Over 15,000 years ago, large chunks of glaciers broke off and
were pitted into the earth’s natural land. These massive land
contours evolved into Kettle Ponds, known as one the best-kept
secrets on Cape Cod. Approximately eighteen exist within the Truro
and Wellfleet town lines, protected by the Cape Cod National
Seashore.
As one drives along the woodsy path lined with oaks and pines,
your first glance of a kettle pond enlightens the spirit and soul.
Overlooking Ryder Pond, one of the most secluded kettle ponds
covering more than twenty acres, is
25 Elsies Road, a family compound situated on nearly three
acres and rich with enchantment and discovery. Adorned with old
vintage stacked stone walls, the property is ringed by laurels and
Japanese maples. Today, after 42 years of ownership, the Drasher
family is ready for a new generation to record a new chapter at
this charming pond-front property.
Imagine walking barefoot along the water’s edge through
the morning dew at sunrise. Lost within your favorite read, you sit
upon the rock wall overlooking the flowering pink dogwood. A
private floating dock calls for cannonballs and somersaults and
invites you to kayak or canoe from one end of the pond to the
other. An inspiring artist’s haven, the artist studio is
perfect for creating and blending old with new. On the cottage
deck, host a Sunday morning brunch as you watch children play and
run across the grassy field.
At 25 Elsies Road, a serene property like no other awaits.
