For whom is this house perfect?
Dragonfly Manor is perfect for buyers who love to entertain and to gather with family and friends in place that’s private but minutes from all the Berkshire activities with convenient access to both Boston and New York. The spacious main residence with numerous common rooms, all with access to the outdoors where stone patios and an outdoor fireplace awaits.

What’s the most fun thing to do within five miles of this house?
If the almost 70 acres of hiking, cross-country skiing and your own playground complete with swimming pond don’t offer you enough action, just drive down the road to the eclectic center of West Stockbridge which offers art galleries, shops, and the best sandwiches ever at the Market. Dine at Truc’s Orient Express, enjoy live entertainment at the Foundry, sip the best coffee in the Berkshires at No. 6 Depot, stroll the weekly farmer’s market or walk among world-class sculptures at TurnPark Art Space. And if that’s not enough, zip over the mountain to Tanglewood and all that the town of Lenox has to offer.
If this house could talk, what secret would it tell about its history?
This house would share with you how a worldwide company executive, an architect and the founder of a local school all put their personal marks on this residence. It would tell you that the current owners have named the property Dragonfly Manor in honor of the thousands of dragonflies that light up the skies at each day’s end. And finally, it would show you how to contemplate the pleasures of life as you enjoy this magical natural light show and gaze at the sparkles over the water with the majestic Berkshire Hills in the background. Perfect!
