Featured Property: Own a little slice of heaven

The beaches of Martha's Vineyard are some of the most beautiful in the world and are one of the reasons the Vineyard is a destination for many throughout the summer months for swimming, surfing, fishing, clam bakes and good old fashioned R&R.   

If you aren't fortunate enough to own a beach front home, or perhaps you want to experience a different part of the island, you can gain access to one of several private beaches along the coveted Vineyard shoreline by obtaining a "beach key".  These keys are hard to come by (there are currently only 8 beach lots on the market for sale - 8/24/17) and buyers can expect to pay high prices to own the deed to a little slice of heaven.  The luxury of owning a private beachfront (unbuildable) lot is worth anything from $100,000 to $300,000.  An owner holds the deed to a sliver of land that allows them to park and gain access to that particular beach.  

Marthas Vineyard Beach  

Moshup Beach which sits on the strip of land down from Gay Head and Philbin beaches, is a private association that is one of the more affordable lots on the market today.  $265,000 buys you a 1/9th interest in this pretty beach that is accessed over a gentle dune. The parking is located to the left of the famous "Painted House" which we wrote about here.

Oxcart Road in Aquinnah is an attractive destinatation for Fishermen and kayakers, and the sandy beach has gentle waves for safe swimming that over looks Menemsha and the North Shore.  A buyer can purchase a 1/20 ownership to the North Shore Fishing Association,  for around $135,000.

Stonewall beach Marthas Vineyard

A key to Stonewall Beach fetches in the region of $160,000 in todays market, and allows access to the beach and pond in the Stonewall Assocation.

You can expect to pay arond $300,000 for whats considered the supreme private beach access up island at either Hancock, Black Point or Quansoo beaches. These are three abutting beaches that line up along the south shore and collectively offer hundreds of feet of pristine sand and Atlanitc shoreline, with waves and brackish ponds in which to play and explore.  Update: The most recent Quansoo Beach lot to sell by Tea Lane was Dec 1st 2017 for $290,000.

Tea Lane Associates has a key for Black Point available to purchase at a listing price of $315,000.
