The sudden — although sadly not unexpected — drop in New England temperatures has us daydreaming of warmer days. As we gird our loins for the dreaded “fall back” you can catch us on the pristine shores of Nantucket Sound at 251 Green Dunes Drive in West Hyannisport.

Boasting an oceanfront expanse that spans 1,855 of your very own private beach sanctuary, the dreamy 9-acre estate is an all-season retreat to be enjoyed for generations. Its dramatic natural setting, nestled between Halls Creek, dunes, and coastal vegetation, can be enjoyed from nearly every vantage point thanks to windows galore. Blazing orange and pink sunsets and gentle sunrises fill the property as you watch sunlight and moonlight dance across the water.

Close to a 10,000 square-foot interior with eight bedrooms, nine full baths, and two half-baths, the property is eager to welcome family and loved ones into its fold. Whether you’re entertaining in the double-height living room, cooking up a storm in the blue-tinged, gourmet custom kitchen, or enjoying a relaxing afternoon lounging on the patio, there’s an inspiring space here waiting for you.

Days not spent enjoying the sand and surf can still be enjoyed in the resort-like indoor pool pavilion or tinkering on projects in the six-bay garage with separate living quarters.

The sale of the estate, on the market for $12,900,000, is represented by Ellen Valentgas of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod, Osterville Brokerage,  508-648-5086.
