Dreaming of island life? Cuttyhunk home on Elizabeth Islands has grand ocean views at $2M
Have you ever dreamed of living on an island? Maybe it's time to get away from the hurly burly of the regular world and relax in a simple, beautiful place, where beaches, fishing and fun with family and friends are sure to create memories that will last a lifetime.
That's the grand opportunity offered by this lovely home on Cuttyhunk Island in the town of Gosnold. It's the smallest town in the state (by population), and consists of the Elizabeth Islands that dangle off Woods Hole. Cuttyhunk is the outermost of these islands.
The home, priced at $2,000,000, features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and stunning, panoramic ocean views.
"The house totally faces the water," said listing agent Eleanor "Ellie" Wickes of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty. "Almost every room has an incredible view."
With 3,818 square feet of living space, the house offers plenty of room for friends and family to spread out. Generous living and dining spaces offer an easy entertaining flow. Chances are, everyone will end up on the spacious and spectacular deck, taking in the amazing ocean vista. And the three upstairs bedrooms also have private decks.
Many folks on Cuttyhunk travel around the island on golf cart-type vehicles, and one comes with this house. You can store it in the large garage, which has plenty of room for all your beach equipment. There's also a wine cellar, a fine thing to have on an island. Best of all, the year-round house is being sold fully furnished.
"This house is fabulous," said Wickes. "But it takes a special kind of buyer to buy it."
That's because getting to and from Cuttyhunk takes a bit of planning. According to the town of Gosnold, "Cuttyhunk is serviced by Cuttyhunk Ferry Company and Cuttyhunk Water Taxi from New Bedford."
While the ferry company offers year-round travel, scheduled trips are less frequent in the offseason. Wickes said many folks who live on Cuttyhunk have their own boats to make things easier.
Sure, it might be a little tougher to get to Cuttyhunk. But living on island time, in this enchanting home, might be the grand adventure you've been looking for.
