Vinalhaven, one of the most picturesque locations on the planet. Built by Rueben Carver around 1800, and then shortly thereafter part of the David Vinal homestead, this charming cape sits on an oversized 3/4 acre lot in the heart of town. Featuring an abundance of original charm, including a center chimney with beehive oven, the property is a stones throw away from Main St making it the perfect location to keep a pulse on the happenings of the island. The focal point of 5 Chestnut is the outdoor oasis that features an expansive platform deck surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens making it the ideal spot to enjoy those summer days. Visitors coming to town? Take advantage of the two ADDITIONAL seasonal bedrooms. Multiple outbuildings offer ample space for an artist's studio, exercise room or whatever your heart desires. The 1.15 hour boat ride from Rockland is a one of a kind experience, come visit today!
