Atwater Pond is a remarkable 321-acre retreat in southern Berkshire County. An immaculately renovated mid-century house and 1920’s guest cottage sit on the edge of a 32-acre, spring-fed pond, surrounded by hundreds of acres of pristine forest. Year-round recreational opportunities abound and a 4+ mile trail system winds through the property. Additional features include multiple docks, an historic boathouse, deep water swimming hole, paddock with run-in shed, and a 23′ Airstream trailer. Truly the best of both worlds, the property is supremely private, yet conveniently located to take full advantage of everything the Berkshires offer. Boston and New York City can be reached in 2.5 hours or less, while Bradley International Airport and the Pittsfield Airport are only 45 min away. In perfect turnkey condition.
What’s the most compelling thing about this property?
The sheer beauty of this property takes your breath away—a 32-acre, spring-fed pond surrounded by 321 pristine forest acres. It is so rare that a property of this nature, private yet accessible, comes on the market. And even rarer that it has an immaculately renovated house plus an inviting guest house. This is the epitome of “country retreat.”
For whom is this house perfect?
Anyone would be happy in this house. The main house—a sun-filled immaculate mid-century modern—can easily accommodate a family but would not overwhelm a couple or even a single person. And a charming guest house would welcome visitors into their own private space. Because the houses are in such immaculate condition and the furnishings are also available to buy, this house is especially perfect for the buyer who wants to be settled in and ready to enjoy the Berkshires by the summer of 2024.
What’s the most fun thing to do within five miles of this house?
The most fun thing would be just to stay home and enjoy this gorgeous property. Swim, kayak or canoe on your beautiful 32-acre spring-fed pond. Explore the 321 pristine acres. Or relax, cook great meals in your fully appointed kitchen, entertain friends, and get away from it all. But should you want to venture out, the Berkshires awaits you and some of the best restaurants are just a short distance away.
If this house could talk, what secret would it tell about its history?
The house would tell you that one family has owned this property for a very long time, with generations of family members using it and loving it. And now it’s waiting for you.
