This wonderful property, unique in its combination of a woodland setting with water views is located on the eastern end of the island, inland from Polpis harbor. A long private driveway through woods leads to an architect-designed three, two bath home. Surrounded by 10 acres of conservation land and set on a slight rise in what was once a beautiful farmland field, it affords views of marshes, Polpis harbor and the town of Nantucket in the distance. The contemporary interior features a living room with cathedral ceilings and a massive brick fireplace with a driftwood mantle. Pictures windows look out onto your own "Hidden Forrest". Westerly facing sliding glass doors open onto a deck with surround seating and views of the sunset. Twelve over twelve pane windows preserve the look of the traditional Nantucket salt box. The horizontal chair rail that wraps around the walls in the living room and dining room and the wood beams in the ceiling add to the warmth and rustic character of the living area. Proximity and deeded access to the harbor make this location perfect for boating enthusiasts. There are also great walking trails and a bike path nearby.

Location
What we like about Wauwinet
The only business in the area, the Wauwinet Inn offers fine dining, spa services, exquisite rooms, and boat service to town for their guests and diners. Wauwinet is also where you access Great Point, the peninsula that forms Nantucket’s northernmost tip, and home to Great Point Light. Great Point remains under the protection of the Nantucket Conservation Foundation and the state’s Trustees of Reservations. An excursion along this ever-changing and unspoiled landscape, by boat or via four-wheel-drive vehicle, is a must-see while visiting Nantucket.
