News and Ideas Worth Sharing

An historic legacy estate compound on 63 acres with extraordinary views

Timothy Lovett and Fin Hanley of Berkshire Property Agents offer a coveted Berkshire gem, a much-loved family compound on the market for the first time since 1938.

Blueberry Hill is an historic legacy property enjoyed by four generations and available for the first time since 1938, a secluded retreat yet proximate to popular Berkshires attractions. Surrounded by 63 acres of land, its sprawling private footprint makes this estate a coveted Berkshires gem. The compound includes three residences that offer space for family, friends, and support staff—a five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath gracious Main House, a converted barn-style three-bedroom, three-bath Guest House, and a three-bedroom, two-bath Caretakers House with multiple garage bays for both cars and equipment. There are facilities for outdoor activities such as tennis, swimming, hiking, fishing, and a greenhouse. A newer solar array services the property. Spectrum internet and cell service.

What’s the most compelling thing about this property?

As you explore this property, you will find many compelling things about it, such as the setting, condition, layout, and beautiful landscape, but the aspect that will impress you most is its extraordinary view south over the Alford valley straight to the peak of Mount Everett, without another residence in site.

For whom is this house perfect?

Blueberry Hill has been enjoyed by the same family for three generations, so we imagine that someone with extended family would appreciate and use the multiple residences on the property that were always filled with kids, grandkids, siblings, cousins, in-laws, and friends for both summer and winter gatherings.

What’s the most fun thing to do within five miles of this house?

Although Great Barrington, Stockbridge and Lenox are nearby with limitless cultural venues and multiple ski areas, a Blueberry Hill owner or guest need not wander off the property to enjoy hiking, trail riding, swimming, tennis and golf driving, along with fishing in the coveted Alford Brook.

 

If this house could talk, what secret would it tell about its history?

Secrets remain secrets at Blueberry Hill, but among them would be the amazing life story of its creators, who moved to a small farmhouse that they eventually turned into the current estate after Hitler seized their castle in Europe! It’s an extraordinary story. Hopefully the next stewards of this beautiful compound will expand upon its legacy with their own life stories revolving around this beautiful part of the Berkshires.
