The green corridor behind the south shore — ponds, farmland, and family houses on real lots.
Hummock Pond is the green inland corridor of the southwest — the farm-and-pond country along Hummock Pond Road and the lanes off it, running from the island’s midsection down toward Cisco and the beaches. The pond itself — long, freshwater, kayakable — threads the neighborhood; Bartlett’s Farm fields spread to the west; and the whole area keeps a settled, unshowy, working-landscape feel that much of the island has priced away.
In LINK’s data this is its own active area — currently one of the better-stocked corners of the island’s market — with family homes on generous lots, newer builds among older capes, and Somerset Road as a familiar spine. Buyers get south-shore life one field back from the sand, at numbers the beachfront rows stopped offering years ago.
What Hummock Pond really means
The neighborhood’s appeal is roominess with proximity: genuine yards, garden space, and elbow room, with Cisco Beach, the farm stand, and the brewery all a short ride down the road. The pond adds calm freshwater for paddling and fishing, and the farmland guarantees long views and open sky to the west — a working landscape, tractors and all.
The stock runs wider than most island areas: renovated capes, substantial newer family houses, and occasional land. That range — plus real inventory in most seasons — makes this one of the few south-side markets where a buyer has actual choices to compare rather than a single take-it-or-wait listing.
Why buyers choose Hummock Pond
What you're actually buying here
Three products share the corridor.
The family houses
The core: three-to-five-bedroom homes on generous lots along Somerset Road and the corridor lanes — the practical south-shore family product, active in both sale and rental markets.The pond-side properties
Homes near the freshwater with docks for kayaks and evening water views — a quieter premium than ocean frontage, and a far gentler insurance conversation.The newer builds and land
Recent construction and the occasional buildable lot keep this corridor forward-moving — with room, literally, that the built-out beach rows can’t offer.The market here
This is one of the south side’s liveliest markets: enough inventory to compare, enough demand to keep it honest. Families buying for summers and islanders buying for keeps compete across the same stock, and well-priced houses near the beach end of the corridor move fastest — the spring window especially.
Note the naming: the Hummock Pond and Cisco statistical areas split what buyers experience as one continuous place, so any serious comp work reads both feeds. The live listings above show this area’s current slate; the Cisco page carries its neighbor’s.

Hummock Pond — the questions I get
What have Hummock Pond homes sold for in 2026?
Through August 2026, LINK Nantucket recorded 3 home sales in Hummock Pond, from $2,500,000 to $5,400,000, with a median of $2,645,000. The island-wide home median over the same months was $3,650,000. Every one was publicly listed, and sellers closed at 95.9% of their asking price on average, after a median of 89 days on the market. Each sale is listed on this page.Where does Hummock Pond end and Cisco begin?
Locally, nobody draws the line — the corridor flows down Hummock Pond Road to the beach as one continuous place, with Bartlett’s Farm fields spreading to the west. In the MLS data they’re separate statistical areas, which mostly matters for comps: any serious valuation reads both feeds, because the split understates the real market.Can you swim in the pond?
It’s better suited to kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing — long, calm freshwater that threads the neighborhood — while the ocean sits minutes away for swimming. Freshwater at the door and surf down the road is the neighborhood’s combination; pond-side homes add docks for kayaks and evening water views.What does it cost here?
Below the beachfront rows, above the mid-island core — with the live listings above showing today’s actual spread. Pond proximity and lot size drive the differences, and this is one of the better-stocked corners of the island’s market, so buyers usually have actual choices to compare rather than a single take-it-or-wait listing.How do rentals perform?
Well — families want the beach-in-five-minutes life with a real yard, and this corridor delivers it at rates that make the math work. Three-to-five-bedroom houses on generous lots are the core rental product, and the Hummock Pond Road path to town and beach supports both family life and rental appeal.Is there still land to build on?
Occasionally, yes — recent construction and the odd buildable lot keep this corridor forward-moving, one of its quiet advantages over the built-out beach rows. Such lots are watched closely and worth moving on when they surface; note that parcels near the pond and its wetlands carry setback rules that shape what you can build.Thinking about the corridor?
