143 Plantingfield Lane, Edgartown MA 02539

Available for the first time in 80 years, this matchless Edgartown waterfront property with its own private beach enjoys stunning beauty and uncommon privacy within walking distance of Edgartown. Across broad lawns and grassy dunes, the site commands panoramic views of Nantucket Sound, Chappaquiddick, Edgartown Outer Harbor, and Eel Pond, as well as of protected wetlands and pristine conservation land. Located on Martha's Vineyard's leeward shore, the 3.2 acre property includes 700 feet of private sandy beach on Nantucket Sound and along the western edge 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. This enchanting site's rare marriage of "up-Island" atmosphere with "down-Island" convenience offers both a spectacular gift for current and future generations and a gratifying investment in an irreplaceable asset class. The building envelope available for construction covers over 10,000 square feet with approximately 900 square feet grandfathered in the shore zone. Permits for a six bedroom septic are in hand and new utilities are in place.
