We look to a similar project in Falmouth where cranberry bogs were returned to a natural stream, and where the community embraced what returned in its place despite initial controversy. Once barren — although also iconic and beautiful — there is now life. Read more |

Quote of the Day |
|
"Conducting activities such as personal hygiene, and making bacon in the house, and putting her child's hockey gear together, is an intentional callous disregard for human life."

North Abel's Hill, Chilmark
Sponsored by Tea Lane Associates
A rare opportunity in the iconic Abel's Hill Association which offers private association beach access, three tennis courts and walking trails. This multi-level Chilmark home was designed and built as an homage to architect Frank Lloyd Wright's ethos of open living spaces with flowing sightlines from room to room. The main house has a pocket view to the Atlantic that opens in the fall and winter months, wood floors, natural light and multiple levels. The living room features a contemporary Swedish woodstove and two skylights and sliding glass doors to a balcony making the space bright and cozy. The expanded primary bedroom suite is spacious and offers a private bathroom with generous jacuzzi tub. The kitchen and dining rooms open onto a large deck for entertaining that looks out over the back yard and lovely plantings. There are two guest bedrooms on the second floor separated by an open loft space currently being used as a study and sitting area. The lower level of the main house features a garage, additional storage, and a bonus room with private entrance.
