Waterfront Estate Site
Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard Island Massachusetts, USA |
|
One high-end architect calls it "the best building opportunity on the Vineyard today." Available now for the first time in 80 years, this matchless waterfront estate site offers stunning beauty and uncommon privacy in walking distance of Edgartown.
Across broad lawns and grassy dunes, the site commands panoramic
views of Nantucket Sound, Chappaquiddick, Edgartown Outer Harbor, Eel Pond, and of protected wetlands and pristine conservation land.
The 3.2 acre property includes 700 feet of private sandy beach on Nantucket Sound and along the western shore of Eel Pond. A marsh and an additional beach embrace a cove with a boat mooring and landing pier. Eel Pond anchorage and Edgartown Harbor are a short boat ride away.
Water, shore and upland birds make this shoreline a sanctuary, as
osprey, blue heron, ducks and geese arrive in season. The private
location affords good fishing and shellfishing for birds and
landowner alike.
Enjoying a rare marriage of 'up-Island' atmosphere with 'down-Island' convenience, this enchanting beachfront site offers a haven for current and future generations and affords a singular investment opportunity.

The envelope available for home construction covers approximately 10,500 square feet,

grandfathered. Additional footage may be added. The first floor has superb water views.
The second floor will have additional views across Nantucket Sound.
The site is permitted for a six bedroom septic system and leach field. Underground utilities
are newly built, including a town water connection. Waterfront management permits are up-to-date.
Modest annual costs for dredging of the cove inlet are contractually shared with a neighbor.
Two different luxury builders have estimated construction and landscaping costs for a top quality
six-bedroom house (or a five-bedroom house with a one-bedroom guesthouse/studio), including a
pool and pool house, at about $2,500,000.

About Edgartown
|
|
Originally known as "Great Harbour," Edgartown was the first English village on Martha's Vineyard.
Seeking a new life in the island wilderness, settlers from towns near Boston arrived here in 1642.
By the 1830s Edgartown had become the Island's wealthiest town, prospering from the manning and
provisioning of ships for the booming whaling trade. The success of whaling
captains built many stately homes which, meticulously maintained to this day, preserve
the classic ambiance of a New England seaport. Nowadays, "captains of commerce" and others make
"Great Harbour" a world-class summer retreat.
