Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity to create your waterfront dream home on coveted Bass River. Set on a premier .35-acre (15,246 SF) waterfront parcel, 429 Highbank Road offers an exceptional canvas for the discerning buyer, architect, luxury builder, or developer to create a timeless Cape Cod waterfront estate. The existing residence and dock are offered as a tear-down/redevelopment opportunity. Enjoy Bass River frontage, a private dock, deep-water boating access, and direct passage to Nantucket Sound. Launch your kayak from your shoreline, fish the river, or cast off for an afternoon cruise and sunset sail. Expansive views extend across a private cove to the preserved conservation area, providing privacy, natural beauty, and enduring value. Waterfront opportunities of this caliber are increasingly scarce—an invitation to create something truly exceptional along the shores of Bass River on Cape Cod. Please do not enter or walk the property without a confirmed appointment.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Hingham
