THE WOODS HOLE LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Cape Cod/Long Island setting.

Woods Hole CDP has 2.14 square miles of land in Barnstable County. Its Census reference point is in Cape Cod/Long Island, within Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens.

Sandy coastal landscapes combine beaches, dunes, bays and marshes with oak-pine woodland. These pine-barrens settings form a transition between warmer southern coasts and rockier shores farther north.

Woods Hole and Barnstable County

Woods Hole is associated with Barnstable County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Barnstable County

Woods Hole by land and water

The Census records 1.8 square miles of water within Woods Hole, or 45.7% of its total area. It is 24.1 percentage points lower than the 69.8% recorded for Barnstable County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Woods Hole CDP has 1 times the land area of nearby Falmouth CDP (2.09 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Woods Hole land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Woods Hole’s place name from its government

Woods Hole is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Woods Hole address as city approval. Barnstable County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Cape Cod/Long Island setting

Cape Cod/Long Island belongs to Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens. Does the parcel include sandy upland, a dune or a low coastal area, and which current site and access records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Falmouth

Falmouth is 3.4 miles northeast of the Woods Hole reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Woods Hole
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Woods Hole?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Barnstable County. Woods Hole’s 2.14 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Woods Hole property in Cape Cod/Long Island?+

No. Cape Cod/Long Island is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Woods Hole boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Falmouth as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 3.4 miles northeast of Woods Hole’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Woods Hole?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
