Harborfront estates, conservation land, ten minutes to town.
Polpis runs along Nantucket's eastern shore, a rural stretch of harborfront estates, working conservation land, and cranberry bogs about ten minutes from downtown by way of Polpis Road. It's the neighborhood buyers land on when they want real space and privacy without giving up quick access to town — and to 'Sconset just beyond it. Search for Polpis Nantucket homes for sale and you're looking for acreage, water, and quiet.
Lots here run large — commonly one to three acres or more — and the crown jewels are the harborfront parcels with private docks and protected water off Polpis Harbor. Alongside them sit buildable land, new construction on generous sites, and classic shingle-style homes held by families for generations. Nantucket Conservation Foundation land woven through the area keeps the density low and the views open.
