The Belden House - WALK to Tanglewood !

Step into the Belden House, circa 1881. Stop and imagine reading a book beside the vintage Steinway in the music parlor, enjoying a special meal on fine limoge china, or playing croquet in the open fields among the sugar maples. Prepare a meal in the chef`s kitchen, settle into the rockers on the porch, then walk to Tanglewood as the evening concert begins. Six bedrooms, space to spread out — a National Historic landmark all your own for the weekend. This is your Berkshire summer.

Built in 1881 by Henry and Jennie Belden, the Belden House is a distinctive Second Empire country home and a National Historic Register landmark. It sits on a 15-acre hilltop — once part of a 1,000-acre dairy farm — with open fields and mature sugar maples still tapped for syrup each spring.

Inside the 3,800-square-foot home are six bedrooms, two full and two half baths, and the kind of details that have been cared for across more than a century: double parlor living rooms, a three-bay front veranda, a music room with a Steinway grand, and original art throughout. A chef`s kitchen with a Viking stove, views to the woodlands and mountains beyond, and a formal dining room set complete with limoge china. Upstairs, the second floor holds the bedrooms, while the third floor is home to a yoga and meditation room and a fully equipped home office.

Belden Farm is a piece of 1881 updated for today, with central air conditioning throughout and tasteful, period-minded décor that makes stepping back in time feel effortless and comfortable. Dine al fresco or settle onto the porch on a warm summer`s night, watching the Tanglewood traffic roll by out front. Close to downtown Lenox and walkable to Tanglewood, it`s a rare home that wears its history lightly and lives beautifully today.

The Belden House sits on one of Lenox`s most storied stretches — the same road that carries you straight to Tanglewood`s main gate. It`s a quiet, leafy setting one mile from downtown: close enough to walk to a concert with your picnic in hand, but set back on its own hilltop with open fields and sugar maples for privacy. Downtown Lenox, with its restaurants, galleries, and shops, is just minutes away, and the cultural heart of the Berkshires — The Mount, Shakespeare & Company, Naumkeag, the Norman Rockwell Museum — fans out in every direction from here. It`s the rare spot where you can have the calm of the countryside and the buzz of a Tanglewood summer night all at once.

Due to the nature of The Berkshire`s a car is recommended.
As a baseline we aim to host with the golden rule, treat our place with respect and we`ll take care of you in return.
