Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The Hawthorne is a waterfront motel featuring 32 total units, offered for sale for the first time in more than six decades after family ownership and operation since 1959. Set on 3.2 acres, the property includes sweeping panoramic water views of Pleasant Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, an expansive lawn, and a pristine private beach with nearly 150 linear feet of ocean frontage.

The property is located on Shore Road and is described as a short walk from local boutique shops, fine dining, and nearby attractions including Chatham Seaside Links golf course, the Fish Pier, and the Chatham Lighthouse. The combination of prominent coastal frontage and walkable nearby destinations supports the property’s strong hospitality positioning.

For the next owner, The Hawthorne offers meaningful flexibility: continue operating an established hospitality business, expand on the existing improvements, pursue a full commercial redevelopment, or reimagine the site for residential use. This is a distinctive acquisition for buyers seeking an oceanfront asset with both operating potential and redevelopment optionality, with buyer due diligence required.
