Set privately in one of Vineyard Haven's most tranquil enclaves, 30 Water Gate Road is a rare legacy offering defined by pastoral beauty and access to Lake Tashmoo. The nearly 5,000-square-foot residence offers five bedrooms and generous living spaces designed for gathering and quiet retreat, with an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged in separate wings, with a private primary suite overlooking neighboring lawns, gardens, and conservation land. The inviting living room is anchored by a massive wood-burning fireplace and beautiful hardwood floors, while the chef's kitchen connects seamlessly to indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. An attached two-car garage adds convenience. Outside, wide lawns, mature plantings, a classic stone wall, and a fenced vegetable garden create a timeless Vineyard setting. A post-and-beam barn offers flexible space for storage, recreation, or a workshop. Ownership includes neighborhood tennis courts and a dock on Lake Tashmoo for boating, paddling, and swimming. A rare opportunity to enjoy an up-island setting with the convenience of nearby Vineyard Haven shops, restaurants, and the ferry.
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.
