Tranquil Modernity on Martha’s Vineyard

This singular estate melds the natural beauty of the island’s South Shore with the quiet elegance of a working farm.
Beach Farm, formally 61 Butlers Cove Road in Edgartown, is a remarkable property of uncommon scale and serenity, set on 18.6 acres of unspoiled waterfront within the storied enclave of Herring Creek Farm. There’s a quiet confidence to the place — a relaxed ease in its proportions and a feeling of deep connection to its surroundings. It’s somewhere that reveals itself slowly through light, space, and the rhythm of the tides.
Now listed with Corcoran Property Advisors, the estate presents an opportunity to live in one of the island’s most discreet and desirable locations — where architectural clarity meets the elemental beauty of the Vineyard’s South Shore.
Bordering Edgartown Great Pond and the Atlantic beyond, Beach Farm is sequestered amid 200+ acres of private preserve, with open meadows, heritage barns, and grazing horses, sheep, and cattle.
The approach to the estate is long and private — a gentle, winding drive that threads through the pastoral landscape before the residence is revealed.
Completed in 2023, the main house spans more than 7,100 square feet. The architecture — shingle-clad, low-slung, and quietly confident — draws from the island’s coastal vernacular styles, yet the execution is unmistakably modern. Natural materials, clean lines, and a restrained palette allow the surrounding environment to remain the focal point. Interior spaces are open and airy, with wide-plank floors, custom millwork, and walls of glass that frame sweeping views of Butlers Cove.
Once inside, you’ll find yourself in the embrace of a perfectly designed ease. With nine bedrooms, nine full baths, and two half baths, it’s as much designed for effortless entertaining as it is for inspired everyday life. The kitchen is tailored for both form and function, with top-shelf, bespoke cabinetry, and a generous island that anchors the space. Adjacent living and dining areas open to covered porches and sunlit terraces. Each of the nine bedrooms has an en suite bathroom, offering privacy and comfort. The primary suite is particularly well-situated, with a private terrace, spa-style bath, and views that stretch across the water.
The estate’s amenities speak to a lifestyle of wellness, leisure, and connection to the land. A spectacular three-bedroom surf house sits steps from the water, complete with an outdoor sauna and cold plunge, perfect for post-surf recovery or quiet contemplation. A dedicated workout barn adds space for fitness and movement, while beautifully maintained trails meander through native plantings and open fields. A nature path leads directly to the pristine sands of the South Shore, and a short bike ride connects you to the historic charm of Edgartown village.
The shoreline is private and pristine, ideal for swimming, kayaking, or simply watching the light shift across the cove. There’s ample room to add a pool, tennis court, or guest house, should one wish to expand the estate’s spec sheet. And yet, the existing composition feels complete, an intentional balance of cultivated luxury and natural simplicity.
Access to the island is seamless, with regular ferry service from Woods Hole and private air travel available via nearby Martha’s Vineyard Airport. Edgartown, just a short distance away, is one of New England’s most storied coastal towns. Known for its white-painted captain’s houses, cobblestone streets, and historic harbor, it offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that has drawn generations of seasonal residents, and where you’ll find fine dining, boutique shopping, and a vibrant cultural calendar.
