A UNIQUE CHAPPY OASIS on nearly 4 acres! - Nestled near the center of the serene and natural beauty of Chappaquiddick, you'll discover a one-of-a-kinda custom-built post and beam style home that seamlessly blends rustic charm with whimsical touches throughout. As you approach this picturesque property, you are greeted by a sprawling, sun-dappled yard adorned with a small apple orchard and a tapestry of mature trees. This idyllic outdoor space serves as a sanctuary for both the soul and the senses. The home itself is a testament to craftsmanship and individuality, handcrafted by the seller with a passion for building and an eye for detail. Its post and beam style build marries comfort and functionality. Vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and large windows provide natural light, creating an ambiance of inviting warmth. Step through the foyer, and you will find yourself in a spacious living area with a stone fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings. The small but mighty kitchen boasts solid appliances and polished concrete countertops, making it a culinary haven for the family chef. The open dining and living area, ideal for hosting gatherings, spills out to a screened porch and large deck overlooking the lush backyard and its enchanting focal point – a small, tranquil koi pond. Venturing outside, the expansive yard provides endless possibilities for outdoor activities, from picnics beneath the shade of the trees to games of frisbee or simply lounging in the sun. Two charming sheds on the property offer ample storage for all your gardening tools, outdoor equipment, or creative projects. Whether you're savoring the tranquility of your own private oasis, strolling through the fragrant blossoms in your garden, or taking in the captivating island scenery, this custom-built post and beam style home on Chappaquiddick is more than a dwelling; it's an embodiment of a peaceful, harmonious lifestyle. Come experience the natural beauty of Chappy.

CHAPPAQUIDDICK

Welcome to Chappy

The secluded and magical antithesis of the real world.
 
Crossing the 527-foot channel between Edgartown and Chappy is like stepping into an alternate world. The easternmost peninsula of the Vineyard, and the occasional island, is a true departure from the daily rush of life on the mainland.
 
The magic of Chappy is in the separation. One must truly want to live away from it all,  possess a hearty nature and a sense of adventure. As remote as this little isle is, the community is close-knit, giving and welcoming. An average of only 200 people live here year-round. It is always a joy to welcome back those who winter elsewhere.
 

What to Love

 

  • Naturally stunning and geologically diverse  landscape
  • Expansive, quiet beaches
  • Tranquil and peaceful lifestyle
  • Closely connected but private community

 

People and Lifestyle

 

Once an outlying farming community, Chappy enjoys the thoughtful preservation of open space created by 3-acre minimum zoning as well as a multitude of properties placed in conservation. The pace is slower here but with easy access to Edgartown proper just across the harbor on the Chappy Ferry. Walking, biking, over sand, 4-wheel driving, fishing, and just plain relaxing are all easily accomplished.
 

Dining, Entertainment and Shopping

 

Simply put—there is no dining unless it is at a friend’s house, a cookout on the beach, a potluck supper at the Chappaquiddick Community Center or a farm dinner at Slipaway Farm. Entertainment and shopping follow the options above as well. Many local artists exhibit in Edgartown or private events throughout the year, and rustic roadside stands serve as our form of shopping. The Community Center hosts popular ice cream socials and lobster roll take-out throughout the summer.
 

Things to Do

 

Sit back, relax and enjoy. If more excitement is in order, stroll through MyToi, a Japanese-inspired garden surrounding a small freshwater pond. Hop in your 4-wheel drive and head out to Wasque or East Beach for a day of sun or some of the best saltwater surf casting on the East Coast. Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge includes 516 acres of the most incredible sandy shore, expansive salt marshes, beautiful saltwater bay, and the Chappaquiddick lighthouse. Clamming, scalloping, and foraging for wild grapes or beach plums are favorite pastimes of many locals.
 

Schools

 

Chappaquiddick children attend Edgartown School, a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon school of excellence that teaches Kindergarten through 8th grade. They also have the option of the Martha's Vineyard Public Charter School in West Tisbury.
