Mashpee County Information
Mashpee
is a Cape Cod Gem. Blessed by the nature with a gentle rolling terrain,
rich forests, warm ocean beaches, beautiful bays and inlets, protected
harbors and sparkling fresh water lakes and ponds, Mashpee offers a setting
for a comfortable lifestyle that is truly marvelous.
Braced
by the cool salt air from the south and refreshed by the scent of woods
and water to the north, Mashpee rends the sense awash with a sense of
peacefulness and well-being.
Mashpee's
small town atmosphere is no accident. It has been carefully planned
and nurtured. The town's rich Indian heritage is evident everywhere,
as is its centuries-old occupational source, the harvesting of cranberries
from the towns many bogs. Somehow these daily historic reminders add
to the sense of community here, where houses become homes, and neighbors
become friends.
At
once diverse and connect, Mashpee can perhaps be best described by it's
names and places~~ Aptucxet, Wampanoag, Popponesset, New Seabury,
South Cape Beach, Lowell Holly, Otis, Wakeby, Santuit, Mashpee Commons,
Willowbend, Meetinghouse, and more.
Mashpee
with but 438 residents in 1950, has grown to become one of Massachusetts
most desirable and sought after residential communities. And it's no
wonder. The geographical blessings of the town have been generously
improved by man, with good schools and government, and a variety of
home styles, settings and neighborhoods, home-sites, and neighborhoods
that is unmatched.
You only
need to spend a short time here ~ to realize that we actually border
on understatement when we refer to this town as ~ Marvelous Mashpee.
