This magnificent Spring Point waterfront property, perched 50 ft above sea level and 425 ft back from the North Shore bluff, boasts beautiful views of the Vineyard Sound, Aquinnah coastline and the Elizabeth Islands -- and year dramatic year round sunsets. The property at the end of a well maintained wide dirt road 1 mile from North Rd is SECLUDED and TRANQUIL. It's a SHORT WALK TO THE BEACH, either Great Rock Bight or Spring Point's 1 mile private beach. With Spring Point's 90 acres of common land, along with this exclusive community's private & quiet paths along the bluff and in the woods, it's like LIVING IN A NATURE PRESERVE. The 211 acre Menemsha Hills Reservation is nearby. The house itself, designed by the Nantucket architect Ray Pohl and Boston landscape architect, Skip Burck, majors in LIVABILITY. Along with the three shaded ocean-facing exterior rooms, the house has three set-apart bedroom wings. Five of the house's 8 rooms qualify as "wings of light," meaning windows on three sides. The house was "built to last" by the highly regarded builder, Heikki Soikkeli. The Lew French floor-to-ceiling FIELD-STONE FIREPLACE and CHIMNEY are WORKS OF ART.The house is MOVE-IN-Condition. What sets this house apart is its combination of many highly desirable features - architectural, practical and beautiful - which is what makes it so difficult for the owners, who built the house, to part with it.
