Where “island time” is already a familiar ethos, we’d like to petition to bring “pond time” into the lexicon.

After all, is there anything that melting into an Adirondack chair facing the smooth waters of a pond can’t fix? If this is a movement you can get behind, 87 Hooppole Road in Mashpee presents you with four acres of waterfront property on Johns Pond, with direct access to the water and pond views from nearly every room.

Here, you can embrace and fully live out pond time from the expansive paved patio, waterside fire pit, and private beach. Kayak, canoe, do a little fishing, or just contemplate the pond at sunrise or sunset.

Inside, the 2006 property puts the great outdoors on display with large windows wrapping the living space. Coupled with soaring cathedral ceilings in the living room, you’ll always feel connected to the natural beauty all around you. A large kitchen with an eat-in island and breakfast nook bathed in sunlight, a large dining area that looks out to the water, and an open layout makes gatherings, holidays, and summer cookouts easy to manage without feeling cramped.

Bedrooms and bonus space are plentiful, with a first-floor primary suite and guest bedrooms tucked away on the second floor. There’s a walk-out lower level that’s currently set up as a fitness space but could be transformed into a huge den, media room, and more.

On the market for $2,995,000, the sale of the home is listed by Michael Harney of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod, Falmouth Brokerage, 508-566-1563.
