256 Polpis Road is an exceptional 6.42-acre legacy estate offering stunning views and direct water access to Polpis Harbor. Botticelli and Pohl Architects, together with Hehir Group Custom Builders, have spent two years thoughtfully and completely reimagining this grand and refined historic home. This rare offering is ready for immediate enjoyment for those seeking luxury living and the very best of Nantucket. Spanning over 15,000 square feet, the estate boasts sweeping vistas and panoramic water views, surrounded by lush natural landscape designed by Ahearn Landscape Design. At the center of the property stands a spectacular main house featuring 10 bedroom suites, 3 floors of finished living space, floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the exceptional scenery, an 18x48' infinity-edge swimming pool, cabana, two-car garage, gym, movie theatre, and billiard room. The two-story guest house is thoughtfully sited to provide privacy from the main residence and complements the estate’s exceptional waterfront setting. Its second floor offers a spacious open living area with sweeping views of Polpis Harbor and access to a private deck. The structure has been fully reframed with new siding, roof, windows, electrical, and plumbing, creating a turnkey shell ready for the next owner to customize to their vision. The property also presents the potential to secure an estate-side mooring, further elevating its appeal. Winding trails lead directly to the harbor, offering access to cherished Nantucket pastimes like kayaking, clamming, and waterfront exploration. At the heart of this exceptional estate is a historically significant, iconic boathouse—a rare and irreplaceable amenity that is every skipper’s dream. Meticulously designed and curated by SLC Interiors, the residence is offered fully furnished, with no detail overlooked. This is more than a home—it is a Nantucket experience not to be missed.
