Waterfront, Privacy and Tranquility on Tisbury Great Pond

Sam's family has lived on this land since the 1800s. She went to school on the Island and college out in the world but has chosen to raise her family here. Her family deeply loves the Vineyard, their place on it and we are happy to share the lucky spot that we have with guests.

Sunsets bouncing off the pond surface and filtering light through the trees at the end of lazy summer days. Tree swallows circling in packs feeding in the hayfields in the evenings. The calls of herons in the morning and screech owls at night. Fireflies. Moonrise over the hayfields. Boat rides to beach picnics. Morning mist on the cove. Wildflowers. Space. Quiet. A truly special place.

Every detail in the house has been custom designed by the owners. Beautiful tilework in every bathroom. Spacious showers. Deep six foot tub. Chef's kitchen with views from every window and great counter space for making meals together. The house is full of windows and gets incredible light throughout the day, especially in the afternoon when the sun sets over the pond. If you leave the french doors open the lawn and pond feel like extensions of the house. Central location makes it easy to access any of the towns for shopping or a night out, or go absolutely nowhere and just lie in the hammock with a good book, have cocktails on the patio, explore the pond coves and look for blue herons, or paddle all the way out to the beach and enjoy one of the Vineyard's most remarkable beaches. Depending on the day you might even have the beach to yourself! Take a walk on one of the neighboring conservation properties, or walk up to town and have a decadent sandwich from 7a Foods after exploring the Farmer's Market. The house is so comfortable, on the water, tucked in its own magical corner off the beaten path yet not far from anything.
