18th-Century Colonial House with Farmland

Scott Sawyer and Mandy Victor-Pieczarka of Stone House Properties offer a rare opportunity to own an unspoiled 18th-century Colonial with spectacular landholdings nestled off the beaten track in central Berkshire.

Seventy-four glorious acres with privacy and views quietly situated in Richmond. This 18th-century center chimney Colonial has period details and charm throughout. The first floor has a large keeping room with massive fireplace and functioning beehive oven, front parlor with fireplace, spacious kitchen and den. 3 second floor bedrooms share the half bath and first floor full bath. The barn provides sheltered parking and ample storage for garden equipment. Mature maple trees, fruit trees and gardens surround the house and the flat open pasture land offers a wonderful opportunity for farming, horses and livestock. A pond provides a natural sanctuary for a host of wildlife. A very special property with scenic views from all locations.
