Nestled in the heart of Chilmark, this 12.5-acre property offers two charming dwellings, each with 3 bedrooms, set in a landscape of privacy and timeless Vineyard character. Built in 1950 and 1963 for American artist, Thomas Hart Benton, the homes were lovingly created as a compound for friends and family to return to year after year. Tucked down a quiet driveway, the two share a special legacy with the neighboring property at its end. Each house reflects the simple beauty of its era, open living spaces, and a relaxed, unpretentious spirit. Whether you choose to update, preserve, or reimagine, these homes are rich with potential with ample space for expansion. The land is natural, wooded, sloping and steeped in Chilmark’s rural charm. This is a unique opportunity to own a multi-home compound with a 50-year family history. *The house with pool, studio and garage at the end of the road, also owned by the Benton family, is also available for sale.
