Listing broker remarks

Sweetened Water Farm ~ Just off the main road, past an idyllic horse barn and conserved association land, you’ll find this eight-bedroom residence that sits prominently on 2.4 acres. The sprawling main house, an expanded classic Cape featuring separate living areas, both inside and out, and six bedrooms, including two first-floor en-suites, overlooks the rolling pastures with grazing horses. Private guest quarters above the detached oversized garage offer additional comfortable accommodations. Sweetened Water Farm combines the tranquility of an up-island location with the convenience of being just moments from the boutiques, restaurants, and harbor of downtown Edgartown. A home for all generations in a setting like no other.— Sandpiper Realty, Inc.
