Spring has arrived here on Martha's Vineyard which means properties that have been "taking a rest" over the winter are returning to market often with price reductions.   One example of this is this fabulous custom home and guest cottage on Rose Meadow Way, Aquinnah, which is back on market with a hefty quarter of a million dollar price reduction.  

Update: THIS PROPERTY WAS SOLD ON SEPT 16 2019 FOR $860,000

April 8th and temperatures on Martha's Vineyard reached the 60's this past weekend giving us a teaser and taste of summer days to come.  Supporters were peeling off the layers at the various Spring sports games across the island on Saturday,  restaurants are re-opening and revealing new decor and delicious menus, daffodils are starting to bloom and the garden centers are starting to get stocked up for Easter as year round residents start to come out of hibernation or return from winter travels to open up their homes

We're reminded of long summer beach days at Philbin beach and the Aquinnah Cliffs in this video produced by Ozoraco for us last year for the sale of the "Mondriain", or "Painted" House on Moshups Trail .  This iconic Martha's Vineyard property changed hands on January 31st 2019 for $2,150,000. Tea Lane Associates represented both buyer and seller in the transaction, and the buyers plan to keep the house as is for the time being. 

Steeped in over 300 years of agricultural history, Herring Creek Farm was once the largest dairy farm on Martha’s Vineyard. In 2001, with 15 home sites already in place, a groundbreaking purchase of the 215 acre farm, by three private buyers and the Martha's Vineyard Nature Conservancy, saved it from further development.

This lovely 4 bedroom home is tucked away at the end of a private lane in Chilmark.  This comfortable modernised contempory on 3 private acres could be perfect for quiet year - round living on Martha's Vineyard or as a second summer home or rental investment.    A great open plan layout, with screened porch,  fireplace, cathedral living room, sliders to a sunny deck, two master bedrooms and an outdoor shower.   The property is walking distance to nearby trails at Waskosims Rock and a short drive to Lucy Vincent beach.  Offered  exclusively by Tea Lane Associates for $2,195,000.

It’s not often that a property like this comes to market, but being offered for sale for the first time in nearly 50 years is this wonderful waterfront house and guest house on Stonewall Pond and overlooking the Atlantic ocean. 

On Dec 28 2018, Governor Baker signed the new short term vacation rental law effective Jan 1, 2019.  Since then Tea Lane Associates, like many real estate companies, insurance companies, home owners and brokers have been scrambling to understand and comply with, the new laws for the busy 2019 summer Martha's Vineyard rental season. At Tea Lane we have revised our lease, our software, and rental system. Our policies and procedures have been updated as an ongoing project, and our accounting is now set to accommodate the changes and make the transition as smooth as possible for you.  In addition our brokers and agents are fully up to speed on the requirements and we are happy to answer any questions you have.

Breathtaking water views can be enjoyed all around from this sophisticated and stylish luxury home on Martha's Vineyard.
