Contemporary properties in a peaceful Westport community
Situated east of the Rhode Island border, Sawdy Pond/Woods Corner is a quiet residential neighborhood with spacious lots and contemporary waterfront properties. While many Massachusetts communities excel on historic appeal, Sawdy Pond/Woods Corner offers newly developed homes in an expansive rural landscape along the western edge of Westport. “There are a lot of farms; it’s a very beautiful and quiet area,” says Stefanie Carr, a Realtor with Compass who has served the area for three years. Near major historic areas, residents enjoy outdoor attractions and modern homes near suburban amenities.
Colonial Revivals and ranches near ponds
In Sawdy Pond/Woods Corner, homebuyers can find properties on forested roads, newly developed communities on curving residential streets with cul-de-sacs and waterfront properties along Sawdy and Devol ponds. There are some ranches and raised ranches built in the 1970s on grass lots, which cost between $430,000 and $600,000. Large single-family homes built within the last five years usually feature Colonial Revival designs with neutral, cool-toned facades and shuttered windows. Prices for these properties start at $700,000 and rise to $850,000. Part of the appeal of this neighborhood is access to land, so homebuyers can expect to see properties on at least half-acre lots.
