Pick of the Week: Beautiful Farmhouse in West Tisbury

Martha’s Vineyard is well known for its expansive water views and maritime history, but a core component to the island’s unique identity is the rich agricultural tradition that is still vibrant today. Rolling green hills dotted with farms and crisscrossed by old stone walls are only a few short miles from the busy seaports. Here's one property that carries on that tradition and is now available for purchase.
