Featured Property for Sale: Artist Vaclav Vytlacil's Squibnocket Home

Tea Lane Associates are excited to be offering this opportunity to purchase one of the most iconic properties in Chilmark, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at Squibnocket beach.

Originally known as the Hilly Mayhew House, this property was for over 80 years the haven for the international modernist painter Vaclav Vytlacil and his family, who were originally from Czechoslovakia. He created hundreds of seascapes and harbor scenes of the Vineyard, many of which can still be found in private collections on the island and around the world. There is also a permenant collection of his work at the Old Sculpin Gallery in Edgartown.

The home is perched above and just steps from beloved Squibnocket Beach and Pond. The beach and access bridge to Squibnocket Ridge was completely re designed in the winter of 2018, to include a new parking area and beach front.

This idyllic beach house has amazing views of the Atlantic and shoreline out to Squibnocket Point. It has been fully renovated with many tasteful, modern enhancements and sustainably-sourced materials, and yet retains some of the most charming elements of its past. The airy floor plan offers a family-friendly open kitchen, living and dining area, a master bedroom, and a guest wing with three more bedrooms. The lower level is finished, adding about 1350 square feet of space including a spacious 30' x 20' recreation room and laundry room.

The property is surrounded by stone walls, a bluestone patio facing the Atlantic, and a path to the Pond (with rights to build an elevated walkway and kayak rack). Walk to the beach, kayak in the pond, or just sit out on your patio watching the day unfold, osprey fish and surfers ride the waves.

I true Martha's Vineyard experience not to be missed.
