76 Mattakesett Way

A stunning great room with cathedral ceiling is the heart of this sun-drenched “upside-down” house in Katama near South Beach.

A well-stocked kitchen with stainless appliances and island, large dining table, comfy living area with TV and a handy half-bath are surrounded by panoramic windows and glass doors. Enjoy the central air-conditioning inside, or step out onto the deck with its soothing breezes and majestic views across a vast expanse of pristine conservation grassland to the ocean just beyond. After-beach drinks on the deck, followed by a fresh grilled seafood dinner and a spectacular sunset, with ocean waves providing the soundtrack, make for a perfect summer evening.

The ground floor has a bright primary bedroom with king bed, bath, TV and a door opening onto a private deck with a swing for a lazy morning coffee. Second bedroom has two twin beds and a third has two sets of bunkbeds—perfect for kids and cousins—with a shared hallway bathroom with shower and tub.

A spiral staircase leads to a third-floor loft with a double bed futon, and a desk with ocean views to inspire your inner poet.

Store bikes, fishing poles and beach gear in the large unfinished basement. The lawn is perfect for your favorite yard game (or a wedding), with an outdoor shower for rinsing off afterwards.

This house is all about location, location, location: on a quiet dirt lane that runs between the unspoiled Katama Plains and the 160-acre Katama Farm, a 5-minute walk to the beach or the Katama Kitchen (formerly the Right Fork Diner) and close to miles of bike paths. This is the perfect escape for soaking in the summery essence of Martha’s Vineyard—and it is also fully winterized for guests who want to enjoy the quiet wonders of the island in the off-season.
