The Living Room also has a ceiling fan and skylights and an air conditioning unit.

Our house is located in the beautiful ''Up-Island'' part of Martha's Vineyard, amongst rolling hills and winding roads bordered with stone walls. The house is part of the ''North Tabor Farm'' association which consists of 100 acres and is a portion of the old James Cagney estate. There are 18 houses and several ''farm lots'' and ''open space lots''. The houses sit on lots which range from 3 to 6 acres each and are therefore quite private. North Tabor Farm is a working farm which grows field greens and vegetables which are highly prized on the Island. The farm stand building where you can buy organic produce grown on the farm and other food and grocery products is just a short walk from our home. There are also several horses which graze in areas of open spaces in the development.

North Tabor Farm is located off North Road, about 2 1/2 miles from the quaint fishing village of Menemsha. Menemsha also has a town beach which does not require a sticker. Less than 1 mile from North Tabor Farm (a 20 minute walk) is Great Rock Bight, a beautiful and relatively unknown Land Bank beach on the north shore of the Island. There are walking paths on our property and also on conservation land which abuts our property and which lead to Peaked Hill with beautiful vistas of the island and the surrounding waters.

Lucy Vincent Beach is about 4 miles from our house; it is a short bike ride away. Beetlebung Corner with the Chilmark Store, the town library, Town Hall (which houses the beach pass office), the post office, and the Chilmark Community Center (which has a morning program for kids through the age of 14) is located 3 miles from North Tabor Farm. West Tisbury is located about 6 miles away, and Vineyard Haven and Edgartown are both 15-20 minute drives from our house. We think it's a perfect location for a restful vacation on a wonderful island. read more show less
