Where Craftsmanship Meets the Atlantic: A One-of-a-Kind Waterfront Residence. 13 Shepherds Lane is a private, gated oceanfront estate overlooking the world-renowned waters of St. Margaret’s Bay. This 9,000 sq.ft. luxury home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and direct ocean access. A grand foyer, wide-plank redwood floors, hand-hewn beams, and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows define the main level, offering both formal and informal living spaces anchored by stone fireplaces and a striking arched stone-wall feature. The chef’s kitchen includes granite countertops, wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, two soapstone sinks, and a dedicated butler’s pantry. The elegant primary suite features its own fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-like ensuite, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Two charming, light-filled rooms—ideal for an art studio or creative retreat—complete the upper level. The expansive lower level is built for entertaining, offering a large family room with a stone-ledge mantle, a second kitchen, wine cellar, sauna, exercise room, and an indoor heated pool with lounge areas and patio doors leading to a European-inspired dining terrace. Additional highlights include an attached three-bay garage with EV charger, sophisticated in-floor electric heating, a self-contained guest suite, a solid stone wharf, gazebo, private shoreline access, and protected anchorage. Enhanced by MU-2 zoning, the estate offers exceptional versatility for those seeking additional options or future possibilities—completing this extraordinary oceanfront property.
