319 S Orleans Rd

Nauset Village is a small cottage colony in Orleans composed of single-story, wood-framed seasonal and year‑round condominiums dating to 1935, arranged in a clustered, low‑rise configuration around landscaped paths and shared outdoor space. Units are typically compact three‑bedroom or two‑bedroom cottages with vaulted or cathedral ceilings, exposed beams in some homes, eat‑in kitchens, and modest full or three‑quarter baths; many sell furnished and retain traditional Cape Cod cottage detailing like wide‑plank flooring and whitewashed finishes. Outdoor living is emphasized: private yards, composite and wood decks, patios with firepits, outdoor showers, storage sheds, and professional landscaping create a backyard-focused lifestyle; several homes include loft storage accessed by ladders. The association maintains common grounds, master insurance, cable, septic service and seasonal utilities per HOA fee; on‑site parking is individual and informal. The setting is highly walkable to ponds, bays and two popular beaches, with the Orleans town center, bike trails and Chatham reachable by short drives. Rental rules vary by unit but many cottages permit weekly short‑term rentals, and mechanical systems commonly include gas heat and ductless mini‑split units for cooling and supplemental heat.
