Single Family Residence

Description

Quintessential waterfront compound in Seven Gates Farm on Martha’s Vineyard. With stunning views and idyllic beachfront, this one of a kind property features a main residence and a three-car carriage house with luxurious guest quarters. Both are in immaculate condition, having been designed and built by South Mountain Company, and are ideally set above sloping lawns that lead to Vineyard Sound. The interior living spaces offer rich details, displaying highest level craftsmanship, and elegant design - perfect for seaside relaxation. Views of the Sound and Elizabeth Islands are readily available from nearly every room in both buildings. Just off the main house is an inviting heated, gunite pool - complete with bluestone patio, extensive stone walls and hardscape, and separate hot-tub area. The property is set within one of the most incomparable private areas of the Island. Seven Gates Farm has a rich history, and comprises approximately 1600 acres. In addition to generous private lot sizes, nearly 1000 common acres are held in permanent conservation with The Trustees of Reservations. Many gorgeous open fields, woodlands, ponds and private trails abound. Properties in the farm enjoy access to miles of private beach, two piers and two tennis courts. This is a coveted opportunity to reside within a timeless community, originally a collection of large farms, that has been deeply focused on preservation and stewardship since the late 1800’s when the Head of Geology for Harvard University first developed his vision for Seven Gates Farm as a ‘civil wilderness’ that should be enjoyed, cherished and protected. Note: 2% fee from buyer to Seven Gates Farm at closing is in addition to purchase price and Land Bank fee.
