Property Description

Carvers Harbor on Vinalhaven is defined by a distinct and memorable image, an iconic home standing proudly against a backdrop of safely moored boats and the working waterfront. Historically known as Snippershins, but affectionately referred to by locals as ''the yellow house,'' this landmark property dates back to the 1870s and has been in the same family for over 40 years. The current owners, lifelong sailors, first discovered Vinalhaven by boat and immediately recognized the rare value of this property: a protected 58-foot dock capable of accommodating a 40-foot sailboat at all tides, easy access to town, and the freedom to cast off at a moment's notice to take advantage of some of the best scenery in the world.

The property offers a rare and immersive connection to Carvers Harbor, with sweeping, nearly 360-degree views of the vibrant working waterfront and a setting that is both dynamic and ever-changing. In addition to its exceptional waterfront, the property includes a three-story main house with four bedrooms, a spacious two-bay garage and workshop with a separate year-round studio above, as well as a barn and additional outbuilding.

At the heart of the property, the home carries a deep connection to the water throughout and is thoughtfully oriented to capture its surroundings. Every window frames a unique and ever-changing island scene, while the covered porch offers a front-row seat to the harbor's daily rhythm. This immersive vantage point reflects the essence of island living and has inspired artists over the years, further cementing the home's place as a cherished part of the harbor. While many original features remain--such as rough-sawn beams and warm wood floors--the home has been carefully updated to enhance its connection to the surrounding waterfront. More than a home, ''the Yellow House'' is a vantage point, a legacy, and an invitation to experience Vinalhaven at its most authentic.
