Who doesn’t yearn for peaceful, easy living? The contemporary home at 515 State Road in Aquinnah, which recently sold for $4,000,000, offers just that. Situated on a hill overlooking Quitsa and Squibnocket Ponds, it has its own meditation pond on the three-plus acre lot. Inside are four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths spread out over 4,000 square feet of living space.

Renovated in 2019 in time to grace the July/August cover of House Beautiful magazine, it has a state-of-the-art kitchen, screened-in porch, finished basement, pool, and pool house. There’s also a roof-top deck with a 360-degree view of Vineyard Sound, the ponds, and the Atlantic Ocean. The new owners are probably relaxing up there now, enjoying the view of a billion stars all around.
