It's a coastal dream

Looking For A Holiday Home? This Martha’s Vineyard Estate Is Selling For $24 Million
Previously owned by famous American news anchor Diane Sawyer, this gorgeous beachfront estate spans 20 acres of land and encompasses four properties: a three-bedroom main house, a two-bedroom cottage and two beach houses commanding some of the most spectacular views on Martha’s Vineyard. Two detached bedroom suites (known as the Pond Pavilion and the Ocean Pavilion) offer additional accommodation, and the compound also boasts a swimming pool and a tennis court.
Charmingly named Chip Chop, the estate was originally built in the 1940s for Broadway star Katherine Cornell, who hosted an array of prominent figures including Laurence Olivier, Noel Coward and even Eleanor Roosevelt. The entire plot is surrounded by a mile of private shoreline including 2000 feet on the banks of the Vineyard Sound – a glittering stretch of the Atlantic Ocean – and a large swath on Lake Tashmoo.
With ten bedrooms in total, there’s plenty of space for guests to enjoy this magnificent residence and soak up its stunning location. The swimming pool boasts particularly enviable views of the Vineyard Sound, with the mainland visible beyond.
Lush lawns and decked terraces provide wonderful areas for entertaining, while every room is spacious and yet cosy, with wooden beams creating a rustic, intimate feel.
There really is no better place for a coastal escape – even if this particular holiday home will cost you more than a few million dollars.
Chip Chop is on the market with Wallace and Co. Sotheby’s International Realty for $24 Million. For more information, visit sothebysrealty.com
