Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and unbeatable access to the best of the Berkshires. The home sits in a quiet, private Lake Garfield community, surrounded by trees and bathed in natural light, with beautiful lake views from nearly every room. It’s the kind of peaceful setting that immediately makes you feel relaxed.
The location is exceptional for anyone who loves the outdoors. It’s just a 5-minute walk to the Lake Garfield sandy public beach, and close to some of the region’s most scenic hiking trails. In the winter, skiing is incredibly convenient: Ski Butternut is only 5 minutes away, Otis Ridge is 13 minutes, and Catamount is a short 20 min drive.
We also chose this neighborhood for its proximity to the vibrant town of Great Barrington, just 15 minutes away, where guests can enjoy farm-to-table restaurants, cafés, local breweries, boutiques, and cultural attractions.
The Berkshires are stunning in every season, offering swimming, kayaking, fishing, fall foliage, skiing, tubing, and year-round recreation. This neighborhood gives guests easy access to all of it while still feeling peaceful, private, and connected to nature.
It truly offers the perfect balance of lake living, outdoor adventure, and New England charm—which is exactly why we chose it.
