Sandpiper Place

Sandpiper Place is Nantucket’s most significant new construction residential community, located in the mid-island area with convenient access to Town, everyday amenities, and the island’s south shore beaches. The community offers something that is genuinely rare on Nantucket: brand-new, custom-built homes with modern layouts, full-height finished lower levels, and a shared amenities center - all at a price point that would be difficult to replicate by purchasing land and building independently. I’ve represented more buyers in Sandpiper Place than any other broker on the island, and what I consistently hear from them is that the community fills a gap in the Nantucket market that didn’t previously exist: turnkey new construction with a genuine neighborhood feel.

Homes in Sandpiper Place are currently priced starting from approximately $2.5 million, with finished properties and resales reflecting the level of customization and finish. The homes are four-bedroom, with up to five and a half bathrooms, and feature options including first-floor and second-floor primary suites, finished lower levels, porches, and patios. The community includes both single-family and duplex configurations along Beach Grass Road. For buyers accustomed to the Nantucket market, where comparable new construction on a standalone lot can cost significantly more once you factor in land acquisition, Historic District Commission permitting, design, and the building timeline, Sandpiper Place offers a compelling value proposition that is difficult to find elsewhere on the island.

The defining amenity at Sandpiper Place is The Landing - a private clubhouse and amenities center that earned the community the 2025 PRISM Award for Best Clubhouse Community. The Landing includes a heated pool, outdoor kitchen, putting area, and fire pit, creating a resort-style gathering space that residents use throughout the season. The community also includes open space, a community garden, and a partnership with the Artists Association of Nantucket. The mid-island location puts residents minutes from Town, the grocery store, Nantucket Cottage Hospital, and the bike paths that connect to the south shore beaches. For buyers coming from larger markets, the convenience of this position - combined with the turnkey new construction - makes Sandpiper Place feel immediately livable in a way that many Nantucket properties do not.

For buyers considering Sandpiper Place, the process is different from a traditional Nantucket purchase. The current phase - Sandpiper Place II - represents the final phase of new construction, with homes available for 2026 occupancy. Because I’ve worked directly with the Sandpiper Place developers throughout the life of this community and have represented more buyers here than any other broker, I can walk you through the home style options, the customization process, and the specific differences between available positions within the community. I’d recommend browsing my past sales across the island to see how Sandpiper Place compares to other properties I’ve represented, and reviewing my approach to buying luxury real estate on Nantucket for broader context on the island’s market.

Sandpiper Place is a community I know better than any other broker on the island. If you’re considering a new home here - whether from the developer or through a resale - I’d welcome the conversation.
