Waterfront House and Guesthouse, Chilmark SponsoredMartha's Vineyard has many fine waterfront properties, but only a handful of exceptional ones. The Lee Family Compound is an exceptional, 3-acre waterfront property with breathtaking, unobstructed pond views from an elevated secure location, 750+ ft. of pond frontage, 48-ft. dock with separate mooring for easy access to Menemsha Pond and Vineyard Sound, and privacy
without an abutter in view — all compliment the spacious, 5-bedroom, 5-bath, comfortable, well-built main house and the well-sited, 2-bedroom, 1-bath, contemporary guest house. The stunning views are everywhere, so 14 of the 16 rooms in both houses enjoy grand pond views. Because of the elevation, the sunsets, moonrises, and stargazing are some of the most remarkable the Island has to offer. The two-home compound can house 18 comfortably and is perfect for year-round family events. Come launch your canoe, kayak, or paddle board from spring to fall; swim, clam, or sail from private sandy beach off the point all summer long; sunbathe on your private dock or 3 decks or on the terraced lawn overhanging the cove; and enjoy seasonal holidays by a roaring fire with extended family and loved ones. This compound is proof that a picture is worth a 1,000 words (see Video Aerial Tour).

Quote of the Day
"Phone call was made[,] they will handle it."
— An employee with the Steamship Authority was quoted in a statement as part of an internal investigation reviewing why the Sankaty drifted away from its slipHot Topic CommentGeoffrey Day with the Sea Run Brook Trout Coalition comments on our story about a possible year-round bass population on the Vineyard:
"I believe there is actually an overwintering, possibly spawning population in Massachusetts that has been greatly decimated by dams, overfishing and possibly other negative influences. As a lifelong striper angler on the north side of Cape Cod, I always wondered where they
reproduced and why we never saw them in our adolescent ‘business’ of seining up minnows for sale to the local bait shop, diving, swimming, messing about etc."Hot Topic LetterMaura McGroarty writes to us
asking that credit be given where credit is due on providing housing for veterans: "I believe that both the affordable housing committee and the taxpayers of Oak Bluffs should be recognized for their continued support of affordable housing
endeavors that impact the financial status of the town."

Warm up this autumn with a creamy bowl of Pumpkin Hash or Irish Mashed Potatoes, recipes shared by Garden Notes columnist Abigail Higgins. If you make the potato dish, which is called colcannon, you can sing a traditional folk song about it while cooking in the kitchen. Here are the beginning lyrics:
Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream?
With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream.
Did you ever make a hole on top to hold the melting flake
Of the creamy, flavoured butter that your mother used to make?
