In very exciting news for Nantucket, 119 acres off Milestone Road in ‘Sconset, including the historic and iconic Skinner’s golf course, transferred for $16 million on May 1, 2012 to the ‘Sconset Trust and the Nantucket Islands Land Bank.  This “milestone” transaction is one of the largest land transfers in Nantucket history, second only to the 264-acre conservation-restricted transfer of the Linda Loring property in Madaket.  Windwalker Real Estate served as the buyer’s agent for this sale and as a real estate advisor assisting the conservation groups for several years in the land analysis of this significant and complicated site.

Developed in 1894, the Old Siasconset Golf Course – usually shortened to the ‘Sconset Golf Course or “Skinner’s,” – was among the first 100 courses in the country and is believed to be the oldest privately-owned golf course still being played.  It is of tremendous benefit to the Nantucket community that the golf course will remain in operation.  The Land Bank will assume ownership of the golf course property and continue its operation, while the ‘Sconset Trust will acquire the adjacent parcel to the east and maintain it as open space, forever preserving the scenic entry into Siasconset.  Both for its scale and importance to the Nantucket community, this is certainly one of the most significant real estate transactions on Nantucket and Windwalker is pleased to have been a part of this land use preservation.

This beautifully maintained and exquisitely furnished three bedroom Mid-Island Nantucket home offers three finished levels of living space, a two car garage, a lovely landscaped yard, and a spacious deck – ideal for entertaining.  The wonderful master suite boasts custom closets and French doors that open to a side deck.  A library with built-in bookshelves, a fabulous chef’s kitchen with vaulted ceilings and top-of- the-line appliances, and a home gym and dry sauna are highlights of this Nantucket property worthy of mention.  6 Sheep Commons Lane is exclusively listed by Jeanne Hicks of Windwalker Real Estate for $1,895,000.  *Owner is a licensed MA Real Estate Broker.

With the recent spectacular weather the island has enjoyed, and a renewed vibrancy in the local real estate market, one might mistake the first quarter of 2012 for the height of the Nantucket season.  In fact, real estate transactions recorded during the first three months of the year surged well ahead of the activity we’ve seen during the first quarter in any of the past five years.  Could it be that the Nantucket real estate consumer is back?  Signs currently point to yes…click here to sign up & read the full March 2012 Monthly Report (you’ll also have complete access to Windwalker’s Nantucket Research Hub).
