Developers are working on a new
community that consists of 63 small cottages that are being built with
sustainable features and modular technology.
“Set among the sand dunes of Old Wharf Road in Dennis Port,
Massachusetts, these one-, two- and three-bedroom homes combine classic
architecture, hurricane code coastal construction, smart design,
energy-efficient systems and the community fabric that has defined ‘cottage
living’ on Cape Cod for generations,” the developer, CapeBuilt Development,
said.
Heritage Sands is
community in more than 50 years, the company says. Located on almost eight
acres overlooking Nantucket Sound, the 63 oceanfront cottages range in size
from 900 sq. ft. to 1,350 sq. ft. and are available in 10 different models with
one, two or three bedrooms. The units are clustered around common greens to
create the same type of “pocket neighborhoods” that were created in

Studio Architects in
construction by Excel/Keiser Homes in
They feature compact efficient floor plans and classic
cottage architectural details. The houses feature state-of-the-art kitchens,
roomy living spaces, lofts, fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and spacious covered
front porches.
Priced from $365,000 to $671,000, each unit features
hurricane-rated windows, locally sourced materials to reduce carbon footprint,
cedar shingle siding, recycled-content composite decks, wood laminate flooring
and native, coastal plants and grasses that reduce the need for irrigation,
fertilizer and pesticides.
Crushed shell paths wind toward the 600-ft. private beach
dotted by fishing jetties and feature a private neighborhood launch for kayaks
and Sunfish. It also offers a gated private pool for residents, covered veranda
and clubhouse for homeowners’ guests.
Phase 1 of the development will be built out by fall 2014,
and Phase 2 will be completed by fall 2015.
