Vineyard Haven Waterfront Treasure - "The Swindle"

There is a little known and magical waterfront neighborhood on the north shore of Martha's Vineyard called Chappaquonsett. Today there are only 10 homes in this very special area surrounded by protected woodland and beautiful water. It lies directly across Vineyard Sound from Woods Hole and the Elizabeth Islands. Chappaquonsett is an Indian name meaning "where the nets dry".  Not surprising since its most eastern point is now the entrance to Lake Tashmoo which was once the site of a famous and productive herring run before fresh water Tashmoo was connected to Vineyard Sound. A storied piece of this paradise is now available..."The Swindle".

Surrounded by natural beauty, 662 Chappaquonsett Road, Vineyard Haven, "The Swindle" is like no other. You arrive at the front this home just past the quaint cutting garden to the calming and intimate views of Beach Plum pond.  The property has a private dock to keep a small boat and a kayak or two.  as you walk in the front door of The Swindle into the living room, expansive views over the Vineyard Sound, Cape Cod and the Elizabeth Islands with unobstructed sunset skies, take your breath away. Peace and privacy is the vibe for this property located among acres of protected forest and wetlands yet with the convenience of the grocery store and ferry 10 minutes away. With approximately 300 feet of private north shore beachfront, you can enjoy swimming, fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding from either side of the property. This home is in pristine condition and was renovated to capture all the amenities for current needs however it continues to embody the spirit of the island and the aesthetic of easy beach living.
