Brewster land is a great investment. One quick look at a map or Google Earth demonstrates this fact when you see all of the ponds dotting the town and the green open spaces. The 1900 acre Nickerson State Park is the largest open space, and there is also the Punkhorn Parklands, Quivett Marsh, the Sheep Pond Woodlands, the acres of trails around the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, and other areas acquired by the Brewster Conservation Trust. Fully one third of the town is protected for conservation, open space, recreation or watershed. In addition, Brewster actively works to protect its rural character through its by-laws and sign codes. By owning your own piece of Brewster land, you are assured of a quiet rural environment.
