An exceptional 4-acre waterfront property in Aquinnah with private beach, high-end house, guesthouse, and beautiful gardens and grounds, 3 & 5 Skippers View sold on 2/3/15 for $6,500,000. This sets a new high for real estate transactions in this remote, western-most town on Martha's Vineyard. The previous highest priced property sale was 14 Moshup Trail which sold in July 2009 for $3,600,000 and was combined with a $400,000 beach lot for a total of $4,000,000. The house at 14 Moshup was rebuilt after this purchase. This level of investment is somewhat new for the town, but not isolated. Several other property owners in the area are invested in this range. Skippers View just happens to be the first to sell. As more buyers begin to understand the tranquility of Aquinnah, along with the beach and water access on all sides (it’s almost an island of its own), we may see this investment trend continue.
