Perched high on the Sconset Bluff, 37 Sankaty Head Road Nantucket is one of the island’s most extraordinary oceanfront estates, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Sesachacha Pond, and the iconic Sankaty Lighthouse. This private 6-acre compound features a 12,000-square-foot main residence, a two-bedroom guest house, and a spectacular resort-style water feature unlike any other on Nantucket—complete with a wrap-around pool, fire pit, and ocean-view seating area. Originally built in 2006 and masterfully renovated in 2024, the property combines timeless architecture with museum-quality finishes. The interior draws from Nantucket’s natural palette of sandy beiges, coastal grays, and nautical blues, creating a seamless flow between the home and the breathtaking seascape. Generously sized, light-filled rooms boast intricate box trim, coved ceilings, custom panel doors, and bespoke craftsmanship throughout. Every detail—from the designer lighting to the intentional color accents—reflects quiet elegance and refined coastal living. With its unmatched location, world-class design, and expansive amenities, 37 Sankaty Head Road offers the rare opportunity to own a true Nantucket legacy estate.

First Floor

The foyer sets a tone of understated luxury. Oversized windows and multiple sets of French doors from the living and dining areas invite access to the expansive decks and patios, while two large fireplaces offer warmth during chilly late summer evenings. The kitchen, the true heart of the home, features a custom-designed center island, top-of-the-line appliances, and finely crafted cabinetry. Here, ocean views accompany every meal prep, casual meal, or gathering with family and friends. Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy seating area with a fireplace opens to a spacious stone patio that overlooks the water, perfect for al fresco dining. A fully-equipped California kitchen further facilitates outdoor entertaining. Parallel to the kitchen, a hallway leads to a first-floor guest suite, which boasts a cozy fireplace and a luxurious spa bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, and elegant French doors. The first floor also has a powder room and laundry room.

Second Floor

Ascending the grand staircase, illuminated by a striking chandelier, one finds the primary suite—a sanctuary with soaring ceilings that enhance its airy ambiance. An expansive private balcony invites gentle ocean breezes and panoramic views, while the spacious spa bath, featuring a large shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in closet, complete this serene retreat. Two additional ensuite bedrooms, each with private balconies, provide luxurious accommodations for family or guests.
