Luxury $16.5 Million ‘Sand Castle’ Tucked Away Inside Exclusive Martha’s Vineyard Country Club Is Ready for Its Next Ruler

Martha's Vineyard, MA, has long been a beacon of luxury coastal living—yet even its most regal residents couldn't fail to be impressed by a luxurious "sand castle" that has just been put on the market for $16.5 million, epitomizing the lavish lifestyle that the Vineyard is so famous for.

The estate at 3 Field Club Lane is tucked away inside an exclusive members' only club—just a few miles from the staggering estate owned by former President Barack Obama.

Known as the Sand Castle, the property features every signature style element of a traditional coastal palace, from its classic single siding to its immaculately landscaped lawns.

Nestled within the exclusive Field Club enclave in Edgartown, the five-bedroom mansion was built in 2021 and sprawls across 6,781 square feet—every inch of which has been designed with elegance in mind. 

"Step into an expansive open living plan where refined millwork, soaring ceilings, and elegant finishes define each space," the listing crows.

The seamless indoor-outdoor design is as practical as it is picturesque, with French doors opening to a manicured landscape with a heated gunite pool, chic pool cabana, and a firepit-lit patio. 

The home brings to life the very best aspects of coastal living; when the surf calls, South Beach and Edgartown Village are just a short drive (or bike ride) away, while the property's own grounds are replete with natural beauty.

Meanwhile, the elevated design details inside the home, which include custom cabinetry, a chef’s kitchen, and five sunny bedrooms each with their own en-suite bath, complement the seascape backdrop perfectly.

The house is also equally suited to hosting as it is to private weekend getaways—a separate garage comes with additional guest sleep quarters, while a finished basement is equipped with a movie theater and kitchenette. 

But the real luxury lies in the lifestyle the Field Club offers.

As one of the only members-only recreational and residential communities on Martha’s Vineyard, the club spans a dramatic 16-acre site thoughtfully transformed into an outdoor haven with two clubhouses, pools, tennis courts, lawn games, bocce, and children’s camp area.

Further examples of luxury coastal can be found in Edgartown itself, which has long attracted some of the country's wealthiest and most high-profile people to its picturesque properties.

Indeed, Barack and his wife, Michelle, were so enamored with the area that, when their favored rental property was sold to a buyer who ceased all short-term leases, they hastened to snap up their own abode in Edgartown.

The Obamas are familiar faces on the island as they vacationed there during seven of the eight years he was president. Their 2013 rental even earned the nickname the "Summer White House."

The Vineyard is famously a hideaway for celebrities and VIPs. Former President Bill Clinton regularly vacationed there during his time in office, and Larry David, Spike Lee, and David Letterman all own places there. Former first lady Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis' 360-acre compound known as Red Gate Farm went on the market over the summer for $65 million.

At $16.5 million, the Sand Castle is more than a house—it’s an invitation to embrace the paradise-like rhythm of life on one of the East Coast’s most coveted islands.
