Aquinnah Sales Market: Active Neighborhood at Dogfish Bar

The Moore property at 3 Oxcart Road in Aquinnah was just listed this week for $2,350,000. It’s a 1.5 acre property beachfront on the Vineyard Sound  with a year-round 3-bedroom home. This area of Gay Head has been quite active in the recent past. There have been 4 sales in this neighborhood in the past year and a half ranging from $700,000 for a simple summer camp to $2,250,000 for a beautiful waterfront two-bedroom home. There are currently  3 properties on the market on Oxcart Road. It’s a desirable area due to the classic island landscape of beach grass dunes and the excellent swimming and fishing on this stretch of coastline. All owners and renters in Aquinnah have access to Philbin Beach as well on the Atlantic side of town and Aquinnah offers two town beaches on Menemsha Pond for kayaking, paddle boarding and mooring boats. Buyers are discovering all the beach and water access in Aquinnah, and combining that with a waterfront property makes for a heavenly situation.
