This North Shore beachfront estate represents one of the most breathtaking properties in all of New England. The newly built home was created on a 3.3-acre parcel of land, surrounded by specimen trees, rolling grassy meadows and is highly situated on a stable bank overlooking nearly 250 ft of sandy beach. The home, which celebrates and was imagined utilizing the 14 patterns of biophilic design, fosters positive and sustained interaction and relationships among people and the natural environment. The entrance to the home leads across enormous granite steppingstones bridging over expansive reflection ponds with two waterfalls cascading to a lower-level pond. The entry way welcomes one to open and dramatic living spaces with 10 ft ceilings and large expanses of glass facing Vineyard Sound and the surrounding landscape. In the main residence, each of the five-bedroom suites have unique features and connect with the beauty of the outdoors. The lower level of the residence offers amazing, eye-catching living spaces which include state of the art wine cellar, entertainment room, media room, gym and sauna. There is a spectacular glass circular staircase leading to a roof top pool which is surrounded by expansive decks and gardens and offers what is arguably the best place one could choose to watch the sunset each evening. The residence offers countless distinctive features and green technologies including self-sustaining solar energy. Minawetu is essentially a platform for a botanical garden, one with nature and a harmonic part of the island’s environment. Complimenting the property is a detached accessory building with two rooms and two full baths which is designed in harmony with the main house and constructed with the same level of detail. This outbuilding would also be a perfect place for a removed office or studio space. While it’s a short walk to the main residence, it enjoys privacy and it’s owns views over wild flower covered meadows. The landscaping is an incredible blend of open, natural settings complimented by the botanical gardens which grow on and around the house. There is a weathered stone staircase providing easy access to a white sandy beach. There are so many spectacular properties on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, each offering their own incredible features but there truly is no other property that captures the magic of Minawetu.
