Nestled in the Mass. mountain town where Conn., N.Y., and Mass. meet, this extremely private, magical 37-acre woodland estate has it all. Incredible western sunset views, multiple decks overlooking a running brook, and gunite pool, all adjoining over 8000 acres of state forestland. The main house has been lovingly and exquisitely renovated with no detail or expense spared. Open kitchen/living with high ceilings and flooded with natural light. Dramatic 22′ circa 1920 river stone fireplace separates the living room and library. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, office with fireplace, wine cellar, TV room, and laundry room complete the main house. Two charming guest houses add 6 bedrooms for family and friends. Additional outbuildings and barn. Very low taxes and only 35 minutes to Metro North or Amtrak!
What’s the most compelling thing about this property?
From the moment you set foot on this property, you are instantly drawn in by nature, with the never-ending views in all directions, the sound of rushing water and the birds singing in the fresh mountain air.
For whom is this house perfect?
This home is perfect for anyone who loves to be surrounded by family and friends. The main house is the perfect gathering place to entertain numerous guests and at the same time can be intimate for only two. With guest cabins, family and friends can retreat to their own spaces to relax or work. And all of this is totally private from distant neighbors.
What’s the most fun thing to do within five miles of this house?
There are so many things to do and places to explore. Bash Bish Falls, the highest waterfall in Massachusetts, is just around the corner and perfect for hiking or swimming. Catamount Mountain ski resort is a perfect destination for skiing and offers summer fun for the outdoor adventure seekers.
If this house could talk, what secret would it tell about its history?
This romantic property was built as a result of a love affair between an American WWI soldier injured in battle and the Swiss nurse who saved his life in France. The love that created this property can still be felt to this day.
