About Chilmark, Martha’s Vineyard
Chilmark is famous for its world-class beaches.
Noted for rolling hills, roaming wildlife, old stone walls and gorgeous coastline that create a scene straight out of a pastoral painting, Chilmark is a picturesque Up-Island town.
Settled in 1660, and made a separate township in 1694, Chilmark is now a mainly residential town, with lots of farming and a small working harbor that creates a haven for fishing and boating.
There are a number of sanctuaries in Chilmark including Menemsha Hills, 211 acres of land protected by the Trustees of the Reservation and crisscrossed with walking paths that allow hikers to enjoy wooded groves and breezy coastline.
Climb to the highest point of Martha’s Vineyard on Peaked Hill and take in the breathtaking views. Send me more information about Chilmark luxury property!
Chilmark also has several lovely beaches, including the public Menemsha beach and two beaches open to permanent and summer residents only. Send me more information about Chilmark luxury homes!
Chilmark: Fisherman’s Haven
Although attractions like the Chilmark Store (pizza, sandwiches, sundries), the Chilmark library and the Chilmark Tavern are in more rural settings throughout the town; Menemsha is the real town establishment.
A quaint and picturesque fishing town along the Vineyard sound, Menemsha has long been a point of departure for draggers and lobstermen, as well as the site of the United States Coast Guard station.
Indeed, this village is a prime spot to take a private vessel or to embark on a chartered fishing trip or boat cruise. Send me more information about Chilmark luxury homes!
Thanks to this fishing boom, Menemsha is home to many restaurants and markets that serve up some of the freshest seafood on the island. Order a lobster steamed to order at Menemsha and Larsen’s Fish Markets or pick up fresh fish and live lobsters to bring home.
The fried delicacies at The Bite, an unassuming shack on the way to Menemsha beach, are a must-have. Take your meal to the beach and have a picnic while watching the sunset, as Menemsha is renowned as the best place on the Vineyard to watch this spectacle.

Thinking about a Guest House?
Guest houses don’t come easy in Chilmark. First, the Zoning Board of Appeals will only consider a special permit for a guest house after the principle dwelling on the property has been owned for five years.
Other requirements include that the lot on which the principal dwelling and the accessory dwelling are located contain a minimum area of three acres.
Another important element is that the maximum floor area of the accessory dwelling shall not exceed 800 square feet, which shall include any roof-covered area enclosed by walls or screening. See the Chilmark bylaws for the full set of requirements. Send me more information about Chilmark luxury homes!
Area
Chilmark is one of the most rural towns on Martha’s Vineyard, with rolling hills etched with rocky reminders of the last Ice Age and a tiny population of just 1,212 year-round residents. The hills offer panoramic vistas of the island, Vineyard Sound and Elisabeth Islands to the north and the island’s southern beaches and the waters of Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
Homes are hidden down long dirt roads, atop hillocks and reigning over farms and fields. There is no town center, but the Chilmark Community Center, Chilmark Store and Menemsha provide plenty of small-town-like places to gather. It’s quieter here and for residents and renters, that’s the way they like it. Send me more information about Chilmark luxury homes!
Chilmark School
Chilmark schools go all the way back to 1663. It has long been important to area residents to maintain a school within the town. Today, the Chilmark school is a member of the Up Island Regional School District, which also includes Aquinnah and West Tisbury.
In November 1999, children and teachers moved into their, then brand new, $3.6M campus, joining a long succession of educational facilities in the town and ensuring local education for generations to come.
Currently, the school has 50 students in grades K-5 with a student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1. Chilmark students in grades 6-8 attend the West Tisbury School. Send me more information about Chilmark luxury homes!
Multi-Age Classrooms
Chilmark School uses a multi-age approach to learning. It has been an integral piece of the school’s philosophy since its inception.
Thus, the school combines Kindergarten & 1st grade, 2nd & 3rd grades and 4th & 5th grades. The multi-age classroom offers many benefits to the student as well as the school community, according to administrators.
They say that this environment embraces differences in learning styles and embodies cooperation and support between learners. Instruction is customized to a student’s learning speed, rather than the student being confined to a grade level based on a set of expectations.
Students experience new roles in a multi-age classroom—transitioning from novice to mentor within each two-year cycle. This growth promotes confidence, self-esteem and helps to nurture strong classroom communities.
Administrators find that students forge relationships outside of their age groups and more easily respect the perspectives and individuality of all students. Send me more information about Chilmark luxury homes!
