Listing broker remarks

Set in a private community, Sweetened Water Farm offers the pastoral charm of Martha's Vineyard's rural up-island, just minutes from the energy of downtown Edgartown. Residents share access to the association's horse barn and common pastures, ideal for keeping horses or other livestock, adding to the farm's authentic agrarian character. This custom-built home is a true Vineyard gem, crafted over time by local artisans and set against sweeping pastoral views. The main house currently offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with the potential to expand to 6 bedrooms, as approved by the Edgartown Board of Health and Building Department. Inside, the home tells its own story: African mahogany millwork in the library, massive fieldstone fireplaces, and a Jotul wood stove . Built to the same exacting standard, the barn and garage include a custom wood-fired sauna and a two-room office on the second floor.— Donnelly + Co.
