Description

Hollywood Farm is truly an island gem. Built in the 1870s, it was owned by the well-known Nantucket Starbuck and Swain families. In 1908, Fred Maglathlin purchased the property, dubbed it "Hollywood Farm" and ran it successfully for the next 75 years; it was the largest working farm on the island. Today, over 200-abutting acres are owned by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation. The present property now includes the original farmhouse and barn, a 1-bedroom guest cottage and a separate music studio....Hollywood Farm is truly an island gem.

The lovely perennial garden and mature landscape provide a private and enjoyable setting with views over cranberry bogs and the surrounding conservation lands. The property combines old Nantucket charm with many modern conveniences - a rare opportunity to own a piece of the historical Nantucket countryside.
