A picturesque tiny house that is nestled in the historic Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association has just hit the market for $640,000—offering a “rare opportunity for year-round living” inside one of the area’s most idyllic communities.
However, the pint-sized property, which has shot to the top of the week’s most popular homes list, also comes with a very unique set of circumstances.
Located in the Oak Bluffs campground, the 354-square-foot, gingerbread cottage is small on space but large on asking price at $1,808 per square foot—and that doesn’t even include the land.
The community, once a former 19th century religious camp and designated National Historic Landmark, owns the property the homes sit on.
When purchasing this home, buyers become leaseholders and there is an application process required for membership in the MVCMA before closing on the home.
Built in 1870, the studio home with a covered front porch nestled in the popular summer rental community has been winterized for year-round residency. Recent modernizations throughout the small space include cathedral ceilings, a skylight, and hardwood floors.
Also grabbing attention this week are a Panther House in Oregon, a former jailhouse in Arkansas, and a condo built into the choir loft and bell tower of a former church in Pennsylvania.
