Set in the heart of Katama, this exceptional 5.5-acre building lot offers a rare opportunity to create a private island retreat surrounded by nature and conservation land. The property is bordered by 87 acres of Sheriffs Meadow conservation land and an additional 75 acres of town-owned land, providing an extraordinary sense of privacy and protected open space. Located in a well-established Katama neighborhood, the property captures the essence of the island lifestyle, with the sights, sounds, and salt air of the Atlantic Ocean close by. Just minutes from South Beach and Wilson’s Landing, easily enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, and long summer days by the water. A remarkable opportunity to build in one of the Vineyard’s most coveted settings, with expansive protected land and the beauty of Katama all around.
Martha's Vineyard, located between Vineyard Sound and Nantucket Sound, is a coastal and rural West Tisbury neighborhood with wooded back roads and broad farm fields. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Tisbury Village Center at State Road and Edgartown–West Tisbury Road, where the library lawn, small shops, and a low-key town-green rhythm set the pace. Architecture leans to shingled cottages, classic capes, and working farm outbuildings tucked behind stone walls. The Polly Hill Arboretum adds curated woodland paths and rare plantings to the island’s natural palette. The Grange Hall anchors a calendar of community gatherings, while Alley’s General Store keeps the everyday essentials distinctly local. Long Point Wildlife Refuge and nearby beaches frame a lifestyle shaped by trails, ponds, and salt air.
