Get Your Gatsby On At This $26.5 Million Massachusetts Estate

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA — Winter is here, which, for residents of New England, means that more nights are spent at home with the sun gone by 4:30 p.m.

It also means that the holidays are here, which brings opportunities for family and friends to gather around the dinner table and fireplace.

This month, Patch's weekly Massachusetts real estate column has been featuring homes meant for hosting those gatherings.

For the final column of the month, we'll highlight one of our favorites for a hypothetical New Year's Eve bash.

One of the most expensive — and breathtaking — homes on the Vineyard is this one at 60 Bartimus Luce Rd. in West Tisbury, Mass.

A listing explains:

"This North Shore beachfront estate represents one of the most breathtaking properties in all of NE. The newly built home was created on a 3.3-acre parcel of land, surrounded by specimen trees, rolling grassy meadows and is highly situated on a stable bank overlooking nearly 250 ft of sandy beach. The entrance to the home leads across enormous granite steppingstones bridging over expansive reflection ponds with two waterfalls cascading to a lower-level pond. The entry way welcomes one to open and dramatic living spaces with 10 ft ceilings and large expanses of glass facing Vineyard Sound and the surrounding landscape. In the main residence, each of the 5 bedroom suites have unique features and connect with the beauty of the outdoors. The lower level includes a state of the art wine cellar, entertainment room, media room, gym and sauna. The glass circular staircase leads to a roof top pool which is surrounded by expansive decks and gardens and offers what is arguably the best place one could choose to watch the sunset each evening.Complimenting the property is a detached accessory building with two rooms & 2 FB. A weathered stone staircase providing easy access to the beach."

Ringing in the new year with a glass of champagne staring out over the Vineyard Sound sure sounds nice, doesn't it?
