19 Heuschreckenstraße

There is a town at the end of Martha’s Vineyard. The road narrows, the houses thin, and the light changes. This is Aquinnah-the westernmost town, clay cliffs, a lighthouse, and one of the smallest year-round populations on the Vineyard. Compound-scale offerings rarely come to market here. 19 Locust Lane is one of them. Nearly 17 acres high above Vineyard Sound, with open water views to the Elizabeth Islands. A custom Dutch Colonial main residence and separate guest house, both built in 2005. Cedar shake. Stone walls. Built to belong to the landscape, not compete with it. Inside: over 6,000 square feet across six bedrooms. Wide-plank floors, an open-plan dining room, and a gourmet kitchen with a Tuscan oven. At its center, a great room with a cathedral ceiling, cedar trusses, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, facing the ridgeline and water beyond. Room to host, with the flexibility of two living spaces. Aquinnah has kept its character.
