A development consisting of 28 new homes, of which 7 will be affordable. The Village at Brick Kiln Road abuts Falmouth High School and the town’s athletic fields. It is approximately 1.5 miles from historic Falmouth downtown where one can find shopping, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops adorning the street. There are numerous beaches and marinas in the area.

Falmouth is also known for its shining sea bike path. “The Shining Sea Bikeway (SSB) was named for a line in the song America The Beautiful, written by Falmouth native Katharine Lee Bates. It follows the original route of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad that used to run from Buzzards Bay, through North and West Falmouth, around Woods Hole, and into Falmouth Station. In the early 1970’s the Town of Falmouth purchased the right of way, tore up the tracks, and officially opened the 3.3-mile Shining Sea Bikeway in 1975. In 2009, a new 7.4-mile section was added, extending the trail to North Falmouth. This addition was built with a $3.2 million federal grant. Now the SSB runs 10.7 miles from County Road in North Falmouth all the way to the Steamship Authority parking lot in Woods Hole.” See reference here.

Town conservation land is also abutting this development, and it provides scenic jogging and hiking paths. Below is a description from the town website about long-pond watershed conservation land.

“By gift and purchase that started in 1900, the town has amassed 105 acres of little-known conservation land north of Brick Kiln Road, stretching between Fire Tower Road and the land surrounding Falmouth High School.

The properties include large parcels given to the town in 1974 and 1976, nearly 20 acres acquired in 1989 by a developer who needed to set aside open space as a condition of his subdivision north of this land, and two narrow parcels totaling 16.6 acres purchased with Land Bank funds in 2000.

Two parcels owned by The 300 Committee are embedded in this town conservation land. Seth Harvey donated 10.2 acres in 1989, when the land trust was still young. In 2007, he sold his abutting 7.5 acres at a bargain sale, below the appraised value.

Keeping these lands undeveloped is key to helping protect the Long Pond watershed.

A lovely east-west trail winds through this property, between a cart path that runs behind Falmouth High School and Fire Tower Road, which is a private road. Near the northern end of Fire Tower Road, three trails lead into Collins Woodlot to the west.“
