Property Description
For the very first time, the historic Ben Luce Homestead (circa 1850) is being offered on the open market. This charming farmhouse blends rich Island history with timeless appeal.Once home to Benjamin Norton Luce (1840–1912) — Civil War veteran, blacksmith, and town constable — the property sits on 1.5 acres of pastoral land and offers 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, solar panels, barn, and a newly updated septic system meeting current standards. Thoughtfully restored for year-round living, the home provides comfort, character, and sustainability. Just minutes from Vineyard Haven’s harbor, shops, and ferry, this rare offering combines privacy with exceptional convenience.Whether enjoyed as-is or further restored as a preservation project, the Ben Luce Homestead is ready for its next chapter — as a year-round residence, summer retreat, or historic Island treasure.The barn offers the perfect foundation for adding an ADU or additional living space, enhancing both functionality and value.
