“Vue de L'est” is a modern interpretation of an old french country house, located in the rolling hills of the bucolic Berkshires in Western Massachusetts. It is situated at the end of a long drive in the middle of 20 very private acres of manicured lawns, rolling fields and mature woods, with open distant views, a pool and even a stream. The house, property and area offer all possible year round activities and enjoyment for large or small families, and family shares with ample hiking, biking, swimming, golfing, antiquing, canoeing, skiing, museums, art events and much more. Easy access from New York or Boston makes this house perfect for short or long term visits.
This year round private residence has a refined balance of authentic materials, fine craftsmanship, European antiques, and modern amenities offering personal privacy, open layout, extensive entertaining space, and integrated outdoor living. The bright and open house is replete with 200 year old barn board flooring, hand crafted doors, stone bathrooms, custom chef’s kitchen with 6 burner/griddle cooktop and 2 ovens, hand crafted bronze banisters, stone fireplaces, custom lighting, private owners wing, library and billiard room.
Minimum stay is 4 nights.

What a beautiful getaway! Impeccably maintained home with fantastic attention to detail. Just minutes to Butternut, not that anyone wanted to leave the house! Dream kitchen and beautiful fire places, fantastic books and artifacts make it feel welcoming. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you!Did you find this review helpful?
