LAND + SKY + OCEAN + SOLITUDE

PROPERTY PROFILE Jordan Real Estate $7,850,000

Set back from the road, the property at 98 Tom Nevers Road features 85,000-plus square feet of flat, upland area and nearly half of that again in dunes and beach.

This land is amazing and varied. This land practically asks to be lived upon and enjoyed.

In addition, the sky here is big - stretching from horizon to horizon, providing equally impressive sunrises and sunsets. Whether sunny-blue, cloudy, or obscured by a comforting blanket of fog, the sky plays a starring role in the sensibilities of this property.

And then there is the ocean which is as much a part of this place as the land or sky. Wide swaths of deep blue, sun-glinting water are viewable from nearly everywhere on the lot. As you stand and drink it in, there is nothing between you and Europe except a vast and wide sea - quite literally the ends of the earth. In the summer, the beach is inhabited only by you and your few neighbors. In the winter, the only visitors are the horse-head seals who sun themselves there.

This is a place of great awe and wonder. Of natural beauty. Where every breath is restorative, and every view is new and extraordinary.

If this property only featured a one-room shack, it could still be aptly described as "spectacular."

And yet, there is more to talk about. Because there is no one-room shack here. In fact there are two impressive structures , expertly sited to take full advantage of land and sky and ocean.

You approach your new home via a curved driveway which ends in a circle around a white flag pole. The circle is bordered by the guest house and the main house. From this view the home makes quite a statement. Two narrow gables tied together with a wide mass of roof which slopes down, creating a large covered front porch that wraps around the left side of the structure. This completely new building, with its blonde shingles and red cedar roof, will soon drink in the salt air and transform itself to a lustrous silver-grey. In this way, it will become a part of the land and the sea and the sky on any given day.

Enter the main house and you step into a wide, sunny living room with a large Federal-style fireplace, faced in black granite. Straight ahead, you catch a glimpse of the ribbon of deep blue ocean through tall windows. The sky is filtered through the strong lines of the backyard pergola. The sun is reflected in the wide swimming pool just steps beyond.

The kitchen is vast and impressive. Here you'll find acres of dark grey stone counters, a wonderful Lshaped prep island and every modern convenience. The appliances are restaurant grade stainless steel. The refrigerator features double doors (one of which is a glass panel) and two massive freezer drawers below. The range features six gas burners and a built-in grill. There are two dishwashers here, an under-thecounter microwave, a wine chiller - everything a professional chef or a homeowner who loves to entertain might need.

The dining area, adjacent to the kitchen, is surrounded by windows, providing diners with a spectacular view. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a powder room and laundry area just steps from the side entrance.

The master bedroom suite is also on the first floor. It stretches from the front of the home to the back, and features a bath with a massive step-in soaking tub, dual sinks and a large, glass-faced shower. Step from the bath and you are surrounded by two walk-in closets. Afew more steps, and you're in the master bedroom with its impressive fireplace and even more impressive view of the ocean and sky. This truly is a magical place to wake up in the morning with the warm sun entering your bedroom and the sound of the ocean below.

Upstairs there are three large bedrooms, each with its own full bath and amazing views. A second floor sitting room has a fireplace and provides access to a second story deck and shares the spectacular vistas beyond.

The guest house, which includes a two-car garage, is more spacious than many main dwellings on Nantucket. On the first floor is a gourmet kitchen with a large L-shaped breakfast bar and top-of-the-line appliances. It is adjacent to a large living room space, with French doors leading to a deck beyond. The second floor offers two bedrooms with private baths, cathedral ceilings and even more lofty views. A sitting space and the central stairway separate them.

This incredible and impressive sixbedroom, seven-bath, two-half-bath property with unparalleled views, and a very private beach via a wonderful meandering granite-stair walkway is

offered at $7,850,000. I
