildlife, cocktails on the front deck enjoying the sunset, luxuriating on the overstuffed furniture in the great room with soaring cathedral ceilings. Relax in this peaceful setting. Our home is beautifully appointed, gourmet kitchen, open floor plan, granite counters, large bedrooms, central a/c, wireless Internet, parking galore and dog friendly (must be approved by owner)! It doesn't get better than this.

A word about Shank Shank Painter Pond . . . It has been described as Provincetown's ecological crown jewel, containing the world's largest known quaking bog found on a barrier beach. Hawks, ospreys, and an array of rare fauna and flora are found in the Shank Painter Wildlife Sanctuary. Adjoining Clapps Pond is one of the largest freshwater wetlands in Provincetown, home to many seabirds, migratory birds, turtles, and river otters.

This large log cabin, tucked away at the very tip of Provincetown's West End, overlooking Shank Painter Pond wildlife preserve, was a perfect gathering spot to enjoy a family gathering. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking together. The bedrooms were comfy and spacious with beautiful views. And the fireplace, the heart of the house, was the perfect accompaniment to a chilly October weekend.

Wonderfully relaxing, roomy house with inviting places to hang out, read, talk, or just enjoy the peace and quiet. We cooked most nights and enjoyed sitting around the large dining table well into the evening. Bedrooms and bathrooms were well-appointed with charming bedding and plush towels. The location can’t be beat: walk to the beach, or to town, while savoring the woodland surroundings. We loved our stay and I wish I were there still!

Perfect Getaway

This property was the perfect escape for a much needed getaway. Close enough to all that the area has to offer but secluded enough to enjoy nature and the beautiful conservation lands. The sunset views were amazing and the fireplace was a hit among the guests. The owners were great to deal with throughout the process. Highly highly recommend this property.

Pristine and Peaceful

This property is gorgeous, yet located close to town. It's spacious and comfortable (the beds are super comfortable), and ideal for a group stay. You must take a walk on the path near the house to Herring Cove Beach. You will meander through the sand dunes and marshes and find your way to this beautiful, interesting beach. This was one of the highlights of our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Bustrin or Steve Stubelt

Host profile image
In 2005, Steve and I purchased a cottage in the center of town. "That," Steve said, "is that." And, oh how we LOVE Ptown!! However, a little over a year later as we were walking our black lab and Newfoundland down to the bay beach one evening, we passed a local real estate office. Steve suggested I "take a look at the board." He thought I would check to see how our investment was doing. But I thought, "Yes! A shopping opportunity!" The next day, Steve was upset I was "wasting our time" by taking a look at this house in the West End. The moment we drove up, he groaned about how we were "in trouble." The house was just like his grandparents in Minnesota on Lake Tetonka where he had spent many a summer as a child. Log cabin, cathedral ceilings with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. We were home. You will be, too.

Why they chose this property

If you're seeking privacy and the beauty of nature, while still close to the heart of Provincetown, this is the house for you. Nine acres of tranquility. Listen to the owls in the evenings. Watch the otters and water fowl in the pond. Maybe a fox will pass by. Can't make it for the sunset at Herring Cove? That's okay. Just watch from the deck at Sunset Point while relaxing with your wine/cocktail. Total peace? Priceless!

What makes this property unique

AMPLE parking - as many as 8+ cars. Enormous ballroom size deck. The side porch with rocking chairs allows everyone their privacy.
