171 Orange Street
Five bedrooms, built in 1850.
Positioned in one of Nantucket's most strategic and highly visible locations, this exceptional 34,000± square foot property presents a rare opportunity for mixed-use development with expansive possibilities.
Located directly across from protected Land Bank property, including the Creeks Preserve and the historic Ottison family property, the site enjoys water views and access to the Monomoy Creeks while offering the convenience of nearby Town and Mid-Island amenities. Zoned CMI, the property provides exceptional development flexibility, allowing mixed-use buildings with one residential apartment per 2,000 square feet of land, or alternatively, one apartment per 1,250 square feet when developed as an entirely residential project with no commercial use.
Municipal utilities, pedestrian and bicycle access, and proximity to Stop & Shop, Marine Home Center, the Mid-Island Post Office, local banks, and other established businesses further enhance its appeal. Combining exceptional visibility, natural beauty, and remarkable development potential, this is a truly rare generational offering in one of Nantucket's most dynamic commercial corridors.
