Location: Great Barrington, Berkshires, Massachusetts, USA (This home is two and one-half hours from NYC and Boston.)
Accommodations: House, 6 Bedrooms, 4 Baths (Sleeps 12)
This lush and lovely property with a spring-fed swimming pond and twenty-two acres is nestled into the base of Monument Mountain, deep within the heart of the Berkshires. There are two stone patios, one located off the kitchen and the other off the back of the house, as well as a screened-in porch near the front entry. Outdoor seating and a propane grill make for easy, relaxed summer days and nights.
This is classic Berkshire living with gorgeous views a swim pond, and close proximity to all the Berkshire attractions. Monument Valley road is a quick 5 mins to the center of Great Barrington, 5 mins to Stockbridge, 10 minutes to Tanglewood, etc.
The house is well designed for entertaining a large family or several friends traveling together. The house sleeps twelve, in six bedrooms. There are two bedrooms on the main floor: the master with queen bed and its own newly renovated bathroom, and a large bedroom with two twin beds and its own full bathroom. The other four bedrooms are divided between two separate wings on the second floor to create extra privacy. There are two bedrooms on one side: a charming attic / office space with two twin beds, another bedroom with a full bed. The other wing has a full bedroom and a queen bedroom. The house is filled with art, books, charm and it seems to have a story of it's own it wants to tell.
There is a living room with plenty of seating, a working fireplace old-school stereo, and bar area. The dining room is ambient with seating for twelve. There is additional seating in the kitchen. The study has the only TV set with cable TV and DVD player. The house is now wireless and although your cell phone may or may not function here, you have unlimited phone usage with the US.
The Berkshires is known for its wonderful shopping, restaurants, galleries, live theater, hiking trails, swimming holes, and ski resorts. We pretty much have it all here and Great Barrington is central to all of these activities and more. Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow as well as many wonderful museums are all within a shirt drive through the most stunning roadways in the Northeast. This home provides a wide array of cultural recommends as well as a thorough home-information packet.
The house is conveniently located within 5 minutes of ski Butternut. There is a back road that takes you right there so you can avoid route 7. Please contact me for more information. I have extra photos and would be happy to send them over!
