Featured Property: Rare Opportunity on Tisbury Great Pond

New to market is this rare offering at 137 Quansoo Road, Chilmark,  with over three acres of pond front land, waterviews and access to the Atlantic ocean via the Tisbury Great Pond or from Quansoo.

A light and airy beach house with all your summer vacation needs - simple layout with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, outdoor shower to rinse off after a beach day, screened porch for those long hot summer evenings.  The home has the acreage to support a larger home or an expanding family in the future if desired.

The ponds along the south shore of the Vineyard have seen a lot of real estate activity lately, maybe because buyers appreciate the location and the "best of both worlds" appeal that pondfront living affords.  The Tisbury Great Pond is especially interesting with its five "finger" coves that straddles the south shore of the island between the easterly side of Chilmarks boarder with West Tisbury and the south of the Edgartown West Tisbury Road at Longpoint Wildlife Refuge

The pond is spring fed from the Mill Brook in the heart of West Tisbury center and feeds into the brackish pond and out to the ocean beyond.   Most roads that head south from the West Tisbury - Edgartown road eventually lead to one of the coves off the pond - some stretch for 2 or more miles before you hit water, some are as close as a quarter of a mile to the very tip of the coves.  

Another sales listing we have sits at the top of Thumb Cove - 125 Middle Point Road, West Tisbury is an immaculately maintained South Mountain Company home on 6 acres that abut the Long Point Wildlife refuge.   We wrote about previously it here.

The pond is amazing to explore by boat, kayak or paddleboard and is abundant with nature and wildlife. For birders there are hundreds of species to spot including Blue Herons, Osprey and Red Tail Hawks. For recreational sports sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding or pottering about in a small boat the pond is ideal.  Fisherman come for clams, oysters and more - it is a paradise for all nature lovers.  And as if all that isnt enough, the Atlantic ocean is just beyond the strip of barrier beach and provides a contrast to the tranquility of the pond. Enjoy a day on one one of the islands most pristine sandy private beaches, and swim, body surf and play in the ocean waves, sometimes with the occaisional seal if you're lucky!
