Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty team members

Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty serves the villages of the historic South Coast and specializes in the marketing of distinctive properties:

• Waterfront land and homes
• Vintage village historical classics
• Elegant homes of character, and
• Large land parcels suitable for subdivisions or farms

The Olde Dartmouth Sotheby's International Realty waterfront areas stretch from Wareham to Westport and include the beach communities of: Onset, Briarwood, Marion Harbor, Silver Shell Beach, Piney Point, Harbor Beach, Crescent Beach, Brandt Beach, Shaw's Cove, Little Bay, West Island, Wilbur's Point, Sconticut Neck, Stoneledge Beach, Anthony Beach, Ricketson's Point, Bay View, Round Hill, Slater's Point, Horseneck Beach, Acoaxet, Old Harbor, Padanarum, Nonquit, Westport River, Assonet Bay and Long Pong!.

Vintage historical homes are located in the village centers of Marion, Mattapoisett, Fairhaven, Poverty Point, Padanaram, Hixville, Adamsville, Westport Point and New Bedford's west-end and downtown center. Old country roads in Acushnet and Rochester also have their share of antique farm homes. Vintage homes date back to the Federal period, but Greek Revival classics dominate the area. Greek Revival architecture was the choice of many whaling captains during the area's hay-day. New Bedford has the area's largest inventory of Queen Anne and Victorian homes as well as some Italianate and Second Empire houses. Gothic Revival homes can be found from Marion to Westport. Fairhaven has the oldest inventory of Federal homes, predating the revolution.

Few undeveloped land parcels remain. North Dartmouth, South Dartmouth and Westport have the most farmland and forests. Rochester and Acushnet, traditionally agricultural, are slowing development through stricter subdivision requirements. Westport has tax incentives and restrictive bylaws for agricultural land, perpetuating its use as farmland far into the future. Most towns have created land trusts to purchase fragile undeveloped areas. Additional funds have been made available by the Commonwealth and from nonprofit organizations. If you have interest in buying a large land parcel, we know where they are. If you own such a parcel, we have buyers waiting for your land. We can guide you through the subdivision maze for land development and are experts on the governmental process.
