The Preserve at Hunters Hill

The Preserve at Hunters Hill is a gated 55+ lifestyle community tucked into 255 acres of preserved woodlands and meadows in Dighton, Massachusetts, a quaint New England town in the state's South Coast region. Developed by Long Built Homes, the community is planned for just 140 single-family homes, giving it an intimate scale that's unusual for master-planned active adult living in the Northeast. Phase I sold out, and Phase II is actively building out with new construction available. The homes are designed specifically for 55+ buyers who want low-maintenance, single-level living without sacrificing space or style. Long Built offers a lineup of floor plans — the Andover, Blackstone, Concord, Dover, Essex, and others — ranging roughly from 1,760 to 2,727 square feet. Most feature two bedrooms, two to two-and-a-half baths, two-car garages, open great room/kitchen/cafe layouts, gas fireplaces, first-floor primary suites, and the option to finish a second story, add a four-seasons room, pocket office, loft, or parcel delivery vestibule. Interior finishes skew contemporary New England: hardwood floors, quartz counters, transom windows, French doors, and custom millwork come standard or as common upgrades. Exterior maintenance and lawn care are handled through the HOA, so residents can lock the door and travel without worry. The social hub is a brand-new 3,550-square-foot clubhouse that opened as part of the community's resort-style build-out. It houses a fitness center, a heated outdoor swimming pool, an outdoor patio with grilling area, two pickleball courts, bocce, and shuffleboard. Additional clubhouse spaces include a lounge, reading room/library, sauna, and multi-purpose/meeting rooms for hobby groups and gatherings. Miles of walking trails wind through the preserved woodlands on-site, and the property abuts a wildlife conservation area, so deer, songbirds, and quiet forest walks are part of daily life. Location is one of The Preserve's strongest selling points. The community sits just minutes from Interstate 195 with easy connections to I-95 and the Mass Pike, putting Providence about 30 minutes away and Boston roughly an hour north. Shopping, drugstores, and movie theaters in Taunton and Swansea are about 10 minutes out. The historic Taunton River, home to the Taunton Yacht Club with deep-water ocean access through Mount Hope Bay, is nearby for boaters and anglers. Cape Cod beaches, Horseneck Beach in Westport, Newport's mansions and sailing scene, and a long list of public and private golf courses are all within a short drive. For healthcare, residents have access to some of the country's top-ranked hospitals — Mass General, Brigham and Women's, Beth Israel, and Lahey — within the Boston metro. TF Green Airport in Providence and Logan International in Boston handle domestic and international travel. It's a setting that trades big-city bustle for woodland quiet while keeping culture, coastline, and world-class medicine all within easy reach.
