    What a beautiful story about a generous family who were recycling pioneers way before most people. The property is so beautiful. I loved their outdoor kitchen and their house. Those two large picture windows no doubt offered many hours of viewing.

    I love Nantucket. I go up at the end of September for my birthday. I have not be up the past 3 years because of COVID and this year I will have to cancel my plans -- and not happy about it. So I have taken some photographs of the Ottison's property to remind me of what I am "missing" and hopefully will be up there next year. Although maybe I could go up for the Christmas Stroll. Thank you for preserving the "real" Nantucket! No airs and graces -- just the real deal! And I appreciate that so much!

    I love the thinking behind what the Ottisons have done with their property. At least there will be a bit remaining of what all of Nantucket used to be. Well done!!!

    My former in laws are from the cape. So much history…what a great story…10th generation Nantucketer! Very cool. Wonder if they have any Native American blood…what a great story. Too beautiful an area to be developed. How uplifting…thank you.

    Bless them for not selling out for the almighty dollar. I can only imagine what the developers would do with that property in an effort to make as much money as possible. Good, decent people giving back in the most selfless way.

    My family used to vacation every Columbus Day weekend on Nantucket. We stayed in the Wharf Cottages. They were built on docks & were floating.

    I would hardly say Nantucket is energy conscious. It is the playground for the rich.

      But the Ottison’s are energy conscious. I would agree that Nantucket is a playground for the rich, these folks are trying to preserve for eternity how it once was that is the purpose of the land bank.

    Too bad. I wish there was someone who would love it and not turn it into the “land banks” of the Hamptons.
