Nocket Downs, located in Blacksmith Valley
Chilmark Vacation Rental - ID 8790

Our home, named Nocket Downs by my mother in 1960, is now owned and managed by eight family members. Our family spends as much time there as possible. The older generation wants the younger generations to know and love the property with the surrounding ponds, wetlands and beaches. We all hope that our tenants experience the wonderful feeling of serenity and beauty that happens the minute you drive up the driveway and look at the view. The sense of awe is always impressive no matter many times we experience arriving at our home.

What is special about this property?
Nocket Downs was built in 1958 with love and care. It is designed to give the feeling that you are in nature, soaking up the view. You are not just looking out the window, you are in the meadow, in the garden, in the pond and in the ocean beyond. The kitchen addition adds to the spaciousness of the living and dining area. There is a warm and welcoming energy. Whether you are sipping your first cup of coffee or pouring a glass of wine, you look out the windows and experience joy and relaxation. Everyone who enters our home just has to pinch themselves. It is an extraordinary experience.
