Tucked away on 20 acres along the shores of Vineyard Sound, Chip Chop is one of Martha's Vineyard's most iconic and storied properties. Originally built in the 1940s for Broadway star Katharine Cornell, this extraordinary beachfront compound has welcomed generations of notable guests from the worlds of theater, film, literature, and politics. Surrounded by nearly a mile of private shoreline, the property offers 2,000 feet of pristine sandy beach, perfect for swimming along with an additional private front on the calm waters of Lake Tashmoo. Whether you're lounging by the water, strolling the grounds, or taking in the sunset, the setting is nothing short of magical.
At the heart of the property is a charming two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath main house, featuring warm, inviting living spaces with timeless Martha's Vineyard charm. Just steps away, the Ocean Pavilion and Pond Pavilion offer private, detached bedroom suites ideal for guests seeking both comfort and seclusion. Two additional beach houses, built in 2007, combine modern design with sweeping water views: the East Shack includes one bedroom suite and an additional full bath, while the West Shack features two-bedroom suites. The main house, pavilions and shacks all have central AC.
A separate two-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage, with window AC units, provides even more space, making the estate ideal for extended families or group getaways.
Spend your days relaxing by the private swimming pool, which overlooks Vineyard Sound and offers panoramic views all the way to the mainland. For active guests, a Har-Tru tennis court is discreetly set in a quiet corner of the property.
Chip Chop is the ultimate island getaway for anyone looking to experience the best of Martha's Vineyard in complete privacy and comfort.
